Another Old Memory

[just strum]

There use to be a soda shop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_shop) across the street from my grade school and after school and on weekends I would slip my quarter into the jukebox and press A5 (don't remember the real number)

All my friends thought I was nuts - I liked the song and well, years later, I guess they were right.



Funny, for some reason it makes me misty eyed.

yea nothing like looking to the past

Ummm...interesting song that I've never heard before. And now, just think, I get to hear it in my head ALL NIGHT LONG.
I'm sure there were no drugs involved with that song either.

Ok Strum, I'll have to check this one out tomorrow when I have a computer WHOSE FRIGGIN SOUND CARD WORKS.

No hostility there folks . . . move along.

Im begining to think youre crazy too...the A side had to have been better.
Dont get me wrong...Im a HUGE Beatles fan, but I dont recall that song either...but its only a lil more catchy than "Number 9".

Dude, I just looked it(the A-side) up ...and you chose that over "Let It Be"? ...and regularly???

Sounds like Jukebox war-fare to me *shrug*

I remember it being played only on the first FM stations and at parties the am stations did not give it much air time

I always thought of it as campy and theatrical kind of a satire on there popularity

A Beatles tune I've never heard before!!! Wow. Not quite on the same level as A Day in the Life, Paperback Writer, Norwegian Wood.

Interesting post.

Thats how I found out the A-side, interesting read...kinda explains to me why I like the McCartney songs better, but I reckon its debateable who wrote what, but to me I think its obvious whos responsible for what.

But for what its worth, George Martin was my favorite Beatle...and hes all over that song(that youd posted) doin his thing.

I always liked it for the humorous take it provided.

Another one I enjoyed.

Strum you're gonna have to do better than that. I've heard that one before.

I am an absolute Beatles fan. Here's an example of the genius of Lennon/McCartney, John writes this song and Paul comes up with an incredible bassline.
