1. heehee

:toast:

2. Aw man

Just 'cause you don't like it, don't mean it's shit.

[expatriot]

14. Eggs-actly, man!

Some people just get off on tearing down certain standards just for the sake of being a contrarian, unique and different. Sure, it's okay not to like a "classic" that has been placed in the canon but it is something entirely different to lambast it as "shit," to do so is to challenge its merits as an artistic product rather than simply expressing your lack of preference for it. If you are to challenge a classic's artistic merits, you are free to do so but it is an awfully daunting charge and should therefore be backed by a pretty steel-lined argument.

18. You make it sound all purty

Seriously, you're a good writer. You should do it for a living if you don't already.

[CanuckAmok]

3. check this out, though...when you play it backwards, it says:

ananananananan an an an an...

kinds spooky, ain't it?!

[XemaSab]

5. Isn't that

the opening song on KID A?!?!?!?!?!?

No way!

Trip out!

[WCGreen]

15. Now that, is funny

[bookman]

4. Take a sad song and make it better...

... I've always liked "Hey, Jude"

I guess you had to be there. :)

[mr blur]

16. Indeed you did.

I was "there" and it was, sadly, more fun than "here".

[MyshkinCommaPrince]

6. Jeepers

I always kind of liked it. I guess I like mindless repetition.

Now, the Maynard Ferguson cover of Hey Jude, I can agree that that is shit. (shiver)

[enigmatic]

7. Bing Crosby's is worse

Stuff of a thousand nightmares..

[Trajan]

8. Art Hatred ....

Alive and well in liberal circles ...

[tuvor]

9. So are copycat threads

You must admit, though, one DOES get the point about four minutes before the song finally ends.

[Historic NY]

10. A music friend told me that Paul McCartney wrote this song

about John Lennon's first son Julian which he pretty much ignored. Supposedly it was titled "Hey Jules".

[evlbstrd]

11. That's only the end of the song.

I know, it's the only part McCartney played at Live 8.

Don't like it? Get your own decade.

[tuvor]

12. Note to self: No copycat threads dissing the Beatles.

Yikes.

[evlbstrd]

13. Sorry to be humorless on ya.

I didn't catch the thread you were cattin', so didn't get the joke.

[elperromagico]

17. It's a good singalong BUT

... it does drag on a bit long.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. The Beating You Will Be Receiving Is Richly Deserved

There is absolutely no dissin' of The Beatles allowed. None! End of story, no exceptions. My goons will be at your door within the next few hours. And then we'll see who be laughin'.
The Professor

20. Why do you hate America?

:P

[rustydog]

21. It was written to Julian Lennon to ease the hurt of parents divorce

Jude was used instead of julian.
Hey Jude, don't be afraid,
take a sad song
and make it better.

And any time you feel the pain...
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
Na na na na
na na na na
Hey Jude...


Once you know the context, maybe it doesn't suck so much huh?

[flamingyouth]

22. I hate that song.

That is probably my all-time least favorite song. :argh:

[Lavender Brown]

23. Even McCartney hated the line "the movement you need is on your shoulder"

He said it made him think of a parrot.

[RedCloud]

24. Extremely correct thinking!

The Moody Blues never should have conceded London as the staging ground for the battle of England. Then they would have been royally supported and the rest would be history of a better nature and Lennon would not be so popular and maybe even still alive...

[cheeseit]

25. Indeed it is.

I actually like the beatles but I've always hated that song. It just drones on, and on, and on...

[barb162]

26. wonderful description (a really deep song)
