#1 is
THIS SONG.
#2 is
THIS SONG.
#3 is
THIS SONG. (BTW- Ringo turned 80 last week.)
#4
THIS SONG (although writing credit goes to Mr. Richard Penniman.)
#5
THIS SONG. (words by Charles Berry.)
#6
is this tune. (Butchered later by the Flying Lizards IMHO.)
#7 Wow! This one got me... had to
LOOK IT UP. Carl Perkins was such a great guitarist and the Lads certainly did justice to this tune.
#8 is another great Beatle cover of the
Chuck Berry song and as sacrilege it is to say, I like the
ELO version better.
#9 Wow, got me again! I would have most certainly said
SONG "A" until I listened to it,,,, I had
Search the correct answer on the web. (I am not worthy as a Beatles fan for missing this one.)
#10 OK... got
THIS ONE so I am hopefully still in good graces. The version linked is George with friends Dave Edmunds and Carl Perkins. George was so underrated. Anyone remember the SNL skit with Father Guido Sarducci trying to entice the Beatles to get back together?
#11 So I thought
THE ANSWER TO THIS SONG was written by Little Richard, it is actually a McCartney song, but really exemplifies the influence he had on Paul.
#12. Which one do you prefer? The
45 single version or the
1 VERSION from their self-titled album?
#13 It's really good to
get BACK into these songs again (see what I did there
#14. Paul wrote
THIS SONG to be "...the most raucous vocal, the loudest drums..." in response to the Who's "I Can See for Miles" when Pete said it was "...the loudest, rawest, dirtiest song the Who had ever recorded." The Beatles song is considered by some to be the (grand)father of the Heavy metal style and genre. This one is the
Second Version / Take 17. Compare it to the
VERY bluesy First Version / Take 2.
#15
What a great horn section!
#16 Perhaps the
MOST OPTIMISTC SONG EVER WRITTEN. Love the studio takes that are now available on the web.
#17
MY All-Time Favorite Beatles/ Harrison Song. Another studio take version. The final cut with Eric Clapton playing slide goes unaccredited on the album due to artist contract laws at he time.
#18. I missed a couple and had to look them up. I am sure other will do better
Don't Me Down on that
Billy Preston on keyboards.
#19.
Desmond and Molly seem like good folks. Another studio take linked.
#20.
(Take 12)
Good quiz! I'll admit I was toe-tapping singing the songs in my head many, many times on some to eventually get to the title. I was fortunate enough to inherit all the 'Stones and Beatles albums from my older siblings.
Their self-titled album is absolutely amazing. Took me years to eventually appreciate Revolution 9, but now I get it. The Beatles could never had been as creative as they were in the studio if it had not been for George Martin... he was an absolute musical genius to bring out the talent of the Lads. I hope to God that the self-titles album does not fall victim to the cancel-culture, lest someone is offended by it's alias.
I will toss one back attcha' ... who actually was Jude in the song
Hey Jude and why was it written?
Also, for the true Beatles fan if you have not seen it, do watch
Paul McCartney: Chaos and Creation At Abbey Road. It's an hour long but worth it. It is an intimate setting hosted by Paul coming back to Abbey Road studios. What I wouldn't have given to be in that audience... oh, my!
