a-hard-days-night-paul-6 I always though No Reply was freakish, too, I hope John didn't act on it. But knowing John, he probably did...*sigh*(Is there a thread concerning John's obscure songs? Because there are quite many)

 

I wonder if "I'll be on my way" could be considered dated? It's one of my favorites, actually, but it's very Buddy Hollyish, and well, is a song "dated" if it's very easy to figure out when it's written?

I think a song is "dated" if is not something that would gain an audience in the present time...which is not ...]]> Sat, 12 May 2012 23:10:19 +0100 minime on The Beatles' most "dated" songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/the-beatles-most-dated-songs/page-4/#p52441 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/the-beatles-most-dated-songs/page-4/#p52441 a-hard-days-night-paul-6 I always though No Reply was freakish, too, I hope John didn't act on it.

But the ULTIMATE stalker song (fortunately not in the Beatle catalog)? "Every Breath You Take" (I'll be watching you...)

And along those lines, don't listen to the stalker song "Hello Goodbye"
("I don't know why you say good-bye, I say hello")

By the way, as with "Honey Pie, "When I'm 64" etc..., "Your Mother Should Know" sounded dated the moment it was released. It's got that 1920s-1930s sound that McCartney has always liked.

Anyway my most "dated" are "Run For your Life" (lyrics) "Little Child" (sounds kind of pedo-themed these days) and my least fav from Paul "Your Mother Should Know"...

Lyric-wise, I would say Do You Want to Know a Secret or I Saw Her Standing There.

I'm surprised no one else mentioned it."

 

"Honey Pie" was dated the minute it was released!

It's in the style of the 1920's - 1930's....

You could say the same of "Your Mother Should Know," "When I'm 64" ...
