Here's a group that had some songs on the charts a few decades back. One of my favorite Beatles songs, written in the main by John Winston Lennon, RIP and gone way too soon, and performed in Paris in 1965.
Thanks doug for sharing this rare vid. It is not one of the usual Beatles vids that is dragged out. The image on this vid is how a lot of fans remember them. I used to love the cartoons that were made from this era. I know they never used the real voices but I loved the way the toon ringo laughed. I even nick named one of my kids George cause he kinda looks like the toon version of George. I Would say I am a bit of a fan. Those early songs always seem to be happy songs even Looser and Elenor Rigby... Ok Thanks again >>> cheers Rod
Fred--I've been where you're at, trust me. And I hope you have much better days in the near future.
Rod--I liked the Beatles cartoon series as well. This song was on the radio at work today and it just felt so good hearing it again i wanted to share it.
Mine as well. But judging by the screams of delight when he first sang, it seems the young French ladies were more attracted to Paul. (Excuse me, Sir Paul.)
You said it, Ian. It's soberingthat you'd think by 1965 John Lennon was a guy on top of the world, but he still felt this way inside--like so many do sometimes. Listen to "Working Class Hero" again sometime--he nails that sense of normal despondency. He also knew elation, of course. I think that's why his stuff doesn't get old.
After today I feel like a loser. It has nothing to do with love. Thank you for reminding me what a loser I am . I hope you had a much better day

My best to you both, doug
no doubt a great tune...good live version. Some of the best Beatle tunes are their flip side songs.
ReplyDeleteLennon was by my favorite Beatle
ReplyDeleteMine too. Judging by the way the French girls are screaming in the video, I would hazard a guess they found Paul more to their liking.
