southsider2k5 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 A little project I started working on over the weekend was a CD of Beatles songs, that would be a neat CD for the baby. I had a few songs come to mind, but I want to fill a CD. Also I have no problem with solo or works from other bands that included former Beatles. So far I have this... Your mother should know Beautiful Boy Golden Slumbers Octopus's Garden Yellow Submarine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Night is a solid suggestion. One of these nights I am just going to go through all of the titles and pick stuff that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 "Come Together" or "burn this friggin' CD and you'll find freedom" that's my favorite beatles song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I like Paul's solo, Hope of Deliverance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Blackbird and The Fool on the Hill Both are soft songs and the latter is a theme song for "someone"......even she'll get it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Blackbird is actually a very deep statement on the outsiders view of the civil rights movement of the 1960's. I know it sounds light, but it is a very deep song.

Kid Gleason Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Being a silly goof I was going to say "Helter Skelter". But seriously? As soon as that kid gets the slightest smile ability going, put on "Obladee Oblada" and get your dancing shoes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Paul was educating us on Blackbird last night and how it came about. Quite interesting actually. J.S. Bach. And, the "political motivation of the day" was the way he phrased it, or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DePloderer Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) My sons favourite is Maxwells Silver Hammer, I'm not sure what this says about him though. My chidhood favourites were Yellow sub' and Octopus's Garden. Edited November 21, 2005 by DePloderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Mike, I recommend: I'm Only Sleeping (LP Version) I'm So Tired (Kinfauns Version) How Do You Sleep? (LP Version) I'd put on some soft stuff (as SNB said) like the Kinfauns sessions. "Blackbird" is actually perfect, despite the meaning behind the song. But go with the alternate take or the Kinfauns version so your kid isn't overwhelmed by birds chirping. I could never listen to the officially released White Album, although I love the stripped-down versions and acoustic versions of most of the tracks.

I could see why a young child would like this song. It has a circus feel to it. And how many takes were needed for Paul to get it up to his standards? That was right around the time when Lennon started to go insane. Coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Upon review of the songs so far, Nowhere Man needs to be on there, as does Act Naturally. Probably Birthday too, even though that is the only Beatle song I absolutely loathe. Do You want to Know a Secret? too, I think. All You Need is Love, to make sure you turn her into a liberal earth cookie early on too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best beatles stuff is always the stripped down stuff. I'm looking into this thing now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'd definately go with: 1. Baby, You're a Rich Man 2. When I'm Sixty Four 3. Eight Days A Week 4. Here Comes The Sun 5. BlackBird 6. Bungalow Bill 7. Happy Xmas, War Is Over (yeah, it's not the Beatles, but hey...kids even sing on it) 8. Golden Slumbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Slumbers Bungalo Bill, Rocky Raccoon, etc., are seeming no-brainers, but I think the gun references contained within them make them questionable choices. When I play Rocky Raccoon on guitar for the kids I'm always scrambling for alternate lyrics like "Rocky had come, equipped with some gum, to chew up and spit on his rival. . . " At the same time, my kids fell in love with Hey Bulldog and gleefully sing about a jacknife in somebody's sweaty hand before I was able to jump in and sanitize the song. I explained to them that the knife was probably being used to peel an apple or carve a nice piece of art something. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
