[Professor Peedston]

BLASPHEMY!!! *kills jessica* ;)

here's a nice tidy list of my favorites at the moment (they always change):
- Dear Prudence
- Paperback Writer
- I Want You (She's So Heavy)
- Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite
- Taxman

[el_scorcho]

:embarrased: I'm sorry...I tried to like them, I really did.

[jewl*]

It cool.. :)

[jewl*]

:lol:

[el_scorcho]

:stunned: Ok, I take it back! :lol:

[Professor Peedston]

also, as far as yellow submarine is concerned, i think it is both the worst song they ever wrote and the worst movie they ever made. (although i haven't seen let it be, which is more of a documentary anyway but that's supposed to be pretty bad)

[*Justine*]

Have you guys heard the I am Sam soundtrack?

It is awesome. Lots of cool artists covering Beatles songs.

Some of my favs:
Strawberry Fields Forever
Eleanor Rigby
Let it Be
Here Comes the Sun
Across the Universe
I'm Only Sleeping

[fifi]

i love the song the stereophonics do for the film ;)

[*Justine*]

i love the song the stereophonics do for the film ;)

That would be ' Don't Let Me Down.'

I'm listening to it right now... :)

[Professor Peedston]

i like grandaddy's "revolution" and howie day's "help" but i don't really think anybody else did anything for the songs.

if you're going to cover a beatles song, i think you have to do more than just play it adequately, you know?

[Victoria]

Yeah, I agree - I've always had a problem with covers of Beatles songs. Never thought anyone can do them as well as the originals.

[Sweet One]

I love "I will".. :)

[Victoria]

I love "I will".. :)

ME TOO!! That's the one Beatles' song I can play and sing adequately! :smug:

[jewl*]

:stunned: Ok, I take it back! :lol:

:lol: Yay!

[jewl*]

I love "I will".. :)


:o Never heard it!!

[badlydrawngirl]

Here Comes The Sun, its just a lovely song :)

[jewl*]

[quote="Victoria"]Yeah, I agree - I've always had a problem with covers of Beatles songs. Never thought anyone can do them as well as the originals.[/quote

[sky]

Two Of Us
Here Comes The Sun :lol:

[DrPolitik]

what are the lyrics of that song!?

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is a singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on.
Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelers stores,
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on

In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings it with the band

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on

In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones

Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band

Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on
Obladi oblada life goes on bra
La la how the life goes on

And if you want some fun -
Take obladi oblada.

Thanks for this thread, the beatles are amazing!! I love them soo much!
It's so hard to pick just one song, they're all great. I love Honey Pie (You are driving me fraaaantic, set across the Atlaaantic) And "Good Night" is a great Ringo tune. I love the end when he's wispering, that sexy british accent :blush: :wink3: It gets to me every time....

[jewl*]

;)

[artemetus]

Oooohh this is tought choosing just ONE Beatles song. Maybe.. top three?

1. Strawberry Fields Forever
2. Don't Let Me Down
3. A Day In The Life

[About A Girl]

ive never heard of a day in the life...

[artemetus]

You should. It's a really good track and kinda eerie some might say. Had a lot of connections with that whole 'Paul Is Dead' controversy. John sings lead on the track and it was in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. LISTEN TO IT! ;)

[jewl*]

ive never heard of a day in the life...

:stunned: Where have i gone wrong?!?!? :o :D

[jewl*]

You should. It's a really good track and kinda eerie some might say. Had a lot of connections with that whole 'Paul Is Dead' controversy. John sings lead on the track and it was in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. LISTEN TO IT! ;)

Wait are you saying that the :paul is dead: thing is in Sgt.Peppers L.H.C ?..... cause ... i thought that was in strawberry fields.... No
:/ :/ :/ I bury paul?!?!

:angry: Now im more confused than ever!!

*mumbles inconcerently*

a day in the life is also on the blue album 1967- 1969? :confused:

[BlissfullyMuse]

ooooo Here comes the sun is fantastic
`here comes the sun do do do do here comes the sun..its alrite`
luff Kirsten

[cohe223]

I love the Beatles! I dunno if I could pick a favorite song though, hehe. Lately I really like If I Fell. And did any of you hear the cover Coldplay did of Here Comes the Sun? It's actually pretty good, even though my friend (a Beatles fanatic) says he doesnt like it :/

[artemetus]

*mumbles inconcerently*

You're right. Strawberry Fields Forever does have that part in near the end where John Lennon says "Cranberry sauce" and it ends up sounding like he said, "I buried paul". On A Day In the Life, all of the lyrics have connections to the Paul Is Dead myth. If you listen to the lyrics to A Day In the Life, it is strangely close to the facts to the Paul myth.

[jewl*]

Lol! Cranberry sauce?! Peachy!! How did you find that out..

I agree about the lyrics now. I didnt think of it in that way. :idea2: :)

Thanks for UN confusing me :D ;) :confused:

[Victoria]

But John DOESN'T take the lead ALL through A Day In The Life - he does the first bit, and the last bit, but it's Paul in the middle bit where it changes into 'Woke up, got out of bed, ran the comb across my head', etc. Y'know, I never heard that about the Paul is dead myth and Day in the Life :stunned:

A great track, whatever!

[Victoria]

Jewl, listen to I Will..it's a great song!!

Vicky, i can sing that song too!! hahaha..it's a good song to listen to! :)

Yay! But it's not so good to listen to when I'm singing it lol :lol:

[BlissfullyMuse]

coldplays version of here comes the sun is wkd....i luff something and we can work it out....at the moment

[fifi]

omg we can work it out, that song rox!!!! *runs to listen to it!!* ;)

[jewl*]

:)
Life is very short and theres no time, for fussing and fighting my friend... :D :P

Ive completely forgotten about that song!

[coldengrey]

How come no one has mentioned Norwegian Wood? I love that one. Dave Matthews did a partial cover of it at one of the shows I went to. :cool:

[jewl*]

:huh: I dont think ive heard that one....

[coldengrey]

:o You should give it a listen then! It's on Rubber Soul. ;)

[BlissfullyMuse]

Ive completely forgotten about that song!


We Can Work It Out Lyrics:Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Think of what you’re saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s alright.
Think of what I’m saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there’s no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it’s a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.
Life is very short, and there’s no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend.
I have always thought that it’s a crime,
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way,
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.
While you see it your way
There’s a chance that we may fall apart before too long.
We can work it out,
We can work it out.

[BlissfullyMuse]

Norwegian Wood Lyrics:I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, isn’t it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "it’s time for bed".
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown.
So I lit a fire, isn’t it good, norwegian wood.

[BlissfullyMuse]

Here Comes The Sun Lyrics:Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right

Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it’s all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right
It’s all right


my fav song

[jewl*]

I havent even heard a song from that cd maybe!!

[jewl*]

Mah!!

[About A Girl]

mah???????? say what!!! I love here comes the sun!!!!

OK who saw the remake of the parent trap???? some guy redid here comes the sun...its quite good!!!!

[BlissfullyMuse]

lol im afraid not....but i like coldplays version even tho chris changed sum of the lyrics :rolleyes:

[watershedmob]

I like "I Am the Walrus" and "A Day In the Life." I like a lot of the later Beatles songs, not so much the early stuff, but I love "I wanna hold your hand" and "Should Have Known Better."

[Reilly]

I thought I'd bring back a super old topic because I cant be arsed making a new Beatles one.

And from searching thoroughly for THE BEATLES on this forum, I found like 6 threads that had like 10 replies and then just ended. Weird.

Aaanyway I had no idea how much I liked the Beatles until I saw this thread and realised I know every song here.

Today my favourite song is "Across the Universe, wahey.

[Lolly Pop]

HELP

[pharynx]

the beatles is grrrrreat. i love She loves you :heart:

[eline.]

Norwegian Wood is sweet :)

[Ireentje]

Blackbird.

[Reilly]

I was just listening to Norwegian Wood!

Weird, its not a popular Beatles song but it rules none the lessive.

[eline.]

Yeah yeah it rulez :D
Love the lyrics too.. *So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood* :P

[Skinned Alive]

My definite favourite is 'It's All Too Much'

For those who don't know it, if you've seen Yellow Submarine it's the one near the end, before the live action bit with the real Beatles. Anyway, it's a superb song.

Other favourites:

A Day In The Life
Tomorrow Never Knows
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I Am The Walrus
I Want You (She's So Heavy)
Strawberry Fields Forever
Happiness Is A Warm Gun

I'm a sucker for their more surreal, psychedelic stuff.

[MAFE]

ppuuuhhh...ther are a lot of songs!!!

All u need is love, Come togheter, Blackbird, Happiness is a warm gun! etc...

[Alessa]

Getting Better! :D

[girlstar]

My dad's favourite band is The Beatles and said he thought of my name after hearing the song "Julia" :smug:

Love Me Do is one of my favourite songs ever. I also love Help!, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, In My Life, All You Need is Love & A Day in the Life :)

[girlstar]

Oh & I forgot to put down "Something" as well. How could I forget that :embarrased:

[frogbuttgirlie]

this thread is too hard to find an anser to, i love them all!

[Reilly]

My definite favourite is 'It's All Too Much'

Oh hell yes! That song is so crazy. Its far from being my fav but its wonderfully chillful.

Im incredibly jealous of girlstar, being named after a Beatles song (Especially one thats so darned beautiful). I'd live with being called Jude, or hell even Desmond (Ob La Di) because its from a Beatles song. I mean, DESMOND.

Today Im loving "I Feel Fine" and "Ob La Di Ob La Da" (Which is such a GREAT fucking song I cant believe it was voted worst of all time)

[Reilly]

If anyone has Abbey Road, Golden Slumbers followed by Carry that Weight is just the greatest thing in music like ever

[MrsBerry]

Dunno if I answer this thread (i´m too lazy to look for my post..)

I feel fine
Let it be
and all George Harrison ones... Especially Old Brown Shoe and Something.

[Reilly]

Harrison was my favourite, Old Brown Shoe indeed.

Every song of his is absolutely nuts. Within You Without You, Only a Northern Song, Its All Too much (Mentioned earlier) Beatles probably would have taken twice as long to progress if George Harrison wasnt a part of the band.

[MrsBerry]

:cool:

George was the man !

[Skinned Alive]

Every song of his is absolutely nuts. Within You Without You, Only a Northern Song, Its All Too much (Mentioned earlier) Beatles probably would have taken twice as long to progress if George Harrison wasnt a part of the band.

agreed

Lennon is my favourite though. The majority of my favourite Beatles songs are his (Tomorrow Never Knows, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, I Am The Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever)

But Harrison isn't far behind. At the very least, he was leagues ahead of McCartney. Compare 'It's All Too Much' and 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' to 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' and 'Lovely Rita'... need I say more?

[Reilly]

Yes you need.

Because as much as I hate the guy, Paul McCartney was undoubtedly the best songwriter of the group. He basically made the entire White Album by himself (With 5 or 6 songs mainly done by Harrison or Lennon).

McCartney and Lennon were the two songwriters, Harrison was the guy who could experiment and lets face it, his songs were never as instantly catchy (Apart from Something and a few others). Theres too many brilliant McCartney songs (And I'd say about 60-70% of Beatles songs were written by him or had main contribution by him).

But thats my opinion. Lovely Rita is a great song. Maxwells Silver Hammer was McCartney and Lennon, I think its quite a nice song.

[Skinned Alive]

Don't get me wrong - while McCartney is my least favourite songwriter in the Beatles, there are a lot of his songs I love. Songs like 'Hello Goodbye', 'Blackbird', 'Hey Jude', and 'Sgt. Pepper' are some of my favourite Beatles tracks.

I just don't like that poppy, happy, bouncy, sing-along sound that many of his songs had. Songs like 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' (which I'm certain was written by him, at least the bulk of it was I'm sure) 'Carry That Weight', 'Fixing A Hole' and 'Get Back' are songs which I certainly wouldn't have missed. 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' is one of the worst songs I have ever heard in my life.

[frogbuttgirlie]

this thread is pointless-its too difficult!

[Reilly]

Just pick some of your favourites or your favourite today like Im doing!

I dont know too much about Maxwells Silver Hammer but all I do know is the credits read both of them. I like the verses and the chorus is interesting, but if you dont like that bouncy pop, then yeah you may not like a lot of Pauls songs.

But I still feel he was the guy who kept them going as strong as they did. Do you like Ob La Di Ob La Da?

[frogbuttgirlie]

hmm, lady madonna!

[badlydrawngirl]

Harrison was my favourite



mine too

having said that though one of my faves is A Day In The Life
WHAT a fucking song :cool:

[Reilly]

Yes miss! ;)

[Skinned Alive]

I dont know too much about Maxwells Silver Hammer but all I do know is the credits read both of them. I like the verses and the chorus is interesting, but if you dont like that bouncy pop, then yeah you may not like a lot of Pauls songs.

But I still feel he was the guy who kept them going as strong as they did. Do you like Ob La Di Ob La Da?

All of their songs said 'Lennon/McCartney' on them regardless of whichever had written them, because it was in their contract. In reality, the only songs they wrote together properly were the very early ones like 'She Loves You' and 'Ticket To Ride'. Then their songwriting partnership started drifting apart, and eventually they were writing almost independently.

Apparently, Paul was the only one in the band who liked 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'. I couldn't really see John wanting anything to do with it, so it wouldn't surprise me if Paul wrote that by himself.

Anyway - I don't think 'Ob La Di Ob La Da' is as bad as most people would tell you. But it's another one I wouldn't have missed if it hadn't been written.

[Reilly]

Woah, thanks for the educating.

Although I cant be bothered looking for it, I was sure there was a couple songs on some of their later albums that were just McCartney or just Lennon. Meh I just remember seeing it. I'll look tomorow.

I absolutely adore Ob La Di Ob La Da, its possibily my favourite Beatles song. But meh.

[Skinned Alive]

I think there could be some on The White Album or something which are labelled just 'Lennon' or 'McCartney', but I'm not sure.

If you go here:

http://www.iamthebeatles.com/article1038.html

There's a list of all their songs and descriptions for the vast majority of them, which tells you everything you need to know about each one (exactly who wrote it, what it's about etc.)

[Reilly]

Thank you! I'll use that.

No wait, it says the service is unavailable. :huh:

[Pai]

Hey Jude
Let it Be
And I dunno if this counts, but Imagine.

[Reilly]

Sure why not!

"Baby you can drive my car!"

[Skinned Alive]

Thank you! I'll use that.

No wait, it says the service is unavailable. :huh:

It does that sometimes

just keep pressing 'refresh'

[*Justine*]

It would be extremely difficult to narrow it down to one song.

[Reilly]

GOD.. just pick a couple of your favourites, or your favourite for today.

GOD...

[Manders]

well i dont know if urd classify it as a beatles song cuz i think mccartney did it but....hey judy is one of me favs.

[Skinned Alive]

'Hey Jude' was by The Beatles

[willisrn]

penny lane-
that initial bass note is a killer-
(whew look at that post number, baby)

[About A Girl]

dude i totally forgot i wrote this

[Breakfast_of_CHAMPION]

Norwegian Wood and Because are two of my faves but I love so many more such as Yesterday, Eleanor Rigby, Across the Universe, etc.
