| 607178 | 2007-11-01 00:50:00 | I read somewhere that later in the Beatles' career they realised that people were not listening to everything they did on their records. For example, in the single "Girl" they sang "tit-tit-tit-tit" in the background and no-one noticed, or if they did, they said nothing. Those were the days when saying "tit" was not nice. There was another song that they sang a nursery rhyme (I think that is what it was) in the background. What was the single? It may have been "Paperback Writer" or "Ticket To Ride." Do you know which single it was and the name of the nursery rhyme? Thanks. Roscoe. |

| 607179 | 2007-11-01 00:59:00 | Careful here....paperback writer's lyrics are not politically correct....on several fronts. There were a lot of exposé lyrics in their music. I'll take on one of the less-nasty ones here. Brian Epstein, their manager was a...er....person of alternate sexual persuasion and also of a religious following that got caught up in a hate war that the Beatles had going against him. He had "lost" a bag of money (which may NOT have been actual money but another product that comes in a bag) while he attended a party and it made it into the song: "Baby, You're A Rich Man". "How does it feel to be one of the 'beautiful people'?" makes reference to his sexual proclivity and there's a lot more to be heard in the retort chorus in the background. "Baby you're a big, fat; Baby you're a big fat; Baby your a big fat...xxx.." best left to the imagination here. All in all...there was a lot of undercurrent in their music..and why not? They were geniuses at their trade. The answer to their undercurrent motives and lyrics is best summed up in their "Let It Be" album. |

| 607183 | 2007-11-01 07:57:00 | In My Life There are places i'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends i still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life i've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When i think of love as something new Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more Though i know i'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know i'll often stop and think about them In my life i love you more In my life i love you more www.flickr.com |

| 607187 | 2007-11-02 00:23:00 | Thanks finphoto. I knew it was something like that. I just could not remember what the song was. Nigel, you are right. "Fish and Finger Pie" is just that. Thanks for the link. that is interesting. With at least 300 songs to their credit, I imagine that they can get away with just about anything. Thanks to you all. Most helpful. Roscoe. |
