What is Paul McCartney’s favorite of the songs he’s written?
If that’s what you are proposing for next week’s question, McCartney’s favorite Beatles song, it would be a great one. It sent me scurrying to the net to see what I could find, and the answer is surprising! But coming from the horse’s mouth, as it were, you have to respect it. Of all the amazing McCartney songs, to think he would choose this one just boggles my mind. . . . although if you let all your high minded, sophisticated values go, and just key in on what you like, I get it.
If Rick chooses this question, and because I cheated, I will wait to post the answer until after others give it a try/
As a side, it is equally interesting to learn that his favorite song of all time is Brian Wilson’s “God Only Knows”. I agree with him there. When I hear that one it just melts my soul.
Hey Jim, Denise, Bill and Clark,
My intention for next eeek is to take your questions and combine them as next Tuesday’s Trivia Quiz!
Thanx to all of you, these are great!
Rick
Okay, here’s my challenge. Name as many 60’s songs with “Girl” or another female term in the title. One point per song. I have my list started.
1. What do Stayin’ In by Bobby Vee and Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye by the Casinos have in common?
2. What do Mr. Bassman by Johnny Cymbal and Cinnamon by Derek have in common?
Johnny Cymbal and Derek same person
Mark Lindsay is well known for his inhaling and exhaling as loud as possible on many Raiders hits. What number one hit SOUNDS like the lead singer is also doing that, but in reality, it is NOT he who does makes this oxygenated sound on the group’s number one hit?
