In “Hey Jude “, where Paul is cycling back I think the 4th time to repeat the same melody (with a few new wordings, of course), right after the John-&-Paul harmonizing “Na na na na na, na na na naaaaaaa”) — Paul introduces a cool variant for how to sing the word “Jude”.

Here’s a Tube chop of it (only a few seconds).

Faded flowers, wait in a jar, till the evening is complete... complete... complete... complete...

@Funny Paper Glad you re-discovered Tube Chop – perfect for this thread.

I see what you mean: “Juuuuuuude” is stretched out into 5 notes.

For the first time today, I heard the “yes” in the background at about 1:30/1:31 in The Night Before . I was wearing headphones listening to my mp3 player while walking the dog down by the lake.

Is that a sign to vote “yes”? I now remember John going up the ladder and reading “yes”.

Oh, that’s right. Today is the vote. I wonder what John would have thought about it all.

Owwww, how could you not hear it before? It’s my favorite part of the song. It flows so nice, “Yesssssss…”. I never miss to say it.

Considering the theme of the song @Ahhh Girl’s probably been too busy day-dreaming of spending the night with Paul to hear anything after the first verse.a-hard-days-night-paul-7 Really we should be congratulating her in hearing the rest of the song after all this time.a-hard-days-night-paul-5 

So here is Paul with a flower for you AG.

In case you don’t know my story, @StrawberryWalrus, I will share it with you here. Before 26 May 2013, I didn’t know The Beatles existed. In 15 months I have listened to all The Beatles albums, most every one of their post-Beatles albums, demos/takes from the Purple Chick bootlegs, parts of the Get Back sessions, outtakes from John’s and Paul’s recording sessions, songs they wrote and gave away, covers of their songs, live performances, (I’m getting tired of listing now but I’ll throw in interviews too)…it all still so jumbly in my mind. I jumped right into the deep end when I found them. Cannonball!!! I’m quite overwhelmed. I’m sure I have soooooo many more things in their musical output that will hit me as time goes by. At least I hope so. Seasoned, multi-decade listeners say they still have things hit them they hadn’t paid attention to before. That sounds hopeful to me :-)

You don’t have to say anything, I’ve started discovering Beatles this very year, I think. I am partially done repeating the regular albums to oblivion and now I’m onto Anthology 1 :P

Most of the time Paul and even John seem to kind of disguise their local Liverpuddlian accents while singing their songs (a habit probably many British rockers cultivate — perhaps they thought the American accent was “cool” for rock & roll; and perhaps Mick Jagger is the gold standard of this phenomenon, but also consider, for example, Van Morrison, an Irishman, but when singing his rock songs, as American-sounding as apple pie (if one could hear apple pie…), and there are so many other names one could adduce).

I like it how in only one line, really, of Hey Jude , Paul kind of relaxes into a Liverpuddlian way of sounding, when he sings:

…by making his world a little colder…

— and the accent is that much more noticeable since the immediately preceding phrase (And well you know that it’s a fool, who plays it cool…) sounds like “vanilla American” by comparison.

Here’s a Tube Chop for those who want a ready reminder.

I doubt there are many British Rock groups that don’t sound American.  Can you think of any?

“I’m Henry the eight, I am” by Paul Revere is probably one that does sound British

Actually, we aren’t. a-hard-days-night-george-2a-hard-days-night-ringo-6a-hard-days-night-john-4paul-mccartney I think the Fifty Shades thread is a bit more appropriate for that. I’ve never really thought of it that way, though.

EDIT: But at least you used proper terminology, kinda.a-hard-days-night-george-3

 

I love when Paul and John change their backing lyric in Devil In Her Heart (I realize it’s a cover, but I still think it’s cool.) as if they’re talking to George. “Don’t take chances…”

The little drum fill in Not A Second Time right after the title is sung and after the piano solo that plays the melody of the verse.

I just listened to With the Beatles in full for the first time in a while, and I enjoyed it more than I’d expected to. I still really don’t care for Little Child , but Devil In Her Heart and Not A Second Time have REALLY grown on me (not just for those song fragments though…)

DEFINITELY sounds British …. but it’s by Herman’s Hermits. Paul Revere and the Raiders were Americans through and through (their big hit was “Kicks” – a classic guitar lick. I’d post a youtube link but then we’d really be digressing.)

And I thought you had been listening to them for decades, just like me, @Ahhh Girl! How can one grow up in the 20th century not knowing about the Beatles? (No offense intended). I’m curious, what did you listen to before?

There are plenty, though here is probably not the place to discuss it. Perhaps in the mid-sixties a lot of groups tried to sound American, but thankfully we moved on from that. I can think of more bands that sound British than bands that are but try and sound otherwise.

Hello @meanmistermustard. I’m doing okay, thanks. Procrastinating, at the moment. There are days that you just don’t feel like doing anything.
