The Best Beatles Song (retry)

Wormsie · 11-28-2003, 10:15 PM

Yes, what a range of choices I gave you... No, actually, these are the only very experimental Beatles songs I happen to remember at the moment. So what is the best WEIRD Beatles song, of these four.

mycroft · 11-28-2003, 10:33 PM

Hmm...
You didn't include their Indian influence stuff with Sitars and Tablas and Shehnais..like on The Inner Light , Within you,Without you,Love to you. and maybe Norwegian Wood . Or do you not consider these as experimental ?

Starflux · 11-28-2003, 10:39 PM

I unfortunately don't know any of those songs. But I do like a couple of Beatles songs, just none of these

jaf · 11-29-2003, 12:50 AM

Something.

Garyos · 11-29-2003, 03:24 AM

Number NINE.... Number NINE..... Number NINE....

SamandMax · 11-29-2003, 03:55 AM

I like Wild Honey Pie. It's the greatest song I've heard with the word pie in the title.

Henke · 11-29-2003, 06:27 AM

My favourite songs by the Beatles are Revolution and Eleanor Rigby.

syntheticgerbil · 11-29-2003, 07:20 PM

I would have picked the one that goes "I am the eggman, I am the walrus" and maybe the one that goes "michelle, my bell" even though I mostly despise the Beatles.
OKAY!

This seems to me a rather odd poll... Why didn't you even include an "other" option? What's interesting about determining people's favorite of those specific four songs?

*Jake* · 11-29-2003, 09:26 PM

Much like including "Monkey Island 5" in any poll on Mixnmojo, adding "other" to this poll would so severely skew the results that it's not really worth it. Just assume that every registered voter on the forums who hasnt voted in this poll would have selected "other."

Not really.

Because those songs are the most experimental Beatles songs, at least to my knowledge. I thought I had covered the most important ones...

Zygomaticus · 11-30-2003, 06:26 AM

I haven't heard any of these songs.

Either way, my favorite Beatle's song is "Let it Be"

Oh well... 8-)

BacardiJim · 11-30-2003, 10:06 AM

Here Comes the Sun
You Never Give Me Your Money/Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam
Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End
Come Together
(Yes, Abbey Road is my all-time fave Beatles album)
Norweigan Wood
Let It Be
Get Back
Dear Prudence
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Penny Lane
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
A Day in the Life

All better than any of the four listed songs, IMHO.

And shouldn't Glass Onion be included as an "experimental" song?

Wormsie · 11-30-2003, 09:20 PM

Screw you.

doughy white · 11-30-2003, 11:21 PM

I can't take any of those songs seriously into account.
IMAGINE it is for me.

And here is a fairly unknown version of Eleanor Rigby (for Henke

)

Eleanor Rigby
Sits at the keyboard
And waits for a line on the screen
Lives in a dream
Waits for a signal
Finding some code
That will make the machine do some more.
What is it for?

All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Guru MacKenzie
Typing the lines of a program that no one will run;
Isn't it fun?
Look at him working,
Munching some chips as he waits for the code to compile;
It takes a while...

All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Eleanor Rigby
Crashes the system and loses 6 hours of work;
Feels like a jerk.
Guru MacKenzie
Wiping the crumbs off the keys as he types in the code;
Nothing will load.

All the lonely users, where do they all come from?
All the lonely users, why does it take so long?

Go figure!

Zanthia · 12-01-2003, 03:18 AM

None of those. I am conservative, I know.

I just saw a face
Roll over Bethoven
Revolution
We can work it out
I am a looser
Come together

Depends on my mood...
