Back Street Blue Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Well the entire song is about an adulterous affair so it does really... genuinely never picked up on that..thought it was arty farty surealism my excuse is that the expression "wood" didn't have that interpretation in deepest Lancashire in those days
Guest MBarrett Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 . . . pretty sure there were no Motown covers on Please Please Me. That's correct. Twist & Shout was on the Please Please Me LP. Strongly associated with the Isleys, but in their pre-Motown era. MB
Pete S Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 genuinely never picked up on that..thought it was arty farty surealism my excuse is that the expression "wood" didn't have that interpretation in deepest Lancashire in those days It was Lennon's subtle way of telling his wife Cynthia about an affair he had whilst on tour in Europe. 1
Geordiejohnson Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Hey Jocko. Get off your high horse. I only commented that I respect his songwriting skills, which I do. I actually prefer Harrison as a songwriter to be honest (thinking of 'Something' or 'I'm only Sleeping) But I digress, I'm no Beatlephile, I just made a generic comment. As of my actually quoted examples, I used Leiber & Stoller & Gamble & Huff, which I stand by. As for the writers you quoted, so what? we could sit here all day listing them, I not say they aren't any better, but success wise they don't touch the ones I quoted (and thats the context of my original post,) by a country mile. Freebasing is for general & non soul comment as far as I know, so just what's your problem? Take your blinkers off. Aid. hats off for him putting some £s back to the company that made him a few boomshackalackers with his covers .I must admit ive never found anything by the beatles that i like nor any of my friends, i do find Mr Mccartney twee and slimey to say the least he has a writing style i cringe for, as for song writing skills of the beatles i think this gives jimmys place and stanley mitchell a run for there money LOL my kids could have done better You say "Yes", I say "No".
