Nominate the crap Beatles songs here.
I'll start with McCartney's Michelle - mawkish, tacky and twee - almost as if the spirit of Charles Aznavour had momentarily seized control of the mind of young Paul.

10. Hey! I like Octopus's Garden!
I'd like to be
under the sea
in an octopus's garden
in the shade!

:D

My dad used to play it for me when I was a kid... it's a pretty cute song for kids.

and he was unafraid to acknowledge it.

Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 11:12 AM by chenGOD
I like some U2, but I don't think they're worthy of all the praise and adulation they get (plus they made a huge mistake when they stopped letting Brian Eno/Daniel Lanois produce their albums)....



but that Sioux and the Banshees cover of "Helter Skelter" is really actually very good.

32. Chavez! Report to your re-education center immediately
Helter Skelter is among the best rockers ever.

Anecdote is that Paul wrote it in response to a radio interview he heard with Pete Townshend in which Pete said he had just written the loudest roack song ever.

24. Michelle is another of my favorites from when I was young.
I have few good memories from childhood... maybe that's why I cling so tenaciously to the songs I enjoyed singing with mom.

26. My husband (fiance then) really impressed me with Michelle.
We were taking a leisurely drive through the mountains and that song came on the radio. He sang the entire thing to be in French. I was really impressed. Told him I didn't know he knew French. Said he took it in high school. Come to find out he made up the entire thing. Sounded French to me.

...and "I Want You" is my favorite song on Abbey Road.

40. Ahem: ecoutez moi.
Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow) is testament to Yoko's artistry, in fact if you follow this Google search the third result pretty much sums up the lyrics.

30. "The Long and Winding, and Fatuous Road"
Take one part Macca in his most pedestrian mood ever and add production by a drugged up Phil Specter, and this is the result.

39. I Blame Spector
I think that song would have been a good ballad until Spector puked all that schmaltz on it. Heard the "Let It Be - Naked" version? Very different. (Did i mention i hate Phil Spector?)

41. The lyrics are particularly bad too.
I think two things are needed to help that song. A different producer, and a new lyric sheet.

43. Hello, Goodbye
The most inane lyrics and wretched melody McCartney ever penned. I always took it as mocking their fans -- "they'll slaver over any crap we put out there." If the song comes on, the station gets turned. ...And I love the Fab Four.
