Similar to how Mexican Coca-Cola is commonly imported into America, American Coke has been imported into New Zealand since at least 2011. The reason for this is because the prices of New Zealand Coca-Cola (with sugar) has risen and, in certain situations, it is cheaper to use/buy imported American Coca-Cola (with high fructose corn syrup).

The first airplane was partially made of bicycle parts, particularly chains and chainrings, because Orville and Wilbur Wright were bicycle mechanics prior to being the first people to fly.

Wow… that must have slipped my mind, because I’m a Schoolhouse Rock fan and I know for a fact that I’ve seen Mother Necessity many, many times. To be fair, it’s probably been a while.

@Ahhh Girl you posted the same exact thing twice. Since you’re a mod, it’ll be very easy for you to fix it, just delete one of the posts.

Oh, I hadn’t noticed. My phone gave the message that it couldn’t reach the BB when I first tried to save it so I re-did it, but both post went through. I deleted one of them.

2 things regarding The Beatles:

1. On Good Morning Good Morning , John sings during the solo. No joke, if you listen to the isolated drum track from The Beatles Rock Band, you can hear him sing the lyrics to the 3rd verse during the solo very quietly, implying that there was a guide vocal on the backing track.

2. On You’re Going To Lose That Girl , there are 3 guitar parts and all 3 of them are electric. I always thought that there was an acoustic guitar in there but no, just 3 electric guitars, it’s like a mother who wants a daughter but instead got 3 sons, here’s a breakdown of each guitar part:

Guitar 1:

This guitar is brightly strumming chords. My guess is that this is John playing a Fender because I know that John played his Fender a lot during the Help ! sessions, as he also played it on Another Girl , Ticket To Ride , Tell Me What You See , and If You’ve Got Trouble and also the guitar sounds a lot like a Fender.

Guitar 2:

This guitar is hitting what seems to be power chords. My guess is that this is George playing a Gretsch because it doesn’t sound as bright as the other guitar and during the Help ! sessions, George often used his Gretsch unless if it was for a solo, which he then would switch to his Fender.

Guitar 3:

This guitar is the solo overdub, done by George, most likely with him using his Fender because during the Help ! sessions he liked to record his solos with his Fender.

One last one for you guys.

3. Mal and Neil are in Help ! during the recording scene where The Beatles mime to You’re Going To Lose That Girl . Hi Mal, hi Neil.

@Joe, can you check the settings to see if there is a reason why Necko can’t edit his posts?

12+1 = 11+2 = 13, and “twelve plus one” is an anagram of “eleven plus two”…

How mysterious…

Comfortably Numb is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song that’s not from The Dark Side Of The Moon although to be fair, I only know 5 of their songs that aren’t from that classic album. That solo is pretty good too, although I prefer the solo to Time, mainly because I love that album with the prism on the cover.

Thinking about it, can you play the solos to Time and Money.
