166. Flying (Magical Mystery Tour, 1967)
Beatles version: Spotify YouTube
Since this is my third attempt at a write-up, I'll keep it short.
I know a lot of people don't appreciate this one, but I find it soothing and could listen to it for hours. So suck it.
Fun fact: first song to be credited to all four of the lads.
Mr. krista: "“[10 seconds in] I like this a million times better [than Fool on the Hill]. I like this one. I like that song. I wish it were 20 minutes long. I like it’s all spacey and surfy in the beginning, like Shadowy Men, like a really extended theme song to a great comedy sketch show. I like the lalalalalas. It’s clear it’s transitional music to get from one part of the thing to the other part, but for what it is, it’s great. It’s excellent sorbet after the ##### sandwich that is Fool on the Hill.”"
Suggested covers: OMG here it is with Chet Baker on flugelhorn! But I actually enjoy this one more, though it might be the cover pic of Mr. Rourke(?) and the "zee plane, zee plane" guy that gets me over the finish.
