This isn't exact, and that's last bit sounds like "Unskinny Bop"
by Poison (yeah, I know, it's really "I Know A Little" by
Skynyrd), so I don't like it. But this is as good as I can do
with this bit.
3) "My life's fun is wild?" Bell didn't really say that, did he?
Well, it's the best *I* can do with it. Any better suggestions are
welcome.
4) There is a piano in here, mostly doing the chords.
5) The vocal harmonies are a large part of this (and almost every Big
Star) song. The most amazing bit comes during the "So right" part.
The backing vox (singing "right") go from G to F# over the G-D
change, and then they go back up from F# to G over the D-A
change, making the A chord an amazing dominant 7th. This is, of
course, a very basic expanation of what is going on here. I'm
sure it's a lot more complicated, but this'll get you started.
