I had a tee-shirt of the cartoon Beatles I used to wear all of the time - I miss it now!!!! I liked the cartoon but the Beatles didn't.Some of us geezers around here may also remember the Beatles cartoons from the mid '60s. I remember watching reruns as a little kid.
OMG I fogot about the WayOuts! How about the Beau Brummelstones?Love it. Was going to post this clip when I posted the Way Outs upthread,.
Hey man, Keith sang nearly as many songs as Ringo and George.krista4 said:There's a snippet of an interview with Paul that I've heard on the Beatles channel a few times where he describes a conversation with one of the Rolling Stones - Mick or Keith, I can't remember - and whoever it was commented how lucky the Beatles had been to have four front men, whereas the Stones had only one. That live clip above shows that, I think.
Add The Mosquitoes to the mix.One more and then I'll stop. I always liked this clip of the Standells (great garage band of the 60s) playing I Want to Hold Your Hand on the Munsters.
She's my little rock n' roll...Hey man, Keith sang nearly as many songs as Ringo and George.

Pure joy. I'm not going to do a big write-up here. Enjoy this live performance with me, and you'll see why I love this one. Ringo's head shakes...the toss to George at ~1:00 and George's glee...and don't miss John's little kick at ~1:50 that drives the girls wild.
Original Shirelles version
Mr. krista: "I like it, and I like the Shirelles, too. And Ringo is a great singer for a song like that. It’s a jam."
LOL!!! That song is on my "whittled-down" list for my wake draft!!OMG I fogot about the WayOuts! How about the Beau Brummelstones?
HUGE fan. Anything Beatles - since I had the lunchbox and all.Some of us geezers around here may also remember the Beatles cartoons from the mid-to-late '60s. I remember watching reruns as a little kid.
I’ll go with Paperback WriterCome on y'all, While Krista is dealing with downtime, what is your prediction for her #1?
Before this thread I never gave the slightest thought to ranking the Beatles tunes, but here we are. I still think Something and She Said She Said are my favorite contenders.
While we're killing time, my all-time favorite Beatles tune is I've just Seen a Face.
A Day in the Life is an obvious guess but I’ll go with the only slightly less obvious Hey Jude. I bet the second portion, with Paul’s vocal riffing, really gets her.Come on y'all, While Krista is dealing with downtime, what is your prediction for her #1?

I'm leaning Krista leans on perfectly crafted songs, which makes A Day in the Life a strong contender for top 10, all things considered.A Day in the Life is an obvious guess but I’ll go with the only slightly less obvious Hey Jude.

My personal favorite Beatles song is I’ve Got A Feeling.

First off I love the guitar riff. Second, it’s one of those rare late Beatles tunes in which both Paul and John sing a portion. Finally, it reminds me of my late brother, who died of cancer about 4 years ago now. We had very different musical tastes but we both happened to love that song.tim, why is I've Got A Feeling your favorite tune? It's an interesting choice. Obviously I love the song since it hasn't been posted yet, but I am surprised by that as I rarely hear people talking about that one.
Sorry for your loss, Tim. I've got one brother and I could not imagine losing him.First off I love the guitar riff.

I suppose it would be tops for me. My wheelhouse is 70s progressive music and it has two “movements” which is appealing. Really love the piano coming in at the beginning of the second section. Just a perfectly crafted song. I’ve grown to really enjoy “I Want You (She’s so Heavy)” but it’s simple when stacked up against A Day in the Life. I guess if you give me the whole Abbey Road suite as a unit that would be my #1, but I don’t personally reckon it that way since the songs are individually named. In short, I don’t know how you were able to do this ranking. I’d spin my wheels endlessly.pecorino, is A Day in the Life your favorite?
I’m ranking the Abbey Road medley as a whole here, though within that ranking I’ll also rank the snippets individually.pecorino said:I suppose it would be tops for me.

An innocuous enough song. Can't say anything bad or overly good about it. Just hey-la, hey, hey-lo-ah.142. Hello, Goodbye (single, 1967)
You really need the hula girls for this one...I'm going to post one before spending the rest of the day cleaning out my Grandpa's place. :(
142. Hello, Goodbye (single, 1967)
Beatles version: Spotify YouTube
Paul's song about duality, and he said, unsurprisingly, that it was meant to advocate for the positive side of duality. Sunny, cheery Paul. He even used "ebony ivory" as one of the dualities in an interview about the song. Hmmmm...ebony and ivory...where have I heard that?
My favorite parts of this song are the violas and the coda, which was nicknamed the "Maori Finale." Overall the song all feels too slight for my taste, and despite Paul trying to make a substantive statement with the lyrics they fall flat for me. I don't have much to say about this one - nice melody and an interesting ending, but not enough to get ranked higher.

It's my second favorite Beatles song (a large part because I do love the Paul and John vocal trade off) behind Here Comes the Sun.timschochet said:First off I love the guitar riff.

I love those promotional video clips that they put together, but that is some bad lip synching/playing.
I think this is a song that is ranked perfectly. Catchy melody, nothing earth-shattering. My appreciation for it certainly grew from playing Beatles Rock Band on the Wii with my kids. This one was one of their most frequent picks to play.I'm going to post one before spending the rest of the day cleaning out my Grandpa's place. :(

Can't listen to this anymore, but has nothing to do w Beatles. For this entire decade, i've been writing a movie musical about Alice grownup in the ultimate Wonderland, New York City. Successful businesswoman with inadequate lovelife has a wine&Ambien dream after a promising date with an unpromising man and her romantic history is played out through the Wonderland characters in a dream which, like Christmas Carol does for Scrooge, helps Alice with her romantic resolve.I'm going to post one before spending the rest of the day cleaning out my Grandpa's place. :(

When I hear this song, from now til eternity, I'll always think of my son at age 4-5 asking to watch the video of Hello Goodbye over and over on my parents' computer (which was like a 9 year old desktop with dial up level speed).I'm going to post one before spending the rest of the day cleaning out my Grandpa's place. :(

Unfortunately, and perhaps this will get me even more credits to use in the future, but I’m not drinking bourbon. After spending all day going through my Grandpa’s stuff, we went to the attorney’s office to talk through process, and while in there someone busted my rental car window and stole my mom’s purse!You started this one with that first sentence so that we couldn't make fun of you for putting this so low. It's ok. I get it.
Meanwhile, it would be at this point in the evening, having shared a find bourbon with Mr. Krista, that I would get up and refill my glass, not because I really needed another one at the moment, but because I needed to stop looking at him drinking my bourbon while saying something so cold and mean. Does he kick puppies too?
Well aren't I just a putz....Unfortunately, and perhaps this will get me even more credits to use in the future, but I’m not drinking bourbon.

(The discussion about “why did you leave that in the car has been postponed indefinitely.)
btw, the attorney’s office is across the street from the police station.
No one will think to use "Fool on the Hill"ETA: Oops, also a list of all of her online usernames and passwords. Now we’re drinking and resetting all her accounts.
Now this is funny.No one will think to use "Fool on the Hill"
Pure Paul. Love it. Would be way way higher for me. (I say having no idea what the other 141 songs are.)142. Hello, Goodbye (single, 1967)
John didn't think much of "Hello Goodbye" and was pushing "I Am the Walrus" as the A-side but was vetoed by Paul and George Martin.I'm going to post one before spending the rest of the day cleaning out my Grandpa's place. :(

A random thought I can’t shake is that it’s going to be You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away. I’m not even sure it’s top 20 for me but it’s like John is speaking to me from beyond. That is of course unless it’s already been eliminated and I missed it. Come on y'all, While Krista is dealing with downtime, what is your prediction for her #1?
Another Top 50 for me. Would be way higher for sure. Those harmonies are heaven-sent.I need a distraction.
141. I'll Be Back (A Hard Day's Night, 1964)
Beatles version: Spotify YouTube
Damn beautiful. Those three-part harmonies...swoon. I love this structure that has no chorus but two different bridges, and a constant change between major and minor. Are the major/minor changes meant to represent the waffling feel of the lyrics, such as:
You know, if you break my heart I'll go
But I'll be back again
'Cause I told you once before goodbye
But I came back again
The song is weird and complex and mesmerizing to me. I'd say 99+% of people who say "I like the Beatles" don't know this song...that just tells you how great they were, for this to be such a forgotten song for them.
Mr. krista: "That’s a weird song to end that album on. Songs like that are probably the reason the Beatles are the most popular band of all time. Those harmonies are so tight. They have to harmonize and end on all those long vowel sounds. Maybe it’s just not in my rock wheelhouse. Oh, you have to harmonize, not just shout and spit."
Suggested cover: This entire endeavor has been worth it to find this cover, which I hadn't previously heard: Elliott Smith Also if you like lady singers, Shawn Colvin
