I am doing fortune cookies as part of my favors for my wedding and want to use Beatles lyrics as fortunes.?

Posted by admin on September 30th, 2009 and filed under beatles lyrics | 6 Comments »

Any ideas? I want them to sound like fortunes, so not just random lyrics. And I don’t need links to sites with lyrics, I need inspiration for which ones sound good enough, so your help is appreciated!

GREAT IDEA!

The Beatles’ lyrics are just so full of life that any–even the early "dumb" ones–would make fun fortunes.

"She loves you–yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Picture yourself on a boat on a river…"

"I don’t care to much for money, money can’t buy me love"

"Take a sad song and make it better."

"Everybody’s got something to hide ‘cept for me and my monkey"

"Why don’t we do it in the road" (An OBVIOUS one)

"If you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait."

"And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make."

"Get back to where you once belonged"

"All you need is love" (Also obvious)

"Say the word, and you’ll be free"

"Life is very short, and there’s no time,
For fussing and fighting, my friend,"

Etc., etc.

Beatles Irish Discography & Sales Figures

Does anyone know the Beatles Sales figures for each single, ep and album released in Ireland. Also, does anyone have the Beatles Full Irish Discography aswell

EMI/Parlophone, the Beatles’ label, does not generally release detailed sales info. As far as I know, the Irish discography follows the UK releases.

who is a better out of the Beatles, John Lennon or Paul McCartney?

Posted by admin on September 30th, 2009 and filed under beatles john lennon | 3 Comments »

we are having a debate at school and i think Paul is better but my friend thinks john is. if you have reasons to that would be great !

Paul’s of course a much better (as in, more technically skilled) instrumentalist – pianist, bassist, drummer and guitarist. As for vocals, he sang off-pitch much less often, but of course the whole question of ‘better’ or ‘worse’ is a matter of opinion.

As for songs, Lennon made further use of ‘odd’ and ‘exotic’ elements, such as the modulation in ‘Do You Want to Know a Secret?’, the form in ‘Happiness Is a Warm Gun’, etc.

McCartney was obviously more musically-minded when it came to arrangements. Not in vain, he co-wrote the orchestral score for ‘A Day in the Life’ and came up with the trumpet solo in ‘Penny Lane’ (which George Martin transcribed and David Mason played it).

Lennon wrote more songs for The Beatles, but Paul wrote more hits.

It’s up to personal taste at the end of the day.

I went and bought this great framed original picture of Paul McCartney today at Recordland ..actually traded a cd for it :p pretty great deal I think ! They have some pretty nice framed pictures but I just want posters and they don’t sell em. Does anybody know any other places in Calgary where I can find Beatles posters they don’t have to be framed or original, brand new would be nice too lol.

There is the movie poster shop on 16th ave and Centre St. It’s the one with the big King Kong climbing the empire state building on the front.
