Think about this, this song came just before Smells Like Teen Spirit in my 2005 playlist and the next song that I'll post came after Teen Spirit. Just think about that.
Check out the screaming girls in the audience. That's one of the reasons that John didn't wear his glasses (if I remember correctly), so that he wouldn't see them.
This video is from a live performance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.
We take a little detour and do a little rockin and rolling with the King.
I didn't post a video the last time I posted this song because I was looking for the version that's on the album, but I kept finding the version of the song that's in the movie. I have finally found what I'm looking for.
When I was a kid, we would take our positions before this song began and prepare to obey Elvis Presley's every command.
( "Du ke" in brackets = the beat of the drums).
I'm just going to jump to my favourite verse.
♪Well there ain't nothing wrong with the long-haired music Like Brahms, Beethoven and Bach Well I was raised with a guitar in my hand And I was born to rock Weeeeellllllll,
Come on everybody and turn your head to the left (dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke) Come on everybody and turn your head to the right (dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke) Come on everybody take a real deep breath And repeat after me I'm love ah my baby I love ah my baby Hey, hey, hey and my baby loves me
Come on everybody and snap your fingers now (dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke) Come on everybody clap your hands real loud (dum ke dum ke dum ke dum dum ke) Come on everybody take a real deep breath And repeat after me I love ah my baby I love ah my baby Hey, hey, hey and my baby loves me
Come on everybody and whistle this tune right now Come on everybody and stomp your feet real loud Come on everybody take a real deep breath And repeat after me I love ah my baby I love ah my baby Hey, hey, hey and my baby loves me♫
There are certain songs that must always be played back to back. For example, if you play Buju Banton's Make My Day you must play Mad Cobra's Legacy immediately after it.
These next two songs must always be played back to back. It's in the constitution.
"Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you".
naptu2: This is one of the greatest mashups ever. It's a perfect combination of four great songs. The producers wanted to use Aerosmith's 1973 hit Dream On, but they couldn't get permission to use it on time, so they used Eminem's Sing For The Moment (Sing For The Moment has samples from Dream On).
These are the four songs that are combined.
Oasis - Wonderwall (1995).
Eminem - Sing For The Moment (2002)
Greenday - Boulevard of Broken Dreams (2004)
Travis - Writing To Reach You (1999).
A DJ combined them (for his radio show) to create:
naptu2: Dear Sir or Madams, will you read my book? It took me years to write, will you take a look? It's based on a novel by a man named Lear And I need a job So I wanna be a paperback writer Paperback writer
It's a dirty story of a dirty man And his clinging wife doesn't understand His son is working for the Daily Mail It's a steady job But he wants to be a paperback writer Paperback writer
It's a thousand pages, give or take a few I'll be writing more in a week or two I could make it longer if you like the style I can change it round And I wanna be a paperback writer Paperback writer
If you really like it you can have the rights It could make a million for you overnight If you must return it you can send it here But I need a break And I wanna be a paperback writer Paperback writer
I know that they have lots and lots of really very good songs (lots and lots and lots of really good songs) but this is my favourite. It's also so much fun to play and I taught myself to play this song in the early 1990s.
The video is also a lot of fun. See, it went like this:
