hmm.
it’s looking like i made this one too easy. so, never fear, there will be a Beatles NNT Pt 2. i’ll try to make it harder.
let’s say… next week ?
Name Nat Tune?
Name Nat Tune?
Name ‘Nother Tunes !
The performance may be the Beatles on all of them, but I don’t think they;re all Beatles songs. Of course I may have 13 wrong.
1)when i’m 64
2)
3)can’t buy me love
4)golden slumbers
5)You’re going to lose that girl.
6)Here, There and Everywhere
7)i feel fine
8)Baby’s in Black
9)lady madonna
10)norwegian wood
11)
12)revolution #9
13)Rock & Roll music
14)Rocky Racoon
15)Sgt Pepper’s LHCB
16)something
17)ticket to ride
18)tomorrow never knows
19)I am the walrus
20)while my guitar gently weeps
I’ll keep banging my head to come up with 2 & 11
The performance may be the Beatles on all of them, but I don’t think they;re all Beatles songs.
this is correct. all the songs here were performed by the Beatles, though there may be songs here that the Beatles themselves did not write.
Ok, banged 11 into my head, Nowhere man. Still stuck on #2, and I know I’ll feel stupid when i get it.
And to correct what the Posies would have called a Golden Blunder, #4 is of course You Never Give Me Your Money. Although that whole side is really just one song.
It’s pretty tough not to. You went the right direction with (1) very short clips (even shorter than you usually do) and (2) instrumental passages rather than lyrics. But what do you do about a bunch of Beatlemaniacs?
Nice! A geezer quiz!
1 When I’m 64 1967
2 Baby, You’re a Rich Man 1967
3 Can’t Buy Me Love 1964
4 You Never Give Me Your Money 1970

19 I Am The Walrus 1967
20 While My Guitar Gently Weeps 1968
But what do you do about a bunch of Beatlemaniacs?
other than really extremely short clips, my only hope is this: most of these songs were hits, and are still pretty popular. and while there aren’t many Beatles “deep cuts”, there are a few. using songs which are a little bit obscure could make a difference.
1. When I’m Sixty-Four
3. Dizzy Miss Lizzy
5. You’re Going To Lose That Girl
6. Here, There And Everywhere
7. I Feel Fine
9. Lady Madonna
10. Here Comes The Sun
11. Nowhere Man
13. Back In The USSR
15. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
16. Something
17. Ticket To Ride
19. I Am The Walrus
20. While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Really, I mean… The soundtrack of my childhood…
(Thanks for alerting me to this. My access to the Net has been pretty limited these days, and I get two short windows a day during the week.)
Ooh! Just noticed brother Bobby entered yesterday. Ah well, so much for winning outright. He’s as autistic on this topic as I am.)
glad you came by, Neddie.
there will be another Beatles Name That Tune next week – a bit harder, I hope.
Yeah, come on! Let’s have a challenge!
