The first Beatles song that we loved

[beatlesquia]

It was "We can Work it out" for me.
I had got their 20 greatest hits album(my first)only a few days back, but when I heard this song on the radio, it just got to me.

[Harbidge]

For me it has to be, 'Girl'. It was one of the first songs I learnt word for word!

Did Paul McCartney die in a car crash on November 2nd, 1966? Visit Paul is Dead - The Conclusive Evidence (http://www.paulisdead.net), read the clues and decide for yourself.

[Eppy]

it was the first beatles song i ever heard: yellow submarine. still can't get over how great john's background singing in the last verse is: "SUBMARINE! HA HA!!!"

------------------
"i am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together" - john

[Dreamer]

Oh my Eppy, Yellow Submarine was taught to us in music class in third grade.

My first Beatles song that stuck with me was Benefit for Mr. Kite.

Still is one of the greatest out there.....

[Eppy]

really?! i wish i had your teacher! in third grade, all i learned was "hot cross buns." i don't understand that song. when was the last time you could get two of anything for a penny?

You wouldn't believe my music teacher. She was totally into the Beatles. She hung their pictures up around her class room, and had a jean jacket with vitage Beatle Buttons all over it. She was cool. I just ran into her recently, and found out she is still teaching music (she is my daughter's teacher).

[Eppy]

tell her to transfer to lt and teach some sophmore class so i can have her next year!

Eppy, She is teaching at Congress Park right now. What is even better is that she taught my husband too, in West Chester when he was in middle school. She took his class to DC.

[Eppy]

some of my good friends went to cp, most importantly the girl who saved my life; but i won't get into that.

Your new friend is still out here Eppy. She is stuffing down Wendy's and trying her hardest to ignore her neighbor who just dropped by to drop of Fargo.

[Eppy]

no, i knew you were still on beatlelinks; it's just that the "who's online" feature told me that you had moved on to another forum... and thus ended the conversation. but i'm glad that you're still here.

love me do was the first beatle song that i ever liked!

Destruction leads to a very rough rough road but it also breeds creation & earthquakes are to a girls guitar there just another good vibration & tidal waves couldnt save the world from californication.

[lennon-mccartney]

Fargo's a good film, Dreamer! The Coen brothers are good. I liked the fact Jose Feliciano was in that film, made me smile when I saw him.

BMTBMT: In My Life is sich a Beautiful song. I really love the word, the voices, etc.

Beatlegirl: I think of Dick Biondy (sp?) on oldies 104.3 and all those songs. It reminds me of working with my pappy and listening to songs like that. Good memory. Thanks for sharing.

[jtal909]

I Want To Hold Your Hand was the first.

[Paul_McCartney2002]

Hey Jude, the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be.

[beatlesquia]

Hey, Dreamer! You keep changing faces.
How old is your daughter?

[Dreamer]

I keep changing faces because I change day to day. My daughter, Jessica is six. She liked Hey Jude when she was about 1. It was just about when she learned how to walk. She would pull herself up and sway back and forth to the Nanananananananananana Hey Jude.... part.

[Dreamer]

Hey Jude was my daughter's first song too.

[beatlesquia]

Listen, Dreamer! This is cool, about changing from day to day. You know, Emerson said, "I say everything I say now with the provision that I can change my mind the next moment." I have forgotten the exact words.
And someone else(I forgot who) has said, "Nothing is sure, so it is not sure that nothing is sure."
Tell Jessica that she might be the youngest little Beatle fan around!

[Original Fan]

"I Want to Hold Your Hand" was the first Beatles song I ever heard in December of 1963. It, therefore, will always be beloved.

[FPSHOT]

She Loves You did it for me a day after release.

------------------
I'd join a band with John any day, but I wouldn't join a band with Paul- George 1973

[jtal909]

Yes, Orig, that was the one song that changed everything here in the States back in the day.

[beatlesquia]

Well, that was way back when..

[beatlesquia]

FP Shot, why do you quote that thing by George after your message?
What did George mean when he said that? Is it out of context or something?

[Eppy]

maybe he likes the genius more than cap'n ego. sorry, never did like paul much.

[Lovely Rita]

I wanna hold your hand was probably my 1st beatle's song, but Let It Be is the song that did it for me. It was the 1st song that I just couldn't get enough of and learned all the words to. I still love that song, and will never get tired of it.
-Lovely Rita

[beatlesquia]

Eppy, what does that verse mean?

[jami]

for me it was "yesterday". oh, that sooo reminds me of being a little girl when my mom and dad were still married.

"Let It Be" is my all-time favorite, too. There is so much feeling it that song, I won't ever grow tired of hearing it either.

[FPSHOT]

Beatlesquia, Eppy's close (nice to see you agree to like the Master over the Mr Wize Guy). I prefer George over Paul in distance.

The remark from George comes from a 1973 interview.

'Having played with other musicians I don't even think the B were that good. It's all a fantasy, this idea of putting the B together again.
The only way it will happen is if we're all broke. Even then I wouldn't relish playing with Paul. He's a fine bass player but he's something overpowering.
Ringo's got the best backbeat in the business - I'd join a band with John any day. But I wouldn't join a band with Paul.
That's not personal; it's from a musical point of view.'

[Andy D]

"Let It Be" is one of my favorites, too. The first song I was really nuts about was probobly " Yellow Submarine", because that movie was my first exposre to the Fab Four.
:-)

[mersyferry]

album for my first communion in 1964 (god,i'm
old!!!)and when i put the needle down on that
1st track i was hooked forever.

it's the chorus to a song that my friend wrote, he's really quite masterful with words. here, here's the whole thing:


MILES AGO

When the wind cuts hard across your face/
It shifts and you have nothing for a brace/
Take our scarf and pull it tight across your cheeks/
And we'll learn from what happened in the weeks/

Miles and miles ago/
Always someplace to go/
Somewhere behind tomorrow/
High above our sorrow/

We have lots left to gain/
We can handle the pain/
Being rusty old American dreamers/
We'll look back and see where we were/

Refrain

I'll run anywhere together/
We'll chase the horizon forever/
We can reach it with the love we've massed/
Then we'll lie in the shadow of the sun we've passed/

Refrain

We'll sail through the changes/
Forgetting our ages/
Riding high above the mast/
Living warm summer evenings past/

Miles and miles ago/
Oh those miles past/
What we are/
Oh make those evenings last/
What we were/
Miles and miles ago.

I would really miss Len Mc if he didn't come by everyday. I enjoy his humor, even though sometimes I don't know if he is joking or not. Len Mc (if you are out there), please don't leave.

Man, Len Mc you can be cruel!
I don't know if you're joking or what but either way you have such venomous words that are going to be taken the wrong way before long.

Len/Mc-

Enough is enough. I think it is time you return and grace us with your presence.

Thank you.

Lenmac, I never told you to go away.
All I meant was go to your site more often, because whenever I go to your message board, you are never there. That does not suggest you should stop coming here.
I'm sorry if it sounded like it meant that.

[Litl Lennon]

w-ee-ll,
my first beatles song i think was "I am the Walrus" i am completely obsessed with that song! it is sooooo weird, in a good way.
hee hee
this summer when my cousin stephanie who is my age, came we did a music video of that song, i was lip singing and my siter was acting the song out. steph was recording it with the video recorder. it turned out silly, but good for two 12 year olds and an 11 year old. we had fun, and that was all that mattered...hee hee
the lyrics make no sense, which i think is the thing that hooked me on that song, the only thing i could make out from what john was singing was "yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye..."
that is pretty morbid, but funny, how in the world could he think of that, john was a genuis!!!!!!!!!

now i have the whole song memorised, and it is great fun to annoy my buds at school by singing that line.

[HeyBeatle]

My first favorite beatle song was " Octopus' Garden".

------------------
The Beatles are life the rest is just details

_________ fill in witty quote here

[**DONOTDELETE**]

The first Beatles song I loved was I Should Have Known Better, except that I was eight at the time and didn't know who sang it. I have no idea how I even knew that song! Anyway, when I found out it was The Beatles, I started listening to more of their stuff and I was hooked. How could you NOT be hooked on the Beatles?? Unless of course you're into the great artist and lyrical genius Britney Spears...

------------------

Brittney Spears is NOT a genius, she's just a little brat! My first Beatle song was Magical Mystery Tour. I like that song alot!
I HPOE you were joking when you said that about Brittney Spears!

Love is a flower. You've got to let it grow.

[paulsgerl]

I was lucky enough to have to aunts that lived in the same house with me. The were playing the Meet the Beatles over and over.

This was back in 64.. The song is "Hold Me Tight" I still love that song even though Paul called it a work song

------------------
Distractions..
like butterflies that buzz around my head.. when I'm alone I think of you

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Of COURSE I was kidding, lilringo! Hello, it's BRITNEY SPEARS.

[darkhorse]

I can't stand Britney's music. But I love her. I mean, look at her! She's beautiful! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

Anyway, Ringo has kind of a talent on atracting children. That's because "Yellow Submarine" was the first Beatle song I loved (when I was about 10). And "Octopus's Garden" was the second. (And still is on my top 10! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif) I only started to listen to John's and Paul's songs later. And I would LOVE George even later on.




------------------
"All the world is birthday cake,
so take a piece, but not too much"

Same for me, it would have to have been Yellow Submarine... we did a play with that as our theme song back in primary school.

[StuSutcliffe]

The first Beatles song that got me hooked was I Want To Hold Your Hand. I was really young when Lennon was killed and had never heard of the Beatles. I was at that age when the only records I owned were all Muppets and Sesame Street ones. I had just started listening to the radio about that time and ,as any of you who are old enough to remember, it was horrible then. With a few exceptions, the top 40 airwaves were mostly comprised of either the last remnants of disco or country tunes. When I saw all the TV stations showing people standing around crying I asked my parents who the Beatles were. Being to lazy to enter a lengthy discussion on the topic with me, my father said "I think I have a few of their records in the cabinet,you can go play them". What he had were copies of "Meet the Beatles", "Yesterday and Today",and "Sgt. Pepper's". They were all given to him as gifts and he had never listened to any of them more than once!! I put on a pair of headsets, and placed Meet the Beatles on the phonograph. After all, that seemed like the most logical title for me to start with. Those beginning C and D power chords had me hooked! Wow, now that's music!! I Want To Hold Your Hand was the first Beatles song I ever heard just like it had been for many people a generation earlier. At that moment the entire universe seemed to open up for me and I was never to perceive anything the same again.

Can't say I've heard of that song before.

[lucyintheskywithdiamonds]

Everybody I've talked to(myself included)likes Paul better than George.

[Litl Lennon]

i love them all, it wouldn't be right to put them in order from most fav. to least, although i do LOVE john a lot! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

[beatlesno9]

I can't remember the first Beatles tune I ever heard, but that would be it. Being born in 1961 and having a sister 11 years older than me, I'm sure it was a very early one, maybe "I Saw Her Standing There"(?)
