Why I oughta...No i dont think so, I was just messing with you.
Wasn't this the record Lennon heard and thought about how great it was - until he learned it was Paul?
Big fan of this song. One of their top 3 for me.
I am not the only vote for this song, but I am the first, so this song belongs to me! Me me me!!! Mine mine mine!!!
At seven minutes, it might also be my longest song. The anti-Pip. Listen all the way through. It picks up and twists and turns and every direction is interesting.

Sort of. The story goes that it came on and he was loving it and then Paul's vocal came in and he said something like "**** a pig, it's Paul!" I'm so happy to see this one selected. McCartney II represent!
AAaaahhh ... thought I had a great shot at the Ace with "One Night In Bangkok"
The live version is on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/0Ix1999mTT1A3TF6Bywgv5?si=da2RAUvTQPO8q9wEGoTWGwWasn't this the record Lennon heard and thought about how great it was - until he learned it was Paul?

The Enya song turned out not to be new to me, and I always did like that one.
I don't know their whole catalog, but my favorite of known-to-me Doves song hasn't been chosen yet. I'll refrain from posting about so as not to steal anyone's thunder.Big fan of this song. One of their top 3 for me.

thought I had a great shot at the Ace with "One Night In Bangkok"
It would also make a great social media post with no context. This place has its own language.thought I had a great shot at the Ace with "One Night In Bangkok"
Would make a great sig.

Found a live version...not sure if it's the right version or not. Also, if it's a youtube link I never open the links, just use the first song that pops up.Wasn't this the record Lennon heard and thought about how great it was - until he learned it was Paul?
Sort of. The story goes that it came on and he was loving it and then Paul's vocal came in and he said something like "**** a pig, it's Paul!" I'm so happy to see this one selected. McCartney II represent!
Also, @Hawks64 , assuming the live version that @higgins selected isn't on Spotify (it might be - didn't check), I'd suggest using the album version of this song rather than the single. It's a lot wackier.
It is - it's the same version I linked before but from his greatest hits album.Found a live version...not sure if it's the right version or not.
This song just rocks so hard. It also has some of the most clever lyrics I've come across:
I have no issues with him. He composed some great songs. There's something to be said for craftmanship. Folks like Webber, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lieber & Stoller, the kids in the Brill Building, Holland-Dozier-Holland, the guys in Grand Funk. Those songs will far outlive us and be loved and covered as long as humans listen to music.Nice to see some Andrew Lloyd Webber love. I know a lot of people don’t like him but the guy really is genius. Especially the early stuff like JCS and Evita.
What's Youssou N'Dour singing at the end?I love In Your Eyes but... From time to time I hear that rhythmic upper range bell sound a bit too much and find it kinda annoying.
Reaction.I have no issues with him. He composed some great songs. There's something to be said for craftmanship.

This song just rocks so hard. It also has some of the most clever lyrics I've come across:
Spent some time feeling inferior
Standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
But I came out looking just the same
Daddy said, son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing, don't lose your head
To a woman that'll spend your bread
So I got out, whoo
Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in
The French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank, minding my own, whoo
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused, whoo
I moved on
Down in Rome, I wasn't getting enough
Of the things that keep a young man alive
My body stunk, but I kept my funk, whoo
At a time when I was right outta luck
Getting desperate, indeed I was, yeah
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear, I better get out of here
For the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no, no
I moved right out east, yeah
Listen, on the Peeking ferry, I was feelin merry
Sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit-eyed lady
By the light of an eastern moon
Shanghai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh, people, I was glad I found her
Oh, yes I was glad I found her, woo-hoo
Wait a minute
I firmly believed that I
Didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be
The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit-eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God, I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
To help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'Cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off, ha
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it, whoo
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
Every picture tells a story, don't it
