Musical Saturday Morning

When the Beatles came out, such a yawner!
I had no clue as to why anyone would listen to them!
I was and still am a Dave Clark 5 fan.
And most everyone I knew in Germany liked the DC5 far more!

So, I paid little attention to the Beatles.
Of course America made them super stars.
So, by 1967, even in Germany, it was solid Beatles, with an occasional Buckinghams or Zombies tossed in!
I was forced to go to short wave just to listen to something other than Beatles weirdness!

And everyone had their favorite Beatle.
Usually it was John or Paul, Paul if you were a girl, John for the guys.
If I had been forced to pick, it would have been Ringo.
He was the obvious outsider,
He was angular - his nose a monster - like mine!
Yeah, a lot like me, if I think about it ...

But even though I really did not like their music, John Lennon did write a few memorable ones.
And I still like them on those rare occasions when they are played on the oldies station.
So, this is one of them ....
