Hmmm.. I love RAIN, and MICHELLE, and DON'T LET ME DOWN and HEY JUDE.

Guess I'm just a a hopeless fan.

I was totally with you until the jerk part. When did John ever let Paul sing his songs? But I agree that Oh Darling could have very easily been a Lennon tune. I think Paul sang it really well, though.

minneapolisgenius said:

yes but not the lyrics. MinneG, I'm honored you remember dearly departed andyman91!

NDRU said:

What about the bridge "I love U, I love U, I love U...". This is not great.

NDRU said:

Of course I remember you.


And well, your sig DID give me a clue. I seriously did think someone stole your avatar at first.

You should feel more honored that I actually read your signature though. I never read sigs.

I like every song listed here, even lesser-knowns like "You Know My Name".

I like most of them, too. That's kind of why I started this thread. Beatle haters & early Beatle haters aside, there's really not that many bad songs to pick on. I don't like "The Long & Winding Road," but it's not exactly a bad song. But this thread (to me) is more about songs like that that aspire to greatness (or at least goodness) and suck, rather than something like "You Know My Name" which is just a joke.

It might be easier to pick bad lines...

in "The Fool On the Hill," Paul sings:

"He never listens to them, he knows that they're the fools."

That's all fine and good, but the next line:

"They don't like him!"

doesn't really add much to the equasion.

I'm not a big big fan of early Beatles, but those aren't the songs people are picking on there.

CinisterCee said:

Yeah, a lot of later classics have been targeted by name, but a couple have given the "I hate all their early music" criticism--I think they said "Yeah Yeah yeah songs"

NDRU said:

I like She loves U (yeah, yeah).
But I think I want to hold your hand is really bad.
I like I"ll Get U (oooo yeah)
But I dislike Please, please, me

Early music was so uneven...

dammme said:

I'll Get You, that's pretty obscure for the Beatles.

dammme said:

"Please Please Me" is one of my absolute favorites by them! It's so upbeat and catchy I just have to sing (or scream at the top of my lungs) along with it.

I like to call it: The Beatles' Oral Sex Song

Last night I said these words to my girl,
I know you never even try, girl,
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.

You don't need me to show the way, love.
Why do I always have to say "love,"
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.

I don't wanna sound complainin',
But you know there's always rain in my heart (in my heart).
I do all the pleasin' with you, it's so hard to reason
With you, whoah yeah, why do you make me blue.

Last night I said these words to my girl,
I know you never even try, girl,
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.

and "Ticket To Ride" by urban legend is about Prostitution?


How do people hear these things?

That's funny. I always thought Please Please Me was kind of racy, too.

NDRU said:

I never thought it was. You dirty dirty orgers used to your nasty Prince lyrics.

CinisterCee said:

What about Come Together?

NDRU said:

"Oh! Darling" is easily one of my favorite vocal performances by Paul. I love how he cuts loose on it.

I think "Don't Let Me Down" is the most underrated Beatles song. It's my absolute favorite.

"I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Eight Days a Week" are my favorite early songs.

bublebath said:

Yes it is ;

The way it goes back to the 1 verse's chords and the harmonies in the choir is pure genius imo

NDRU said:

I am perhaps the most naive person on earth if that song is sexual.

A thought,

"Norwegian Wood"? Clearly sexual.

CinisterCee said:

oh, TOTALLY.

Anx said:

Every complete melodic phrase could be punctuated with a wink and a nudge.

CinisterCee said:

When they (the beatles) went to Germany they found out about these prostitution service where you were given a ticket and you had to show that ticket to the prostitute you wanted to sleep with. Anyway, it was something like that. Hence, ticket to ride.

Urban legend or this bridge is by John and not Macca?
