This thread is for songs you don't like, but that have awesome instrumentation. Maybe I'll even replace “don't like” with “wouldn't put on your iPod.”
Mine are “Hello Goodbye ” and “Here, There, and Everywhere.” Yeah, they're both Paul songs. Go sue me.
What about you guys?
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

Offline I don't know if there's anything I wouldn't put on my ipod…I don't know if I can really think of any. Maybe One After 909 , I don't really like the song, but they sound good playing it. Ummm, maybe I wouldn't put Matchbox on my ipod, that song is awful.

“Birthday ” can't have taken more than 5 minutes total to write – unless they spent a lot of time thinking about how to create the most slapdash excuse for a song they could (not impossible). Lazy, predictable 12-bar structure and blues riffs; the most unimaginative drum break in history; dumb, disconnected lyrics (refrain, middle-8 and half of a verse!) with no attempt to rhyme whatsoever. This song is a mess. But I love it! The energy and enthusiasm of all involved (special mention to Yoko and Pattie!) win me over everytime. This one sounds like they had fun recording it, no matter how badly they were getting along at the time. Plus cool electronic effects. I can never listen to “Birthday ” without immediately wanting to hear it again when it ends. Still a bad song.
(Useful thread topic, btw – I've been considering starting a “Great music, bad lyrics” thread. Maybe I'll just piggyback it onto this one.)

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

Offline I think John has the best quote on the song.
“Birthday was written in the studio. Just made up on the spot. I think Paul wanted to write a song like Happy Birthday Baby, the old Fifties hit. But it was sort of made up in the studio. It was a piece of garbage.”
He's right, it is a piece of garbage because it will always be played on birthdays, I think it's played at every sporting event when they are announcing people's birthdays, but it's still a pretty good song.

Offline That's an inside joke – Mithveaen and MeanMrs.Mustard (and possibly others) never mention that one song by name. It's by John, and it's on Rubber Soul , and it's got “Life” in the title. (And it's not “In My Life “!)

Speaking of “In My Life ,” we watched “Calculus: the Musical” at our school. And they stole the tune of the opening song from “In My Life .” They didn't do the piano bit, though.

Anyway, “The killing song” is not bad at all. And I love the organ in “Birthday “, but is not bad at all too, it could be stupid, one of the jokes in “that album”.
Oh, wait, we can call that album by its name… It's The Beatles (A.K.A. “White Album “).
I'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition.

Hey, I pretty much love or like every track on this thread too! They don't need to be great songs for me to like 'em, as long as they've got other attributes to make them worthwhile. Like “WDWDIITR” is a really half-assed excuse for a song, but Paul's vocals make it worthwhile.
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

I agree that the words to Sun King aren't great – but they sure are funny – at least the story behind them anyway.
I actually quite like Sun King , but it's definitely a case of the music/voices being stronger than the lyrics.
I like the “cuando para mucho mi amore” part.
