Towards the end of Lovely Rita , you can hear John (and George, I believe) in the background saying “Ahhh” as it slowly gets louder. I don’t know, I just love that part

I love that bit too because the rhythm stops being so 2/4 and the song really swings and gets a bit spooky; I’ve never understood why it should feel spooky, but I always get a charge from it.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Don’t know if somebody’s mentioned it already but I love the little piano bit which fades out at the end of Tomorrow Never Knows , it sounds so eery combined with the loops!

Welcome to the BB forum, @OskarMcCartney. No worries, this is the kind of thread where it is perfectly acceptable to post something that has already been posted before. We want to know which song fragments grab you.

I’ve been grabbed by The Beatles so many times … a-hard-days-night-ringo-6 … LOL!

Speaking of spooky ending parts, like Tomorrow Never Knows , the end of Magical Mystery Tour does a similar thing to the end of Lovely Rita , shifting into swing with a reverb-y piano. Not to mention the end of Flying which is very cool and psychedelic, but that’s more loops and I think a Mellotron? Some of my favourite endings of all time.

MMT’s outro is so oddly mystical. Love it.

The Greensleeves segment and John yelling the chorus to She Loves You at the end of All You Need Is Love are amazing too. What a moment. It’s very moving.

I love that bit. I remember when I first noticed that Greensleeves bit, I was elated. Greensleeves is my favourite old folk ballad type song.

Interestingly the official score makes no mention of ritardando usually abbreviated as rit. in the score of We Can Work It Out which is a bit of an oversight I would have thought, but importantly it is also using a 3/4 time in a 4/4 bar, which means two triplets which looks weird and wrong. It would have been simpler to just do two bars of 3/4 perhaps!

The squinchy sound at the very start of “Ram On “, sounds like a plastic plug was pulled suddenly from a high pressure valve, releasing a flow of watery piano arpeggios… (it’s really the sound of a reel-to-reel tape, I think)

A ginger sling with a pineapple heart,

a coffee dessert, yes you know it's good news...

You’ll never know how much I reeeally caaare…. a-hard-days-night-george-2 

That bit cracks me up. I always say that’s George doing his very best Elvis impression, which is adorably, laughably incongruous with his wholly un-Elvis-like voice.

The way George sings the line ‘you know that I need you’ in Long, Long, Long always gets me. It’s the fool-proof* ‘if you weren’t crying already, well, here ya go’ bit. 

*As it happens, I am a representative of the ever-joking, takes-nothing-seriously Fool archetype, which is part of why I am terrible at crying. But some songs are fool-proof…

The very beginning of Mean Mr. Mustard. It’s such a good segue into that song and away from Sun King .

Funny bit at the end of an early Xmas fan club taping has always touched my heart. “…Get a piece of paper and write it down…I haven’t got any paper, Bodgie…Well I’ll say ‘matches’ and you say ‘candles’, that way we’ll BOTH remember…Matches…Candles…Matches…Candles…Matches…Candles…Matches…(fade out)

I wish I could send a link to this sweet little passage.

For well over 40 years, my dear friend Linda & I have signed our Christmas cards to each other Matches…Candles…(so that we’d BOTH remember)
