I listen to the latest Bob Dylan,s Album , Tempest , this song : Roll On, John
Doctor, doctor tell me the time of day
Another bottle’s empty, another penny
spent
He turned around and he slowly walked away
They shot him in the back
and down he went
Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so
bright
Roll on, John
From the Liverpool docks to the red-light Hamburg
streets
Down in the quarry with The Quarrymen
Playing to the big crowds,
playing to the cheap seats
Another day in the life on your way to your
journey’s end
Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so
bright
Roll on, John
Sailin’ through the trade winds bound for the
South
Rags on your back just like any other slave
They tied your hands and
they clamped your mouth
Wasn’t no way out of that deep dark cave
Shine
your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
I heard
the news today, oh boy
They hauled your ship up on the shore
Now the city
gone dark, there is no more joy
They tore the heart right out and cut him to
the core
Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll
on, John
Put on your bags and get ’em packed
Leave right now, you
won’t be far from wrong
The sooner you go the quicker you’ll be
back
You’ve been cooped up on an island far too long
Shine your
light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
Slow down
you’re moving way too fast
Come together right now over me
Your bones are
weary, you’re about to breathe your last
Lord, you know how hard that it can
be
Shine your light
Movin’ on
You burned so bright
Roll on,
John
Roll on, John, roll through the rain and snow
Take the right-hand
road and go where the buffalo roam
They’ll trap you in an ambush ‘fore you
know
Too late now to sail back home
Shine your light
Movin’
on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
Tyger, tyger burning
bright
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
In the forests of the
night
Cover him over and let him sleep
Shine your light
Movin’
on
You burned so bright
Roll on, John
...They've forgotten all about God
He's the only reason we exist...

Are they? They certainly aren’t around my area.Edit: I mean among my group of friends. They get some airplay on the local Alternative station.
Oh sorry didn’t saw this post. Well in UK they won Brit award so at least in UK they are popular, so I thought it was the same in Canada.

Those words are so beautiful! They were enough to make my cry. Just beautiful.

Offline Life in a Northern Town by Dream Academy has this:
And he took a cigarette out
And everyone else came down to listen
He said, “In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And The Beatles.”

“Red red red red red red red red redneck
Well the boys ’round here don’t listen to The Beatles
Run ole Bocephus through a jukebox needle”

Pink Floyd’s Let There Be More Light:
The outer hatch rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky

The Guess Who. The pink wine sparkles in the glass says: “McCartney and Lennon just payed all the bills and made Great Britain free”.
Paul Simon. “The late great Johnny Ace” says: It was the year of the Beatels, it was the year of the Stones, the year after JFK…”
The Outsiders (a NY group) sang “The guy with the long Liverpool hair”. Look for it in Youtube, it is a funny lyric.
The great Italian singer/composer Franco Battiato. “Cucurrucucu paloma” says “Lady Madonna , I can try With A Little Help From My Friends , Goodbye Ruby Tuesday, Come on baby let’s twist again”.

King Crimson’s “Happy Family”, though slightly incomprehensible lyrically, is an allegorical song about the breakup of the Beatles (“Rufus, Silas, Jonah & Jude”!) Song is from 1970, so it’s surely the first with that subject matter.
Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

I didn’t see a thread for novelty songs (should I start one? Yes, I know that means “We Love You Beatles” would rear its hideous head), so I’ll post here. Posted at Fab Four FAQ 2.0. Photo referenced below is at that link.
Wow, that was quick:
On this day in 1964, “Ringo, I Love You” was issued as a single.
(The artist seen here at right, alongside her producer at left and Darlene Love, center.)
Richard Buskin and I recently discussed this record on our podcast [somethingaboutthebeatles.com ]. This was Cher’s debut as a lead vocalist, though it was not a “Cher” record per se. Phil Spector, producer of the single, felt that Cherilyn Sarkesian was too ethnic, so it went out under an All-American-sounding handle: Bonnie Jo Mason.
Though Beatle-related novelties were not hard to find at the time, this one drew few radio spins (apart from Buffalo, New York, for some reason), leading some to speculate that such an atypical female voice pledging devotion to the Beatles’ drummer masked something unsavory going on, causing deejays to shun it.
Spector was credited as a co-writer, along with his protege, one Vini Poncia – who one day, would become Ringo’s longest running songwriting collaborator.
Edit: This post was moved from another thread. Emily’s post below refers to the one above.

“Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust.”
Ironically, the Clash were actually huge Beatles fans…
