Beattles - YAY!

[the SovieT]

Back in the USSR
Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it's good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Show me round your snow peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm.
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.


Aint they tupper? :)

[CopperGoat]

You should listen to John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" and another song called "lucy In the sky with diamonds"

[Ironfist]

But you gotta look under BEATLES, not BEATTLES >:)

lp,
Ironfist

[the SovieT]

i know that coppergoat..
i jsut find this lyric funny and somewhat "shocking" :D

[Hegemonicretribution]

Iron fist is you avatar off the made in heaven album, just looks like it, if so I am impressed I love that album.

[the SovieT]

yea Iron is a bg Queens lunatic... :P

[Hegemonicretribution]

I am not alone.

[Funkier Monk]

Mmm queen..


I reeally hate the Beatles though and Elvis. Everyone says, ooh, best music ever and im like uh-uh

(sorry, trying to sound like an american school girl becauseim on morhpine)

[Dirty Commie]

Finally, the Beatles thread, as I am listening to "Imagine". They were great. But does their name come from the insect or the fact they were beatniks?? I thinks it's the beatnik idea.

[the SovieT]

"Imagine" isnt a beattles song :P

[Hegemonicretribution]

Then again a lot of the best work came from the solo carreers, except Ringo's.

[Rastafari]

BEATles
BEAT of music+les=catchy music-insect combination

[Dirty Commie]

I never thought of that, that makes alot of sense.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I magine is by far Lenon's greatest song, but the beatles are better.
The long and winding road, a hard day's night, day tripper, norwegian wood, help, let it be, come together, the end, many, many others

The beatles are the world's graetest band...ever

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

[schumi]

the beatles rule!!

did anyone see the DVD of paul mcarthy "back in the USA"???

[Hegemonicretribution]

As much as I like and appreciate it, a lot of the phenomenom has to do with the hysteria and hype around them, which is a shame because their music make sense in a chrystal clear sort of way that rarely occurs.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

The Long and Winding Road

The long and winding road that leads to your door,
Will never disappear, I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here, leads me to your door.
The wild and windy night that the rain washed away,
Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.
Why leave me standing here, let me know the way.
Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried,
Anyway you’ll never know the many ways I’ve tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long and winding road,
You left me standing here a long, long time ago.
Don’t leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.
Da da, da da –

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is a light that shines on me,
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

[Rastafari]

Beatles
Piggies


Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies,
Life is getting worse;
Always having dirt to
Play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to
Play around in.

In their styes with all their backing,
They don't care
What goes on around.
In their eyes there's something lacking.
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives.
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives.
Clutching forks and knives to
Eat their bacon.



HAHA
Now all we need is "Helter Skelter"

[honest intellectual]

Back in The USSR is basically a pisstake/ tribute of California Girls by the Beach Boys

Well, he did some fine work doing the voices for Thomas The Tank Engine

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Helter Skelter

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.
Do you, don’t you want me to love you.
I’m coming down fast but I’m miles above you.
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer.
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer.
Helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter.
Will you, won’t you want me to make you.
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you.
Tell me tell me tell me the answer.
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer.
Look out helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out, cause here she comes.
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again.
Well do you, don’t you want me to love you.
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you.
Tell me tell me tell me the answer.
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer.
Look out helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out helter skelter
She’s coming down fast
Yes she is yes she is.


HI, how is Back in the USSR a pisstake of California Girls?

Piggies, good song. I think it makes a referrence to the oppresion suffered by the working class (the little piggies) under teh rule of the ruling class ( the bigger piggies)

[honest intellectual]

Victorcommie -

California Girls:
Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The Midwest farmer's daughters
Really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
... and so forth in such a vein..

Back in the USSR:
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my mind.

See?
