"Don't Bring Me Down"

Twice in "Don't Bring Me Down," there's a melisma'd "around" (C# C# B) to give either a sense of breadth ("Word gets around") or continued presence ("You're still around").  "Down" in the title line is sung with a descending melisma (G# F# E), musically giving a sense of the word's meaning.
