A few years ago, my niece was taking part in a youth ballet performance and one of the songs they danced to was “Your Mother Should Know” — and it occurred to me that that song WAS a hit before many of these girls’ mothers were born.

anaceofkidneys; Paul doesn’t OWN any of the Beatle tunes, but he gets song-writing and “performance” royalties from the recordings… Now let’s all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born…

Thanks Keera — there are lots of Beatles Rockband comics around, but the reference to Yoko made this one particularly memorable

Nicole, LOL! And truly one for the geezers (even if the youngsters know about Yoko Ono).

@Carl Nah, Paul McCartney owns all the Beatles songs, at least the ones he wrote. He bought them back from MJ.

Nicole, LOL!

Kay, it’s a Norwegian language show, but you can read a bit about it in English here.

Keera–I’d love to hear that series of “Daily Beatles.” I’m re-reading “Revolution in the Head,” and am enjoying the analysis of each Beatles song, even when I disagree with it. Pick it up. [It’s by Ian McDonald.]

Bill, I’m sure everyone knows The Beatles’ music. It still gets plenty of airplay and the Fab Four also still make the rounds in the media.

I’m no Beatles fan, per se. I knew of them, but while they were breaking up, I was trying to adjust to life in a foreign country. When I got my own musical independence (via Europe’s Radio Luxembourg c. 1971), it was the solo releases of each member that caught my attention.

My current interest in The Beatles is fairly new, thanks in part to a wonderful duo in Norwegian radio who gave us our “Daily Beatles” during the course of a year. One song per day, the how and why of it, both musically and personality-wise. It was a fascinating musical journey, biography and history lesson, and gave me a new appreciation for the lads. And it’s why I’m quite curious about the mono collection now being released.
