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

. . . 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.

It was Lennon's subtle way of telling his wife Cynthia about an affair he had whilst on tour in Europe.

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.

You say "Yes", I say "No".

You say "Stop" and I say "Go, go, go".

Oh no.

You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.

I say "High", you say "Low".

You say "Why?" And I say "I don't know".

Oh no.

You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello".

(Hello, goodbye, hello, goodbye. Hello, goodbye.)

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello".

(Hello, goodbye, hello, goodbye. Hello, goodbye. Hello, goodbye.)

Why, why, why, why, why, why, do you

Say "Goodbye, goodbye, bye, bye".

Oh no.

You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello".

You say "Yes", I say "No".

(I say "Yes", but I may mean "No").

You say "Stop", I say "Go, go, go".

(I can stay still it's time to go).

Oh, oh no.

You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello".

I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello-wow, oh. Hello".

Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa.

Hela, heba, helloa. (Hela.) Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa.

Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa. Hela, heba, helloa.
