My initial thought is “When I Get Home ” just because of the “Love you till the cows come home” line. I’m sure there are worse songs/lines, but that one stands out to me.

I’ve always found that line (“Love you till the cows come home”) to be quiet warmly for some reason. A major likability factor for When I Get Home is the use of the word “trivialities”, it sounds wonderful and i don’t remember ever coming across it in any other song, tho could be wrong. WIGH is pure filler yet i find to be great filler (something the Beatles were brilliant at).

I know I’m not in the majority on this…but I love “When I Get Home “. I always think of it as John’s song for Cynthia…not that it has ever been said! We use “till the cows come home” in regular conversation in these parts, so I love that line. I know it is “filler”, I’ve read what John said about it specifically, but I love the song. Good points, MMM!

Seems to me that “Love you till the cows come home” is a reference back to the old blues song “Milk Cow Blues”, covered by Elvis, that included the line, “’til my milk cow come home”. Also recorded as “Milk Calf Blues” with “calf” replacing “cow” in the lyric.

Loving this Western theme!
BOT: Count me among those who really like this song. Big surprise, right? I can’t think of any I would put on this list.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Offline I love so many of their songs, but I’d say the ones I barely listen to are Rocky Raccoon , Dig It , and Yes It Is . I’m not a fan of Helter Skelter either, or Revolution 9 . I think Mr. Moonlight is really funny. I don’t know why but the beginning, “Mistaaaaaaaah Moonlight” just makes me giggle, so I listen to it for a little and then skip it when I’ve had a laugh.

Funny enough, I like the rest of the song well enough. The middle section just seems a bit clumsy on an otherwise solid album. I originally thought I’d end up picking something from Beatles For Sale , but I listened to that album today at work and nothing stood out that much. This is a tougher question than I’d anticipated! Some days I can’t sit through another listen of “The Long And Winding Road ” (too much Phil Spector, lol), and some days I just get into a groove with the entirety of Let It Be and listen to it from start to finish, not quite realizing I’ve reached the end. I’ll admit that even though I sometimes skip Revolution 9 , I love it. I guess there isn’t really a single song I can say I dislike… only songs that I may not be in the mood for on a particular day.

I don’t like Rocky Raccoon that much either. I’ve changed my mind about Yes It Is a while ago and now I really love it. It just has that something.
I hardly ever listen to When I get home, don’t even know why. It’s not that I don’t like it.

With regards to “When I Get Home ,” I don’t really have any strong feelings toward it. Sometimes I’ll listen to it when it comes up on shuffle, but sometimes I’ll skip.
Still not a big fan of “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?” As a sex-repulsed ace, the song is closer than I’m comfortable to just sexual undertones.
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

Yeah, that song is a really cool filler, even with that hurried lyric but I’ll agree, it has some interesting lyrics too (”trivialities” like mmm said)

Applescruff made a brilliant observation when he said something along the lines of, that he doesn’t like, “Love Me Do ‘ playing in the background when he’s with friends as he doesn’t feel it’s a good representation of Beatles’ music”
We will argue until hell freezes, over our personal tastes………..But on the basis of Applescruff’s definition the ‘worst song’ I would like to be playing in the background as an ‘introduction’ into the vast Beatles legacy is, (whatever the OP dictates) ‘Rev 9’
The OP cleverly knew if he failed to exclude ‘Rev 9’ it would have meant for a very short thread.

Offline Revolution 9 isn’t a song, its a sound collage, so shouldn’t be an opinion.

Offline By album, including covers, but not including Revolution No. 9 (not that I necessarily can’t stand these songs, but they’re the ones I usually skip when I’m listening to an album):
- Chains – some covers are good, this one … nope
- A Taste Of Honey – do-do-do-doooo, do-do-do-DON’T
With the Beatles
- Little Child – the harmonica irritates me, and the song goes nowhere
- I Wanna Be Your Man – “good enough for the Stones” means probably not good enough for the Beatles
- I’m A Loser – ditch the harmonica already
- Mr. Moonlight – I hope that organ died in a grease fire
- Honey Don’t – the “Rockabilly” thing just isn’t my bag
- Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby – see above
Help !
- You Like Me Too Much – I think the “I really do” line turned me off forever
- Tell Me What You See – that electric piano ruins it, as does the cop-out “chorus”
- Dizzy Miss Lizzy – the production probably ruined this one for me, the constant guitar refrains are too harsh
- Think For Yourself – getting better, George, but not quite there yet
- The Word – “it’s so fine, it’s sunshine, sorry we phoned this one in”
- What Goes On – please, no more country music
- Wait – the bridge starts to go to interesting places, but the rest of the song just drones
- She’s Leaving Home – very pretty, and also very boring. I skip this one 50% of the time.
- Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! – the circus-style trip out just turns me off for some reason
- Flying – a three-chord song with no words, AND you included a cheesy organ? Thanks, I’ll pass.
- Blue Jay Way – what … the … hell?
The Beatles (White Album )
- The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill – auto-skip for Yoko’s presence
- Rocky Raccoon – fun story, but too repetitive and too long
- Don’t Pass Me By – NO MORE COUNTRY!
- Yer Blues – the blues genre is inherently repetitive and boring unless you really smoke those guitar solos, and … they didn’t
- Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey – that STUPID clanging bell!
- Savoy Truffle – George wrote a song based on the contents of a box of chocolates, and guess what? It shows.
- Only A Northern Song – I know George purposefully phone this one in, so I don’t blame him. But it’s a terrible song.
- I Want You (She’s So Heavy) – again, the Beatles don’t do the blues genre well
Let it Be
- I Me Mine – this is a half-baked concept. It’s like George never finished the idea.
- Dig It – ugh.
- One After 909 – there’s a reason they held onto this song for a decade and never recorded it until they ran out of ideas.
Past Masters , Vol 1
- Love Me Do – a nice first attempt, but ultimately a forgettable song
- Thank You Girl – the way that you do (way that you do) … a very uninspired song. Sounds like “hey, we wrote a good song, the public wants more, let’s grind one out!”
- Slow Down – just a boring cover.
- Matchbox – another boring cover.
- Bad Boy – had potential. But as Tim Riley once said, by this point the boys were writing better songs than they were covering, so … why bother?
Past Masters , Vol 2
- The Inner Light – who made the choice to put a howling cat on this record?
- The Ballad Of John And Yoko – Simon Leng called this “a self-server travelogue,” and he was right
- Old Brown Shoe – what genre is this song trying to be? It can’t decide, so I’m going to skip it.
Not a bit like Cagney.
