The Beatles Bible - Topic: Mr. Moonlight http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/mr-moonlight/ Simple:Press Version 5.2.6 Till There Was You on Mr. Moonlight http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/mr-moonlight/#p37727 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/mr-moonlight/#p37727 I think the beginning really shows how well John can sing. It's a big stretch, and it may have hurt like hell afterword, but I think it was worth it. The song is better than the original in it's own way (well, most likely if it's more popular. I haven't heard the original). I like the song. I don't really like the fact that the album is mostly covers, but I still like the way they performed them.

I really like Beatles For Sale (despite their reverting back to doing covers). And even though I like Mr. Moonlight, I have to agree the album would have been better with Leave My Kitten Alone.

*goes off to alter history...OK, just my iPod*

I asked if there were any Beatles songs where he wished he'd done something different. His response was essentially "perish the thought", but I was really wondering if Leave My Kitten Alone would have been a better choice on BFS than Mr Moonlight. I definitely think it would have been.

To be honest it is probably my least favorite Beatle song out there. (I've grown more tolerant of Revolution 9 lately, so it's not at the bottom any more.)  I do think the beginning is pretty decent, but after that it quickly goes down hill. For me what I don't like is that the actual playing of the instruments, seems very lackluster, like they're hardly trying at all. And the vocals aren't John's best either or the harmonies. (Which there are very few of.

I had to laugh at Von's response because I always sing along with an overblown parody of John's overblown seriousness.

It really is a fun song to sing. Oncoming traffic must get a laugh out of me when they see me playing air Hammond on the dashboard of my car.
