Your Greatest Song......?

From my 11y.o. son,

Holiday & Jesus of Suburbia, Greenday

Jesus Of Suburbia- Green Day

Zac says " Green Day fan , North supporter , what went wrong when you decided to follow Collingwood "

Zac, Jesus invented birch trees for a reason, & if your Dad is not capable of handing out corporal punishment (or haircuts), then I'll have to wear my spanking trousers to the next North game ( & no "*"!) For all those who are unaware of Zac's cricketing prowess, last weekend he-
made a duck
dropped 3 sitters
run the captain out on 99
took 0/133 of 8 overs.

classic 60's acid taking weed smokin anthem.

"Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye. Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess, Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down."

"Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower. Elementary penguin singing hari krishna. Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe."

Gold! Pure gold!

"Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower. Elementary penguin singing hari krishna. Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe."

Gold! Pure gold!

That particular verse was based on a poem John and his mates used to recite at school: "Yellow matter custard, green slop pie/All mixed together with a dead dog's eye/ Slap it on a butty, 10 ft thick/Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick." The Walrus reference came from the Lewis Carroll poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter".

Pretty well known track considering it was only a B-side.

If you haven't seen the movie, "Magical Mystery Tour", it is well worth a look... "George, George, George, George, whoops, George, George, George..."

From memory - John wrote the lyrics frmo all sorts of places and put them together to mean absolutely nothing - because he waws sick of people asking him what songs were about, and talking about them etc. Could be wrong though.

All true there shags and dissi!
Here is a good link for more detailed meaning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_the_Walrus

Most significant thing to me about this being a B-side to hello goodbye, was that it showed the very different musical directions John and Paul were heading. Hello goodbye was a typical poppy Paul written song and Walrus was an out there psycadelic masterpeice written by John. John will always be 10x the better musician than Paul, he was willing to push the boundrys of music, not stick to what would sell records.
Things started going downhill from there.

#13 Yesterday - THE BEATLES

Thanks for thinking of me, but it's actually one of my less preferred songs. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with it, but I just feel there are so many better songs that don't get recognition. Still, each to his or her own...

[good ol' red and white]

It's too hard to list just a few favorite songs, but here goes in no particular order:

Boys of summer - Don Henley
Father & son - Cat Stevens
Time - Pink Floyd
Fight the power - Public Enemy
Bug powder dust - Bomb the base

What about the songs you love to hate?

[Mr66]

HATE! HATE!!!
Anthing connected to every boy band, teen queen, Minogue(both of the talentless media whores)
Idol rubbish,Goodrem and any other twit who gets more publicity than their artistic talent deserves.
