This series will include as many of my all-time
favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak). Now, each one included in each edition will
have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination,
but they will not be numbered. For I
just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others. So, this will not be a countdown, but if you
are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter. Besides, with no countdown, this could go on
forever and ever! Oh, and despite the
fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite
as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make. For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by
nature.

A Day in the Life
The Beatles
I read the news today
Oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of
Lords
I saw a film today
Oh boy
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to
Turn
You
On
Woke up
Got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs
And drank a cup
And looking up
I noticed I was late
Found my coat
And grabbed my hat
Made the bus
In seconds flat
Found my way upstairs
And had a smoke
And somebody spoke
And I went into a dream
Aaaaaah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah aaaah
Aah aah
Aaaaaah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah aaaah
Aah aah
I read the news today
Oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the
Albert Hall
I'd love to
Turn
You
On

No News
Lonestar
She said it's just a woman thing
And pulled out of the drive
I said not to worry
I'm an understandin’ guy
I've heard that when you love someone
You gotta let 'em go
She hollered
When I find myself
You'll be the first to know
Ooh ooh
No news
I learned to do the laundry
Feed the cat
And clean the house
I promised to be patient
While she worked her problems out
When she packed her bags
Her destination wasn't clear
But I sensed that her intentions
Were honest and sincere
Ooh ooh
No news
She could telephone
Tell a friend
Tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon
Send a fax
Write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke
Tap it out in Morse code
I'd prefer a bad excuse
To no news
Her mama's been a little vague
As to her whereabouts
Her sister says
I'm certain your romance is headed south
I don't have a single doubt
That she's still in love
My level of anxiety
Is just a product of
Ooh ooh
No news
She could telephone
Tell a friend
Tell a lie about where she's been
Send a pigeon
Send a fax
Write it on a post-it pad
Send a signal up in smoke
Tap it out in Morse code
I'd prefer a bad excuse
She missed her bus
Missed her plane
Surely this can be explained
Lost her car at the mall
Got locked in a bathroom stall
Playin’ guitar with the band
On the road with Pearl Jam
Buried with the Grateful Dead
Came back as a parrot head
Got derailed
Got de-iced
Offered as a sacrifice
FBI
CIA
If they've seen her
They ain't sayin’
No news
Still no news

And here it comes, the all important question: Are you Beatles or Rolling Stones? Cause that's the only divide amongst men, heee heee heee
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Shadow!!! Oh, and I am much more a Beatle than a Stone, but the Stones do have a few songs I really love. Be assured that I have really missed you.
DeleteWaht is the difference between Country song 'A' and Country song 'B?'
ReplyDeleteNope, I canny tell either!
Thanks for stopping by, my dear Adullamite!!! Methinks your senility has reached critical-mass.
DeleteHow is it that the Beatles seem to burn brighter and brighter with the passing of time. They weren't a group very long but what a huge mark they left.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Stephen!!! Considering just how many songs they wrote and recorded in those few years, it is easy to see why they burnt-out so quickly. In regards to their music seeming to get better and better, I think that has more to do with us finally reaching a higher level of appreciation than them.
DeleteLove this because, I would sing along to them while swinging on my favorite very own swing set while my sister who is now smiling down at me would play her most favorite group over and over on her record player....still hear that music drifting out her window...lovely memory it is.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Karen!!! Wow, that really is very lovely memory!
DeleteHow nice. The beetles were an amazing group.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Lady Lilith!!! Indeed.
DeleteDid the Beatles have any bad songs?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Ann!!! I have heard a few that I did not like as much as others, but none of them were bad to me.
DeleteStrange...I did, I am sure, post a comment on this....maybe I had no news and didn't after all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Lee!!! Maybe the NSA had something to do with it?
DeleteMaybe that is what happened, Jerry! I did write a comment! lol
DeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Lee!!! Nope, there ain't getting much past them.
DeleteIn answer to Ann's question above, 'Revolution 9'. I grew up with the Beatles; each Christmas, my older brother would get a new LP (album). Magical memories. Thank you, JB!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Mike!!! Well, Revolution 9 is one that I am not familiar with. Now, their Revolution will probably be included in this series later on, but I do not recall ever hearing about their Revolution 9 before. I tried to find it on YouTube, but it doesn't seem to be there. Speaking of magical memories, Sgt. Pepper's should be well-represented by the time this series is through.
