I’ve been watching this mad piece of hilarity over and over:

Thanks SG. As someone who lived through the times that produced horrid, horrid video – the (gulp) 1980’s (
) I really appreciate your dredging up that slop. I remember the first time I saw that on MTV – when they used to play music – my jaw dropped in disbelief through the floor, through the concrete foundation and several miles under the Earth. I just recently got over it. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Don’t Hang Up (a collaboration between Ringo and Chrissie Hynde) features references to …Me and My Monkey, Ticket To Ride and I Am The Walrus in the first few lines:
With my inside outside
Looking for a free ride
Waiting for the band to come
It also sounds like something from 1967/early 68 era Beatles too!

Offline Liverpool’s Boo Radleys made this namecheck on the closing track, The White Noise Revisited, of the magnificent 1993 album Giant Steps:
Hey, what’s that noise?
Do you remember?
Hey, what’s that noise?
Do you remember?Kill yourself at work for what seems nothing at all
Then you go home and you cry and you feel so
Very small, so you listen to the Beatles and relax and close your eyes
And you feel it running through you
Feel the hate well up insideHey, what’s that noise?
Do you remember?
Hey, what’s that noise?
Do you remember?Fashioned by the blade of a world that does not care
Feeling so removed, drifting through stealing air then
Pause and think about it, try to move and shift the
Pain, but it’s there, you feel it choking and you
Scream and feel aliveHey, what’s that noise?
Do you remember?
Hey! what’s that noise?
Do you remember?

Offline Roxy Music’s “Remake/Remodel.” 2/3 of the way through the song they do an instrumental break where the instruments (drums, bass, synth, sax, guitar, piano) take turns with mini “solos” (a la “The End “). The bass solo is the “Day Tripper ” riff.

Great band…I always liked how they even had the cover photo taken on top of a roof for that extra bit of homage.

I’m interested to know what you think The Beatles reference is in that song, @SpecialCup, as I can’t see any?
Anyway, I come here with a biggie that I didn’t know existed until tonight. In 1971, Wilfrid Brambell (who played Paul’s Grandfather in A Hard Day’s Night ) released a single about the UK’s change to decimal money called The Decimal Song. It’s b-side was a song (actually a monologue with musical backing) called Time Marches On, and it’s all about the break-up of The Beatles…

The song lyrics sound personal, but I note it was written by Malcolm Taylor; does that mean that for example Brambell’s favorite song was not “Eleanor Rigby “? — or if it was, it was quite coincidence!

Offline I like the first one, “Allulo” — some nice sax-brass parts. The “ob-la-di/ob-la-da” reference is rather buried, coming in at about 2:08 (and you can barely hear the first “ob-la”).
