a-hard-days-night-ringo-8Happy Birthday Skye! Hope it's a good one, although from the sound of your presents it already was.

Not sure if its a beatles moment but the best song to sing in the shower, according to some high brow research people (i forget who exactly), is Love Me Do as its the perfect length to sing whilst in it, helping save water as you get out when you've finished singing. Elvis was at number 2.

 

(I read this in the Scottish Sun newspaper so it must be true – and a completely pointless story.)

If anyone knows Beatles song titles in Spanish they would have got the answer to a question in tonights Only Connect. The songs were, in order; Here, There And Everywhere , When Im Sixty-Four, All You Need Is Love , Hello, Goodbye (in their Spanish translation).

Here, There And Everywhere = Aqui, alla y en todas partes.

When I'm Sixty-Four – Cuando tenga sesenta y cuatro

All You Need Is Love – Todo lo que necesitas es amor.

Hello Goodbye – Hola Adios

 

I'm not sure those are the names used in the albums. I think they stopped translating them in Sgt Pepper or something like that..

Thank you everyone, it was really nice. I thought it was funny that my friends didn't really like the earlier songs, but I know them so well that I was singing along without really thinking about it, and my sister finally noticed and said something like, “Wow, you really do like them!”. What else can you say, but yes? a-hard-days-night-george-4 One friend was happily surprised that they did a cover of Roll Over Beethoven , and that's pretty cool too.

Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time! So much to know!

I don’t think this counts as one, but it still makes me laugh.

I was listening to Free As A Bird on Youtube the other day in the living room and I started singing along, then my sister (Beatles hater >:( ) runs in. She says “NO WAY!” then grabs the lighter on the kitchen counter, comes running back in, lights it, and yells “FREEBIRD!!!!!” at the top of her lungs.

I died laughing on the floor xD

Good Dog Nigel. Arf, Arf, he goes, a merry sight. Our little hairy friend. Arf, Arf, upon the lampost bright, arfing around the bend. Nice dog! Goo boy, waggie tail and beg. Clever Nigel, jump for joy
Because we're putting you to sleep at three of the clock, Nigel.

I know Zig, when I went to go see Journey in September, my sister was like, “Why are you so excited about this concert? Are you going to see The Beatles?”. I looked at her as if I just saw a five year old stab someone.

She doesn’t know the difference between Led Zeppelin and LMFAO

(I would put an annoyed Ringo here, but I’m on an IPad , so I can’t)

So, I played ATMP this morning, and I had to stop at What Is Life . The. In Religion, I was watching Patch Adams, and what song do I hear? What Is Life . (Just for the record, Patch Adams has a great soundtrack, from CSNY (Carry On), to Eric Clapton (Let It Rain , Bell Bottom Blues), to the Rascals (Good Loving).

As if it matters how a man falls down.'

That was similar to my reaction when (on Halloween) I told everyone I was a “Mod, just about to see the Beatles in concert!” I had about five people respond (completely un-sarcastically) with, “Really, you’re seeing the Beatles in concert?” 

*Sigh* I only wish, you don’t have to make it harder on me that I can't ever!!

Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.

People are really stupid sometimes

"Now and then, though, someone does begin to grow differently. Instead of down, his feet grow up toward the sky. But we do our best to discourage awkward things like that."

"What happens to them?" insisted Milo.

"Oddly enough, they often grow ten times the size of everyone else," said Alec thoughtfully, "and I’ve heard that they walk among the stars."

At least my friends know who's dead and who's not. a-hard-days-night-ringo-12

But not knowing the difference between Led Zepplin and LMFAO is just… wow.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8How they could possibly be confused in the first place, I'd like to know.

I was invited to a class project where students created a stand to promote tourism in different countries. I arrived to the stand promoting England and what do I see? 2 huge Beatles posters. a-hard-days-night-john-1a-hard-days-night-paul-5a-hard-days-night-ringo-10a-hard-days-night-george-10

I give them a virtual high five Mith! 😀

Thankfully I saved my school from total chaos by starting a Beatles fan club there (we’re 22 people strong!). 😀
