Odd Characters We Know
(Coming soon: Places We Want to Visit During Our Lifetimes)
How about cheese, HOW TO KEEP AN RRR ALIVE FOR MORE THAN ONE MONTH, stationary (you know, shiny pink erasers, pens that flow…), or odd characters that we know (such as, I know someone who loves to do…, nothing mean really though) ?!
Sorry, had to add that about the RRR’s (and I do consider it a topic that needs discussing).
Odd characters!!!! Here are the oddest people in my life, and why they are odd;
Mae; she’s very perverted, has a hilarious sense of humor, Manga/Naruto-obsessed, and dresses goth. My bffyl at school.
Nicole, or Nikki; she has a birth defect where she only has a thumb on her right hand, and yet she’s the most accomplished fighter in my school.
Bridgette; talks in an insanely squeaky voice, lives in the same appartment comlex as Mae, and says “WHOAH!!!!!” whenever she hears something perverted. Go Bridgette!
Genni; used to be homeschooled with me, adores chickens, and likes to rub scented oils on her legs while complaining how fat her calves are. Weird, but genni, i heart u!!!!!
(sorry for any spelling/grammar errors, I have a shrunken comment box.)
I think maybe we could do it on places you want to go before you die? Here are a few of the places I really want to go to:
Madagascar
Australia
Alaska
Machu Pichu
Greece
China
The Amazon
I have checked off some of the other ones on my list.
I’ll do both!

I don’t know any more off the top of my head.
Weird people:
The entire cast of Eggs

Weird people…
Me
My dog (Well, he’s not a person, but I’m counting him anyway)
Pretty much all of my friends
The majority of my family
Almost anyone involved in politics

Rednecks.
Places I want to visit:
Tasmania
Antarctica
Alaska
Finland
Iceland
Providence, Rhode Island
the list goes on….
Strange people…My entire school, (it’s practically a requirement that you be weird to get in) the dude who hangs out next to the dumpster at the local supermarket, and the soap-opera obsessed girls from the GED program that I have to share a dorm with.
11- *siiiiigh* I wish there was a school like that in my area. I could probably get in by wearing my ultimate outfit alone! (Team Edward t shirt with Sharpie doodles, hot red courdory (sp?) miniskirt, insane updo with Go! Go! Gryffindor! hairpiece, Riot! cd art wristbands, black and white checkered Keds with various white squares colored in with neon nail polish, done by Mae, and green and black stockings.
I wore this to school once and I actually got asked if I was on crack. I said no, this was just the me the normal world never saw.)
So, my friend Olivia is sufficiently weird. She has 30-something sheep, a nutso 3 year old adopted sister, and a crush on basically every guy in the grade.
I went to a middle school which wasn’t a weird people magnet, but you became weird after going there for three years. It was insane.
12- Yay! Sheep!
It was my goal to be the weirdest kid at school, but I think I failed on my first day. I’m weird in my own way, but I really can’t compare to some of the kids around here. Even my outfits aren’t really weird. Not like MissSwann’s, apparently.
I’ve got to wear my ball gown sometime.
One of my brother’s friends is awesomely weird. I’m weird too. I know a lot of nifty weird people. The one I’m thinking of right now (my brother’s friend) wore a tiara in her school picture.
14- The first day I got to my school, I knew I was the weirdest person. And soon, so did everyone else!
16 – I completely identify with you.
Go weird people!
Well, to begin with I know myself…
Odd people? My sister. *sigh*
My dance teacher is not so much weird as…quirky. She loves lanughing into tirades about her extended family and the motley things that have befallen its members since our last class. One of my funniest anecodtes regarding her is: three of the girls in our class (including myself) were in an MS play. She decided to come and watch. At the conclusion, she sent me a letter of congratulations, which was primarily devoted to a long list of reasons as to why she diliked large crowds.
I like her all the same (perhaps even more for it)!
12 – Awesome outfit! I wish I had a sense of style like that, but as weird as I am on the inside, I’ve never been motivated enough to develop an external reflection of that. I’ve toyed with the idea of going for a sort of Goth look, but I don’t know if I could pull it off.
My friends, (and I), are all exceedingly weird! We’re so weird, we warrant being spelled wyrd. Of course, that could just be because Bookworm spells “weird” “wierd”!
My friends and I are also completely weird.
I’ve actually been called normal exactly three times. (Which is a really large number all things considered. thankfully, I’ve been called strange, weird, insane, etc. far too many times to count)
One of the people who called me normal now refers to me as her dictator.
One of them called me so for talking about megaseconds and knowing my SI units (incidentally, we should all convert to metric time. Makes so much more sense. Each day is divided into 1000 units, each of which would be about 2/3 of a minute long) He was actually a rather strange guy my friend tried to set me up with. Needless to say, nothing ever came of it. (He called me normal!)
The third person is now my best friend.
Wierd people…
Well, if you consider:
throwing a ”small” party when you are fourteen years old solely for the purpose of getting completely fibbing drunk,
losing your virginity at thirteen,
smoking cigarettes, water pipe, and… um.. something that’s illegal in the US but isn’t in Denmark… and Holland….
whining constantly,
dressing like a punker, claiming to be a punker, but in reality liking pop,
having steady boyfriends whom you drop because they arn’t exciting enough
…..weird, then the award goes to…… NELLY! Yes, yes congratulations! Velbecommen, til lykke, let’s have a big round of aplause for one of the wierdest ”friends” I have!
Weird people = me
Other weird but awesome people……
1. Bill Nye the Science Guy
2. Hagrid (nice but has serious issues about whats cuddly)
3. Jafar from Aladin (mwahaha! I am sultan now! :twisted:)
4. red M&M man
5. Vincent Vango (so misunderstood)
24-“Weird?” More like “Sad.”
Weird person = NAPOI, currently Life is Purple.
WEird Person = ME, and I wonder if anyone else is obsessed with Titan?
My school probably wins at weirdness. It’s an arts school, so it’s also basically a requirement to be weird. Matching clothes don’t exist, half of the student population wears cat tails (as in, a tail pinned to their pants/shirt to look like a tail), ears, has multicolored hair, etc. It’s very strange…
25 – You mean Vincent Van Gogh? Didn’t he chop his right ear off? *coughinsanecough*
28 – My school is too normal. I am the weirdest person there who can also recite meaningless facts that have nothing to do with anything whatsoever in the middle of a conversation randomly.
Double post, sorry, but speaking of weird, wanna see the script for our Reader’s Theater? I wrote 80% of it.
Wait. I don’t have it on this computer. I’ll post it tomorrow afternoon, after school.
28- AH! *is swamped* I want to go to your school! *purchases plane tickets* *shows up on Pan’s doorstep* “Hi Pan! Can I go to school with you?”
I can’t believe none of you said this! All the characters from Douglas Adams’ trilogy of five books are by far the oddest characters in the world!
So are the characters from “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency” and “The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul,” also written by Douglas Adams’
28 – *pops up behind Alice* Take me with you!
George du Maurier. In “Trilby”, one minute he’s giving a huge description of every detail of an apartment setting and the next he’s ranting about something completely random. It’s a very strange reading experience.
hey, i’m just joining this thread can someone tell me what we’re talking about?
34 – Weird people.
Wait. I forgot about the script. Here it is:
THE PUMPERNICKEL MAN
NARRATOR: In Reid’s ((Reid is someone in our group)) house, next to the whips, chains, and other bondage machinery, a small, man-shaped piece of pumpernickel was being baked. The baker…
BAKER: Mm… smell that bread baking…
NARRATOR: …has finally finished the Pumpernickel Man.
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: I’m ALIVE!!!
BAKER: Finally, you’re DONE!!! Let’s eat!!!
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me: I’m the PUMPERNICKEL Man!
NARRATOR: So then, the Baker chases after the Pumpernickel Man…
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me: I’m the PUMPERNICKEL Man!
NARRATOR: …all the way to the front door of Jordan’s ((again, someone in our group)) house.
BAKER: (PANTING) Oh, I’m going to get you!
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Wait. Let me pick this lock first.
CAT: Meow.
BAKER: Okay. Why, hello there, cat! Are you Jordan’s?
CAT: Meow!
BAKER: I think this is a savage, wild beast – not a cat!
CAT: MEOW!
BAKER: Hurry!
*click*
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Got it!
NARRATOR: They all run inside: Baker, Pumpernickel Man, AND savage cat.
BAKER: Phew. We’re safe.
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Good. At least I didn’t crumble.
BAKER: Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! I’m going to get you NOW!
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me: I’m the PUMPERNICKEL Man!
CAT: MEOW!
MAX: Oh, hello Mittens. Look! A pumpernickel man!
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me: I’m the PUMPERNICKEL Man!
MAX: Ooh! Pumpernickel! I just LOVE pumpernickel!
BAKER: So do I.
CAT: Meow.
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Uh-oh… well… um… Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me: I’m the PUMPERNICKEL Man!
NARRATOR: They all dashed around the house, panting and puffing, until at last they entered the dining room and cornered the Pumpernickel Man.
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: I know this is useless, but: Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me: I’m the PUMPERNICKEL Man!
BAKER: I’m… still… going… to… get… you… (PANTS)
MAX: I’m still hungry! WAH!
CAT: MEOW!
NARRATOR: Then, the Pumpernickel Man has a bright idea. He scrambles up the chandelier.
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me: I’m the PUMPERNICKEL Man!
MAX: Aw, shucks. Even though I’m SO hungry, we’ll never get him.
CAT: Meow.
BAKER: Drat…
NARRATOR: Then, the Pumpernickel Man gives them hope.
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Nanny nanny hoo hoo!
MAX: He’s slipping! He let go of the chandelier to mock us!
CAT: Meow!
BAKER: …Is that a good thing?
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Woah… woah… WOAH! AAH!!!
NARRATOR: And right before the Pumpernickel Man hit the Jaws of Death, he realized something.
PUMPERNICKEL MAN: Maybe I shouldn’t have been that cocky.
MAX: (SWALLOWS) I do love pumpernickel.
34- Odd Characters We Know, as described at the top in bold.
Hmm… if I listed every odd character I knew, the scroll bar at the side of this thread would become approximately a Planck length wide- that is, if the GAPAs hadn’t passed on before they finished reading it.
Oh, by the way, Max is Jordan’s little brother.
Isn’t the script simply AMAZING?
Weird authors:
Poe (LOL, the signature weird author)
Balzac (workaholic)
Um…I dunno. I had plans to compose a brilliant list (but, as usual, they fell through). Whom (studying for a grammar final, here) should I add?
Poe is wyrd, as our the H2G2 characters!
Wow. Poe really is weird……..
Weird author:
H. P. Lovecraft
Weird organization:
The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Yikes.
13- I usually don’t dress like that, I just want to. Mae is the one to bust out a really weird outfit like that at school.
So, other weird people. Ummmmmmmm…
(runs out of weird people)
weird characters:
Theodore and Amus, from the Apple Dumpling Gang. good old fashioned comedy. . .
I have been called normal exactly twice. One of those people must have been delusional because my hair was 4 different colours at that point. ‘Tis 5 now. I dress like a wannabe skater, hang out with the goths, and am in all honours classes.
weird people. hmmm. I don’t know really.
42) Does that group actually exist? *shudder* Why? Who in their right mind would join? Hmmmmmmmmm. I guess that’s the point……
46- I would laugh. Seriously, I just did.
My friend’s girlfriend is weird. She shaved her head and dyed her bangs pink. I’m not holding that against her, but still…
My cousin Neil Paul is the coolest cousin ever! (Does that count?) He knows how to write in Kryptonian, built his own pair of prop Wolverine claws, and designs the coolest virtual environments on the computer!
47) What? So she shaved off all of her hair except for her bangs?
At school Logogeo96 is considered very weird indeed! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
How my friends would probably describe me:
Weird wanna be hippie with insane smarticleness.
You get the idea! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
49- Yes. She’s great and all, but I think that’s kinda weird. She used to have this long, flowing blonde hair, but then she buzzed cut it all off and grew out her bangs. She then decided to dye them pink.
50- Why do you put space between your exclamation points?
51) I suppose that it puts more emphasis on the fact that they are, in fact, exclamation points. I guess it’s also for easier reading. Maybe……….
Maybe we should *morph the chameleon*.
What should we talk about? Maybe the negative/positive effect of Walmart or maybe the importance of cows.
How about “places we’d like to visit”?
I would have loved to visit the Middle East; it must be incredibly beautiful with its rich esoteric historical legacy. However, thanks to OIL, it’s probably become almost impossible to see all the splendour…
51&52- Yes, easier to read and it looks better in general! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
52- DOWN WITH WALMART! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
At this one vegan cafe/restuarant I like to go to they had a funny yet disturbingly true shirt for sale that said:
MALL * WART
Your Source for Cheap Plastic Crap
As you can see I try to not go to Walmart as much as possible! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
46 – Unfortunately, yes. I don’t know much about it, but I skimmed a page on it the other day and apparently its members want humans to refuse to breed so that the species will die out and make the world a better place for all the other creatures. I wonder if the members accept that they’ll die out, too, or if they just want everyone else to die and leave them alone?
53 – Same here. I was watching a travel show about Iran the other day and it looked amazing. I wish I could visit there, especially Persepolis.
55- Well, I certainly think that we’re overpopulating the planet, but humans don’t need to die out entirely, just get back to a smaller number and make a little bit more breathing room for everyone involved.
55) I agree with Alice! Those people are going way over the top! Besides, humans are a huge part of the food web! I mean, you know the saying that one disappearance on the food web is disastrous for the whole ecosystem? Well, humans happen to be a part of that too……….
2- I’m not a wierd person you know. Woah.
Dies
3- I wanna visit another galactic time!
Does that count?
Neeewbeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
aka: me
Weird person- Bill Nye the Science Guy
52- Wal-Mart sucks. Cows are very important. And I lol’d when I saw your brief worship statement about exclamation points.
54- Go to Walmartwatch.com. It gives you all sorts of info on how EVULLLLLLLLLLLLL Wal-Mart is.
Wal-Mart=
58- *gasps* RobinHood worship, as in the TV show????? Are you a n00b? But anyway, Robin Hood is the awesomest!!!!!!!!!!!!! (other than Futurama and Family Guy()
Wal-mart? Whatever.
Wal-Mart more than sucks. It’s horrible. **** it. (no, I put the stars in, just so you know.)
Wal-Mart. Well. Don’t get me started.
JK, actually it’s OK. I went there for the Harry Potter release party. It was better than the one in Barnes and Noble, actually.
((uh…)) *is confused* ((what’s ging on here?))
59) Bill Nye the science Guy is awesome!
64) We’re discussing different things, right now about Walmart.
I have kind of mixed view of Walmart. Their policies are bad, they treat their workers badly, and they pretty much destroy local businesses when they move into an area becuase of competition. But, I mean, I think that the new Walmart that has been put into our town has been good for it. I mean, our town is so small that we never had anywhere to buy basic clothes or anything really. To buy anything that wasn’t food, farming tools, or cheap drug store items, you had drive to Burlington, which was a long way away. Especially with gas prices now, its nice to be able buy things. Anyway, as far as local businesses go, most people in our town are loyal to local businesses so Walmart didn’t really effect it.
On the topic of Walmart, go to jib/jab.com (without the slash) and look up Big Box Mart: its a rather funny social commentary/spoof about the impact of Walmart on people’s lives!
And yes, Bill Nye the Science Guy is pwnereux!
63- GO. TO. WALMARTWATCH. DOT. COM. NOW!!!!!! May you never say that walmart is ok again!!!!!!!
67 – I did. What does it prove?
68- That Walmart is an evil super-rich corporation that is trying to take over the world.
69 – How does it prove that?
Yes, Bill Nye rocks.
WalMart is the basis for Blok. (In the Pendragon Series.)
70- Go to the website again. THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH!
72- What’s Blok like? I’ve not read the series. Only the first book.
-63 you got to go to the release party? aw, that rocks. I was GOING to go with my friend Emery…but then we GOT THE DATE WRONG and then my friend had something they needed to do….it was extremely sad. I’d even had a costume made, I was going as either Seamus or Lucius Malfoy. Which I’d have to keep my hood up for the latter, but cut my hair to Seamus. (My hair’s of middling length and EXTREMELY messy.)
73-Blok is a very nasty corporation that controls the World, (while, technically Territory) of Quillian. It is featured in Book VII of the Pendragon Series!
73 – So… what does it prove?
Well considering the overpowering smell of plastic/synthetics/evil makes me physically ill when I go to Wal-Mart, gonna have to go ahead and say I have a low opinion of them.
Stores do not need to be that large. Conspicuous consumption, people.
they should’ve bombed wal-mart and not the world trade center.
They shouldn’t have bombed anywhere! Nobody should…
79) I agree heartily with Bookworm!
Well, I see how Walmart could be compared to Blok. I’m just saying that although there are a lot of negatives to Walmart, there are also positives.
i hate. wal. mart.
78- If they’d bombed WalMart:
The people inside the planes would still have died;
The people in the WalMart would have died;
And WalMart would still exist, because there are hundreds of them worldwide.
Nitpick/ They didn’t BOMB it at all, they crashed airplanes into it-unless you’re talking about the one that happened the day I was born in 1993/ nitpick
mmmm…. wal-mart is extra OOBER evil….
Seriously, Wal mart is pretty much messing up the US of A’s ecomony, resources and enviroment, AT THE SAME TIME!
Wal mart stinks like rotten peanut butter and bad milk and melted wizards.
Do you mean melted wizards from the “Blanking to Dragons” Series? I love that Series! Maybe it’s called the “Enchanted Forest Chronicles”…
Mr. Joe controls Wal-Mart. Die, Mr. Joe.
85- Blanking to Dragons is a much better name for it.
OMG. I love the Enchanted Forest Chronicles/Blanking to Dragons series! I have read those a bazillion times each, and they’re all awesome! Which reminds me, I really need to read them again soon.
Wal-Mart is going to take over everything. It’s super rich, therefore it has all the political power. There’s no fighting it. Soon, there will be a Wal-Mart in every freaking city in America.
*sigh* I hate to think about that but I think that it’s true. I think the really bad thing about Walmart is that it has everything in it. This makes it so conveniant that other stores simply can’t compete with it. I think something should be done about this! Perhaps the government could start to support individual stores in an area instead of huge chains like Walmart.
85- Yes, Geeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
Some one other than me has read those!!!!!!!! I love Mendanbar, and the rabbit that is a fifteen foot blue floating donkey!!
86- No, dooface, the MAN controls walmart… geez, get it right….
87- I agree!!
88- Yeeeeeeeeay, ANOTHHHHER!!!!!!!!
89- Um, bud? Lighten up and FIGHT THE FORCE!
90- Right now the government stinks (sorry, having problems with the government right now… no offense to you peeps who like the president… YAHOO! ELECTIONS!) and WE yes WE can help…. when buying stuff, instead of going to walmart, go to a smaller local store! WE CAN DO IT PEOPLE!!
YAY RHW! YES WE CAN!!!
*offers online programed hand to Bookworm*
Friends?
SAVE THE POLAR BEARS!!
Sorry, I have green outs.
Friends!
Yeay!
Okay, brief quiz:
Have you read Maximum Ride?
Twilight?
Sisters Grimm?
Oh, and do you like MissSwann person??
I LIKE MAXIMUM RIDE.
Those books make me happy.
Wal-Mart? I hate it. I onl;y have to go in there a few times a year, if that, and I despise every minute of it. All we ever get there is underwear and the occasional tub of soy ice cream. Other than that, we stay as far away as possible, it scares me to go in there, it really does. *shudders* yuck.
Maximum Ride: Yes!
Twilight: On my “To Read” List…
Sisters Grimm: I LOVE these!
MissSwann: Machine: *Beep* (Monotone) It_Is_Not_Polite_To_Ask_People_Their_Opinions_On_Other_MuseBloggers_. *Beep!* *Shuts Off*
Bookworm Says: Yes, she is nice!
WHY DO YOU HATE IT SO MUCH????
Well, maybe I’m too naïve to hate mega-companies yet.
Anybody heard the Target Commercial. Stupid. They changed the song. Paul McCartney is selling a bunch of their songs now. It’s stupid. He shouldn’t because then they change it too much, and people call the song “the target commercial song” or the “bank commercial song” not “Hello Goodbye”
hALlo.. you don’t know me…. i am beatlesrockr’s sister….. about the song HELLO GOODBYE….. good song…… interesting…. what about all those other stores? What will happen to them? Will they just evaporate? Where will we get that annoying Menard’s commercial. “SAVE BIG MONEY AT MENARDS”
d**** Wal-Mart. I hate it. Does anyone know about ways to destroy it? I’ve been trying for many years…
*pies PumpkinCHEESEPiePINKbunny*
*pies Beatlesrockr’s sis*
101 – I feel your pain. Truly.
100~ Because they sell cheap (r@p and push all the smaller business right out of existence. They’re taking over all the towns and cities and wreaking havoc on independent stores that actually sold good stuff, or at least were a bit more human friendly.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I find going into “Wally world” a very dehumanizing experience. It’s so unnatural, and not in a “down to earth” way– but it just seems like a sabotage on all sides. I’m always so glad to get out.
103~ Don’t shop there, try to keep them from building a store in your town (or a second or third one). Write to people in your town who can throw their weight around and who would agree with you. Make valid arguments against it. Ask your friends, family, and others to join you. Whatever you can, really.
I love Wal-mart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
105 – Seriously? In my area, Target is monopolizing everything. There is, like, one Wal-Mart store within ten miles of my house.
106-Really? I’m shocked, Miss Inpronouncable! *Faints*
99~ READ TWILIGHT! NOW! LOVE EMMETT! NOW!
Other than that, congrats, you’ve passed THE QUIZ!
106- They caused the golden toad to go extinced, they are one of the many causes of global warming, they are crashing the US’s ecomony, THEIR MESSING UP BABY ISLAND FOXES HOMES AND YOU LLLOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEE THEM?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
105- Cootos, you’re awesome!!
*pies random person because had anger issues at school*
95) MAXIMUM RIDE! I love those books! I’m so frustrated because I ordered what I think is the last book from the library 1 and a half months ago and it STILL HASN’T CAME! I dieing to know what happens! I want to read it so bad! And I’ll be really upset if the book comes while my family and I are on vacation and they don’t keep the book!
Hmmmmmm. A lot of people have been talking about Twilight. But no one will tell me what it’s about.
And what is its reading level? Because I’m frequently having that problem, since my reading level keeps increasing and a lot of good books are now under my reading level to the point that it takes me one hour to read them and it just isn’t worth it to read them. 
did u know that wal-mart ppl were editing wikipedia articles that were talking about their employee treatment?
Pepsi also did this w/ their nutrition facts.
I love scandals
That’s the problem with Wikipedia! It just isn’t a good resource on debatable topics! Still, it’s a grand Discworld database…
60 – The Robin Hood series that’s on BBC now? *loves*
110 – Twilight is a romance about the adventures of a teenage girl and her mysterious vampire boyfriend. I thought it was a fairly easy read, but I’m not sure what its actual level is. At my library it’s marked “older teen,” if that helps. I wasn’t that impressed with it, but don’t take my word for it.
101- Paul mcCartney is an *******. If John Lennon hadn’t been assassinated, the beatles wouldn’t have lost so much dignity. Paul McCartney does anything for money, including selling the rights of all the songs to Micheal Jackson, a.k.a. Mr. Loves-Loves-Kids-Too-Much. Also, the songs that are done by ‘Lennon/McCartney’, he wants to change so that they say ‘McCartney/Lennon.’
106- WHY?
99- Awww, that’s so sweet. Don’t mind RHW’ she’s slightly eccentric.
102- Did Beatlesrockr tell you that I think you rock? Because you do. For liking the Beatles, of course.
106- You just put yourself in line of many AngryMissSwann pies. *pies to Kingdom Come*
110- Oh, you poor person! I would totally let you borrow my copy, but that would be slightly difficult to facilitate… Also, Twilight is extremely intelligent; most of my teachers liked it. But it’s not boring. It’s about a girl that falls in love with a vampire.
113- YAY ECCENTRIC! Robin Hood on BBC, yes, that’s what she means! YAY< YOU LIKE IT TOO!!!!!! Also, Twilight is very easy to read; it’s just marked that because there’s some intelligent humor. (ie, “I began putting away the toilet opaper, -paper towels, and other scintillating bathroom supplies”… said by Bella, sometime in the book.)
Since we’re talking about The Man and all:
“There was a man upon the stair
When I looked back, he wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I think he’d from the CIA”
uhhhh I hate Walmart.
114- hey watch your mouth.LOL. I love paul.
113+115) Well, it sound interesting. I might look into it. *ponders*
about my post the other day.. I never said anything about Wallmart.
*pies iŹ√Ҳ! (11 piepoints) and Kokonilly*
Kokonilly, why did you pie me? I said hello goodbye was a good song. I never said I liked the version target made. I never said anything like that. I too think that it is wrong that Paul McCartney sold all those songs.
-100 no, you’re not to naive to hate it, you just haven’t had a reason yet. One will come though, and it’s not always so great…
But anyway, Wal-Mart is just one big box store contributing to the destruction of our beloved earth. Encouraging the obesity problem in the U.S., and taking up a huge niche in our economy, therefore stamping out small, eco-friendly stores across the nation. It’s just one damn stupid idea started up by a certain political mindset encouraging the continued dumbing down of the American people.
There’s no need to have such a horribly politically money-drawing attraction out there. Think about it this way, the more money that goes into that system, a small percentage goes to the war in Iraq. Does that help you understand why we hate it?
I don’t like Walmart.
Hehe….Mallwart….hehe…
114- WHAT??!??!!!?!!!?!??!?!??!? KEEP YOUR DIRTY MOUTH OFFA PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, anyone here have On Demand? If so, go onto it, and go to Free Movies. Then go to free movies M-Z. If you go to the Ws, there’s a movie called Wal-Mart: High Cost. WATCH IT. It displays ALL of Wal-Mart’s flaws. AWESOME documentary.
Okey-Dokey…
Paul sooooo does not rock….
McCartney and Lennon were both arrogant [posterior]holes, but they were also amazing musicians. they both had issues with each other in the end. and you can yell at paul for selling out, but most musicians do in the end…not that it’s a good thing, but what else are they gonna do? stop being rich?
Can we start the places we want to visit in our lifetimes?
Mine are:
Paris
Greece
Egypt (particularly the pyramids of giza)
Japan
Monte Carlo
Berlin
London
Iceland
more later..
126- You want to visit the pyramids? Prepare yourself. tourism is not pretty, but they are nice.
122- A PAUL LOVER IS AN ANTI LENNON PERSON!!! ANTI LENNON PEOPLE ARE ANTI ONO PEOPLE!!! I LIKE ONO!! *seriously. don’t yell at me. i have other people for that.*
My mom and step dad and half brother and I *sigh* are possably going to go to Berlin this summer. I don’t want to. I WANT TO GO TO THE US. BUT I don’t want to visit my step-grandparents. I wanna see my best friend. Is that so much to ask?
You are one lucky little wung to visit the pyramids, Vixen.
128- and all I do is complain and complain and complain….
I am lucky. It was so much fun!
which pyramids?
Not liking Paul McCartney (spelling??) is NOT OKAY!
I want to go to the Pantanal in Brazil.
Settle down, RHW. It’s not a capital crime to dislike someone…
Sorry. Haven’t been on this particular thread in a while.
119 – I pied you because you sang the Menard’s song. I HATE THAT SONG!
130 – What do you mean “which pyramids”?
133-There are a lot of pyramids in Egypt and Cent. Amer. Although I never went to Egypt, i’ve been to some ones near Mex. City.
I’m planning to go to the Olympics in August or sometime soon, but the Olympics aren’t exactly a place.
127-ONO BROKE UP THE BEATLES!!!!!!! Gosh.
134 –
Um… I seem not to be thinking straight today.
Wait a minute. I actually never learned how the Beatles broke up. WHERE’S BEATLESROCKR???
127- I am not anit-Lennon. I just like Paul’s voice a leetle better. Or anti-Ono.
125- *giggle* Posterior holes… I’m gonna have to start saying that now… (expiriment: “NOAH! Get your grubby hands off my iPod! You little posterior hole!!!!!!!!!”)
132- Actually, it is, if you live in a country where disliking a ruler is illegal.
131- Hear hear!
What about the contents of our bakpacks? That was a fun subject…
paul’s voice is better. and he is a kick-posterior (
) bass player. but lennon is lennon, and that says a lot. plus he is way hotter.
ringo is definitely the cutest though. admit it, you all just want to give ringo a hug.
and george wrote some really good songs.
oh the beatles, why am i obsessed with you…
137- You are obsessed because they rock. And kick some sirius posterior. But I disagree; Ringo is cute, but Paul is cuter. But John is cuter than George, and Ringo is cuter than John. So that basically leaves Paul and Ringo to battle it out on the ‘Cutest Beatle Competition’…
127- I would kill to go to Berlin. KILL. ok maybe not, but its just funny to me that you want to come to such a boring place like the us. *sigh* Ive never been out of the country.
Paul just has such a happy voice. It has a positive tone to it. John was brilliant to though but his was always much darker,
Why is no one talking about George? Hes the BEST one anyway!
127 – Not pretty how? As in it’s too crowded, not friendly, etc.? The Pyramids are on my “want to visit” list.
133 – Menards? I’ve never heard it, so there must not be any around here. I have been tortured by Kroger ads though…*gets stupid radio jingle stuck in head* AAAAGH!
134 – Ono broke up the Beatles? I didn’t know that.
138 – *wishes such a competition would exist*
139 – I’ve always wanted to visit the west of the US, especially San Francisco or Seattle. Other than that, I agree; the midwestern/southern US is really, really, REALLY boring, or at least my home state is. :p
The Beatles are good, but I prefer Joni Mitchell, on the whole. *Prepares for an Onslaught of Pies*
139 – George is the best.
Beatlesbeatlesbeatlesbeatles!
Yay! Beatlesbeatlesbeatlesbeatles!
I’m done.
141 – *piespiespiespiespies*
I’m quite repetitive today.
The Beatles?
*blink*
I like Strawberry Fields.
I hate I Am the Walrus.
I have nothing else to say.
I don’t even know what they look like.
This “Places we want to visit” topic has been used about three times already.
“I Am the Walrus” is deliberately annoying. It was written as a parody of songs with obscure lyrics, particularly those of Bob Dylan.
When I was in 1st grade my teacher would play yellow submarine sometimes and my class loved it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
142&139- George is cool, I come to think of it MBers are some of the only people I know who don’t know of our similarity can anyone guess?! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
140 – I agree. I think Minnesota is a bit pathetic. We have a Spam museum and the largest ball of twine in the U.S.
On the other hand, we have the Science Museum with the Star Wars exhibit that my parents promised I would go to last Sunday but wound up not going due to the fact that my best friend came over.
(double post, sorry)
145 – …You are both human/male? (or both?)
146- When that star wars exibit came to my local museum I was there when they filmed the commercial for it. It was awesome with tons of droid and jedi fighting the sith! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
145-Hint: three letters of my MB name! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
147- Closer than that! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
143/144-hey! i like that song! do you have any idea how fun it is to not explain the lyrics while giving people an infuriatingly knowing smile like you actually understand?
plus it’s just fun to sing
See? You use it to be deliberately annoying, too. It’s very good for that.
hmmm…I hate to say it but I actually don’t have any Beatles CDs!
148- ummm….. yuo both have a thing for geography?
Speaking of the Beatles, has anyone heard Bach Meets the Beatles. It’s a bunch of pieces in the style of Bach that are loosely based on Beatles songs.
148 – Cool.
2nd half of 148 – The “Geo” part?
152 – *piespiespiespiespiespies* Go get some or I shall pie you a second time!
151 – But it’s also a good song, even when you’re not deliberately annoying someone.
I just listened to “I am the Walrus”.
157 – Did you like it? Wasn’t it awesome? Is it your new favorite song?
I decided it was my theme song for awhile, because it made about as much sense as my brain. But now it’s I’m Only Sleeping.
158 – Yeah, it was pretty good!
I never thought this would happen…

((oh and sorry for the double post
))
Yoko Ono did not break up the beatles! The Beatles were together for a little more than 10 years which is a lot for a band. Eventually they would’ve had to break up. And a Paul lover is not an anti-Lennon person! You can love both, though I love George and John.
for Kokonilly:
It’s easy. John wanted to go solo, Among the other causes of dissension were that the others felt that McCartney was becoming too dominant. Internal divisions had been a small but growing problem in the band; most notably, this was reflected in the difficulty that Harrison experienced in getting his songs onto The Beatles albums.
On the business side, McCartney wanted Lee Eastman, the father of his then-girlfriend Linda Eastman, to manage The Beatles, but the other members wanted New York manager Allen Klein. All past Beatles decisions had been unanimous, but this time the four could not agree. Lennon, Harrison and Starr felt the Eastmans would put McCartney’s interests before those of the group.
It’s much more complicated then that. I can’t understand the rest
So, I don’t understand, how did this get changed to the beatles? Was it post 101??? That was just random.
160 –
That was long… please tell me you copied and pasted that.
161 – Okay. I get it now.
162- Actually, I just learned all the beatles songs (I mean, like ones I didn’t know before). Because I copied and pasted the chart from Wiki, and erased the extra things, and erased the ones I didn’t like. And added a little. So I had to go through the whole thing.
163 – Oh…
Oh yay, you have Paul McCartney’s birthday….
Ringo’s is July 7th 1940, the oldest of them all, though he doesn’t really show it, it seems Paul is, though he’s the 2nd youngest.
In October you should put John’s (October 9th 1940)
And George’s (Feb. 25th 1943)
and Mr.Richard Starky’s
160- You forgot “Flying.” It was basically a one-minute long song with no vocals whatsoever. You can find it on the “Magical Mystary Tour” album
166- I know, I have the album. Those are my favorite songs by them. I’m not a big fan of flying, but it’s a good song.
160-Really? Those are some of my favorites…
168- hehe, I only left out, like, 20 or somethin, they have around 300. There are currently 282 songs on the list. Go to Wikipedia and type in “List of the beatles songs” up pops alll of ’em, from “12 Bar Original” to “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away”. That’s where I got my list, though I edited it a lot.
They are so weird!
My sister became obsessed with the beatles once, and got a t-shirt. Now i have to wear it instead of this completely awesome black shirt to dance class. GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
169-I meant “Hey Jude” and “Let It Be”. Those two are some of my favorites!
143- *at top of voice* I AM HERE AS YOU ARE HERE AS WE ARE ALL TOGETHEEEEERRR/SEE HOW THEY FLY LIKE LUCY IN THE SKY SEE HOW THEY RUN/ I AM THE EGGMAN! THEY ARE THE EGGMAN! I AM THE WALRUS! GOO GOO GOO JOOB GOO GOO GOO GOO JOOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the beatles pretty much rock.
171- OOOOHH, those are pretty good songs, just not my favorite ones….
Paul McCartney is a great song writer, but he mostly wrote about love. The Beatles soon knew they had to step it up and start singing about other things. Examples are I am the Walrus, Tomorrow Never Knows, Taxman, Strawberry Fields Forever, and most of the Sgt.Pepper album. Which are the songs that came out in the later years. “Hey Jude” of course was awesome and I know that wasn’t about love, but about Julian.
So yeah, the best band ever.
Anybody ever heard “Hey Bulldog”? It’s like the last one all of them really out there hearts into, you know, before they started cracking. It came out in “The Yellow Submarine” album, right before the “Let it Be” and “Get Back” sessions. It’s awesome, these were great lines from the song,
“Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles, what makes you think your something special when you smile?”
” Some kind of innocence is measured out in years, You don’t know what it’s like to listen to you fears ”
“Some kind of solitude is measured out in you, You think you know but you haven’t got a clue ”
John wrote it but it was credited “Lennon/McCartney” all Paul did was change it from Hey Bullfrog to Hey Bulldog.
160- you also did not mention “Give Love You Too” on the Revolver album.
Sorry for the double post, but since no one’s here I might as well.
170- How dare you call yourself a nerd and not like the Beatles! You are a disgrace to the nerd species! Liking the Beatles is one of the prerequisities to being a nerd. In my godly opinion, you are probably one of the people who like Kelly Clarkson or something like that.
171 – I agree!
174- It’s called “Love you too” it’s by Harrison, and I DO have it on there. Just LOOK. It’s not called “Give love you too”!
I think George is way underrated. “My Guitar Gently Weeps” is beautiful, a work of art. “Taxman,” “Piggies,” “Here Comes the Sun,” “I Me Mine,” all wonderful.
The beatles rock in general. There’s no denying that.
Signing off. So sorry for the double post.
I’ve just seen a face,
I can’t forget the time or place
Where we just met
She’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We’ve met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m’mmm-mmm
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I’d have never been aware
But as it is I’ll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di’n’di
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I’ve been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, mmm-mmm-mmm-m’mmm-mmm
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes he is falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Yay! I liked the remake of that song in Across the Universe. (good move; watch it now)
Does everyone like the Beatles? I’ve always found it really strange that seemingly every single person likes them. I’ve never liked them — I just don’t like that kind of music — but I’ve never met anyone else that doesn’t like them.
182- I don’t.
183 – *gasp* Sorry.
A lot of my friends don’t like them. We have to avoid the whole topic of music in our conversations or risk gigantic arguments.
I must say this again, but I do like Joni Mitchell better! And Tom Lehrer!
185- Ohmigosh, Joni Mitchell! I have “Blue.”
And I also like Tom Lehrer’s “And Irish Ballad,” though I’ve only ever read the words.
I love the “Circle Game”!
Of Tom Lehrer, I find his version of “Clementine” extremely funny!
143 – I like I Am the Walrus, but just because I love crazy lyrics.
146 – Kentucky has the Derby and that’s pretty much it. We do have Wendell Berry and some pretty scenery too, but that’s not enough to attract tourists. Plus the weather is unpleasant for most of the year.
154 – Hadn’t heard of it, but I definitely want to find it now.
182 – I know a few people who don’t like them, but far more who do. Their music is just too good to resist!
As long as we’re on the topic, my current Beatles favorites are “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite,” “Eleanor Rigby,” and “Paperback Writer.” I listened to “Paperback Writer” all the time during NaNoWriMo. Has anyone else found that “Mr. Kite” sort of merges with your subconscious if you listen to it long enough?
182- Not everyone. Read comment number 170.
Sorry for the double post again but here goes. My current favorite Beatles songs are “I am the Walrus”, “Taxman”, and “Eleanor Rigby”.
Attention any Beatles fans that can play the piano; there are Beatles songbooks for piano being sold.
187- Does that version have “Until I kissed her little sister and forgot my Clementine”? Because that sounds like a very Lehrer thing to put in there.
188 – I have found that, listening to my Project Playlist/mP3 player too many times in succession leads to you predicting which song comes next. For example, I know that “Let it Be” it right after “Imagine”. “White and Nerdy” is right after “The Saga Begins”.
And such.
(191) Yes, that verse was rewritten in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan.
That I missed her depressed her young sister named Esther,
This mister to pester she tried.
Now her pestering sister’s a festering blister,
You’re best to resist her, say I.
The mister resisted, the sister persisted,
I kissed her, all loyalty slipped.
When she said I could have her, her sister’s cadaver
Must surely have turned in its crypt.
Yes, yes, yes, yes!
But I love she and she loves me.
Enraptured are the both of we.
Yes I love she and she loves I
And will through all eterni-tie!
182- *gasp* oh well
192- Same here, I know that “Whatever Gets You Through the Night” is right before the whole revolver cd, which I also know the order of. After the revolver cd, next Sgt.Pepper cd, then The Beatles (1967-1970), after that The Beatles Number 1s, then The White Album, and after those it’s Help! and A Hard Days Night (both cds), Ain’t she sweet, Wah Wah, Roll over Beethoven, Imagine, Instant Karma, Power To The People, and a bunch of McCartney songs that I can’t remember the order. Of course after that I have “none beatles songs” and some more Beatles songs scattered here and there.
194- The best way to remeber what songs belong to what album is to get a cd player and buy the cds instead of the mp3 player stuff.
185- I like Joni Mitchell’s lyrics better than how she sings them. Sorry.
I LOVE JACK JOHNSON AND JOHN MAYER. They are TOTALLY the bomb.
190-you can get a beatles songbook for any instrument ever. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a beatles songbook for nose flute, honestly.
195- I know, I have all the cds, I downloaded them onto the iPod, you know, insert the cd, got to itunes, all that stuff, though I listen to the cds more though
Yay! My new guitar teacher LOVES the beatles! He’s teaching me Blackbird.
I can play Yesterday and most of Nowhere Man on the piano.
We sang Blackbird in Choir at the last concert. (and I didn’t get the solo, which didn’t surprise me, but I was still sad.)
Beatlesbeatlesbeatlesbeatles….
You play guitar?
John Lennon’s Imagine is still one of my favorites. I was watching a Drake & Josh today, and it involved a Abbey Road record signed by all Fab Four. Beatlesrockr, could you play, i mean write the lyrics to Imagine or Hey Jude, please? Thanks!!
Clementine always seemed a silly sort of song to me. I mean, what happens, she trips on a splinter and drowns?
My favorite beatles song, as of rigfht now: “Two of Us”
202- Imagine’s awesome. It’s by favorite. Then Blackbird, then Elanor Rigby.
201- Yes, I do. Piano for 7 years, guitar for 1. And I’m starting organ lessons in the fall.
205- OMG, ME TOO. *mindreader*
205- For the last time, Imagine IS NOT BY THE BEATLES it’s by John Lennon,
204- !!! You should see the video of them goofing around in the studio singing Two of Us in Scottish accents. SO FUNNY!!
202- Of course, here are the lyrics to Imagine
Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
and to Hey Jude
Hey, Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
Hey, Jude, don’t be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better.
And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don’t you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
Hey, Jude! Don’t let her down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember, to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
You’re waiting for someone to perform with
And don’t you know that it’s just you, hey, Jude,
You’ll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
Hey, Jude, don’t make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better
then all that “Nah nah nah, nahnanha” stuff.
can i just say: OH MY GOSH I ADORE THE BEATLES!
my fave song…let it be. the boy i liked at my old school played it on the piano all the time, plus its a beautiful song
I’m ordering a print of the Beatles off of Allposters.com. It’s really cool.
OK, sorry for teh double post, but I HAVE OFFICIALLY WATCHED THE MOST HORRIBLE MOVIE EVAH. You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. *shudder* Me and my merry troupe of friends had to leave the theatre halfway throught because Sarah claimed she was scarred for life. Truthfully, we all were. (We went to Barnes and Noble and poured over manga while nibbling on cheese pretzels!) The freaking COMMERCIALS were better than the actual movie. DON’T EVER SEE IT. DO NOT EVEN ASK FOR DETAILS. IT SUCKED. TRUST ELMO. IT WAS TWISTED AND WRONG AND SCARY AND WEIRD. IN A BAD WAY.
I got an iPod shuffle.
Hooray Beatles!
I have Lady Madonna and Hey Jude stuck in my head. AT THE SAME TIME. XD
212 – Thanks… now you got it stuck in my head…
I have an iPod Nano! 210- I have not seen it, the movies I am allowed to watch are VERY restricted, but it sounds bad. My favorite movie(s) is(are) LORD OF THE RIIIIIIIINGS!!!!!! I love those!
Also, the Beatles are cool. In The Denver Post, they were voted as the most influential musicians of all time!
Personally, I like U2, The Who, 3 Dog Night, a lot of the other old bands. The Beatles have some good songs, (my boyfriend is absolutely nuts about them), but I only like a few of their songs.
(Ignore my earlier post. One of my friends was using my name)
I have the new iPod shuffle, though I do not care for iPods that much. I was fine with a regular 1st gen for a long time.
Has anybody ever seen The Magical Mystery Tour movie? It’s cool, but a little… weird and random… AWESOME. The Beatles are the funniest people on earth, especially John Lennon (THE FUNNIEST OF THEM ALL, and the funniest person in all the Universes)
I love playing their songs on my guitar and my piano. I figured out “Ob-la-di Ob-la-dah” and “Here Comes the Sun” on the piano without the book, but I don’t know the whole thing. I have this huge book for Beatles music for beginner guitar, though now I’m on to a different book. My sister (twin) played the guitar before, so we like to play together, she’s lead and I’m second
trust me, I like second much better, but I also sometimes like lead if it’s a favorite of mine. But I just play some songs and hum along with it………………………………..
sorry, I just lost myself.
216- Do you like Tears For Fears or the Bee Gees?
212 – That happens to me a lot!
Has anyone seen the Cirque du Soleil show? With all Beatles music? Called Love? I haven’t, but I have the soundtrack.
217 – I have a Shuffle too! I just wanted the cheapest thing they had.
I like Tears for Fears. They bring back warm fuzzy childhood memories… and by childhood I mean age 5 or 6.
217- No offense, but I DESPISE the Bee Gees.
I like the songs Imagine and Across the Universe.
Fun Beatles fact: The scientists creating the Voyager Golden Record asked the Beatles for permission to include their music. The Beatles liked the idea, but their management said no. What a shame.
I just ordered 2 completely boss Beatles posters online!!! One of them is their heads, with their autographs on the bottom, and the other is all of their album covers in a straight line. They’re going a above my bed.
YAYYYY!!!!!!!
220- *gasps* YOU DO?
222- I have a giant painting of the Abbey Road album cover picture on my wall. I remember walking across that road too…
My aunts got to go see a Ringo Starr concert (I wonder how?) and they got an autograph for me (Again, HOW??)
Our health teacher tried to tell us that wings was better than the beatles (we were singing yellow submarine just to annoy him and we all knew all the words, and he goes “oh god are you guys all beatles freaks?” we’re like “…YES…”)
224- BEATLES ARE WAY BETTER THAN WINGS. The beatles combine R&B and rockabilly. That saved rock. *nodnod*
225- they MADE rock, they MADE music.
225- a slight exageration? Music is as natural as our heartbeats, no one can make music…
Yay Beatles! They rock!
227- You know what I mean… they were so GOOD at making music. There music was SO MEANINGFUL, so DIFFERENT, so, sp flamablamablous that it seemed that The Beatles should be a type of music itself. Well, at least for me they invented GOOD MUSIC.
216~ So what was all that about putting “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” on repeat and having me listen to it FOREVER?!?!?!?! *cough, cough* Remember, if you torture me, I’ve known you since you were 8…..heh, heh, heh……
Oh, and why don’t you list Gaelic Storm as one of your favorite bands, don’t you still adore Steve Twigger?!?! *gasp, choke, choke, gasp*
(yes, this is how muffy and I are together, don’t worry about it…hee, hee, muffy!!)
Umm, the Beatles….all I really know of theirs is Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds….read above…..but I liked that, if that counts. I think my Mom has a record or two of theirs.
An explanation to my last post, since I just realized that it wasn’t very clear….
fear the muffins is one of my friends who I persuaded to join MuseBlog the last time Rebecca was here.
We’ve known each other for ages, since she was 8, when we were complete enemies, and then we somehow because best friends. (Although after calling her “muffy” I may just be endangering my friend status, who knows.) Anyway, one of the bands we both like is Gaelic Storm, and to be fair, we both adore Steve Twigger…..actually, I think we adore everyone in that band, but whatever. That’s what I was referring to, just so my last post doesn’t seem totally obnoxious.
Now I’m off, I need to go help Mom make stir-fry…..
231- I love stir fry, does it have water chesnuts in it?
Ok, that was random, but anyway, I love Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. I can’t bear to think people thought they were singing about LSD (drug) but (in my opinion) it’s because of Julian Lennon’s drawing…
According to the Beatles, one day in 1966 Lennon’s son, Julian, came home from nursery school with a drawing he said was of his classmate, a girl named Lucy. Showing the artwork to his father, young Julian described the picture as “Lucy — in the sky with diamonds.”
i like the beatles. even thhoug i havent heard many of there songs. the i am the walrus one makes no send but that is the good part of it. i like things that don’t make sense. they were playing beatles music in the bathroom of a restraunt once.
Beatles pwn!
It drives me insane when people launch into huge tirades about how the song Lucy in the Sy with Diamonds was written on and based on experiences with LSD. Who cares? Why should that detract from how awesome it is?
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was probably meant to be about LSD, but it doesn’t really matter. The Beatles were using drugs, or so we think. Still, that doesn’t mean that their music is “bad”, or that they are “bad people”!
233 –
So you liked “I am the Walrus”? (I made her listen to that one.)
I really, really like “Let It Be”, “I am the Walrus”, and “Hello Goodbye”.
i liked hello goodbye. it seemed all happy.
223- Yes, in my opinion, the bee gees suck.
I watched A Hard Day’s Night last night. It was hilarious! John Lennon is so funny, and I might just want to teleport back throught time to marry George.
GAPAs, I’m sending you pictures of the posters I ordered. Why? Because I’m bored and I want to.
Whooohoooo! “Blackbird singing in the dead of night…”
I love the Beatles. That is my favorite song.
235- I still don’t think it’s about LSD…
but who cares, it’s a great song,
this is a favorite thing of my about the song,
His son’s artwork appears to have inspired Lennon to draw heavily on his own childhood affection for Lewis Carroll’s “Wool and Water” chapter from Through the Looking-Glass. At least one lyric was influenced by both Carroll and skits on a popular British radio comedy programme (The Goon Show) making references to “plasticine ties”, which showed up in the song as “Plasticine porters with looking glass ties”. A parody of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, recited by the Mad Hatter, appears in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Carroll’s work has also been cited as having influenced Lennon’s “I Am the Walrus” which refers to a character from Through the Looking-Glass and his two books, In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works.
AND THE SONG MENTIONS MARSHMALLOW PIES!!
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
that grow so incredibly high
WEIRD. “Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds” just finished playing on my iPod.
!!!! I have it on repeat for “Whatever Gets You Through the Night” duet with Elton John.
242 – That’s nice, Beatlesrockr.
225-hold on, hold on, rockabilly and R&B? the beatles? what?
240-don’t worry, paul said it was. although you know the drawing story right?
238-george was the schmexayest imho, but i was outvoted. (don’t ask me how to pronounce that)
234-duh, that makes it more awesome. ok listen up. Why Trippy Music Is Awesome, from Ebeth
1. Drugs mess you up
2. There is a reason people still try them
3. Certain people are going to do it anyway
4. They will write music about it that gives you the experience without the side effects (especially if heard in conjunction with the itunes colourfultasticness, whatever it’s called. i spent about twenty minutes watching that thing at eric l.’s freshman year when we were supposed to be doing our project)
5. We want people on drugs to continue to make said music because it sounds amazing and is generally awesome.
6. (not really part of the list, but…) Without the drugs, no beatles, pink floyd, the doors, etc, etc.
that being said, don’t do drugs. i’m not advocating their use, just suggesting we take advantage of those who were unfortunate enough to start, and not ignore good music just because there happen to be drugs involved.
The End
244- I remember the interview about it. I just think people shouldn’t hold a grudge against them because of it. The song doesn’t even mention LSD, so I wonder why people freak out about it.
243- ARGH
245 –
246-
oh well.
Beatlesrockr, you’re awesome!!!! Thanks! Jeez, I know the lyrics to some beatles song, but only if I sing along. YOU ROCK! How old are you??
Wow. I can sing along to “Hey Jude”, “Hello Goodbye”, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, and “I am the Walrus”.
A newfound talent!
I luuv “Blackbird singing in the Dead of Night”!
I can sing along to “In my Life,” which is odd, because it isn’t even one of my favorite songs (though I still like it), “I’ve Just Seen a Face” (yet another I wouldn’t number among my favorites,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” (which I simply adore), and “Michelle” (which is completely froody!)
244-:grin:
250- Oh, my dad used to sing Blackbird to me before I went to sleep. when I had nightmares, he would pull out his guitar and play while he sang to me.
Michelle rocks!
248- Um, I’m 10. Just turned it too.
I made a song to the tune of “Blackbird” though it’s definitely not finished, it’s about Kokopelli, and Urania too, I still have to add Bo. But I think I never will finish it…
Koko playing at the crack o’ dawn
the sun is up, but the moon is gone
to bad, Urania
All her life,
she has only wanted to live with the stars
Oh, flamablamablous Muses
OHHO flamablamablous Muses
Kokopelli, Urania, Bo, AEIOU, Pwt, Craww, Chad, Feather, Mimi
you do not here any truces (ok, bad rhyming,it barely even does rhyme, but all the other ones were bruises, chooses, loses, uses, abuses, accuses, excuses, refuses,)
for they are different in every way…
Bo’s mooing as he stares into space
(random) Koko does not have a face
all his life,
he has only wanted to through pies at Urania
Well, then the parts after “She has only wanted to live with the stars” I just thought of, so yeah, it wasn’t finished, definitely.
252- Nice lyrics!
252 – Wiiiicked.
253- why thankyou!
232~ No, that one didn’t have water chestnuts in it, but often they do. I simply LOVE water chestnuts.
240~ Of course, Lewis Carrol was using drugs too…..
256- I love water chestnuts too, they’re so crunchy and taste especially good with soy sauce…
Beatles!
I like your song, Beatlesrockr!
Hey Jude just got stuck in my head.
256-Now that’s alleged! There’s really not much evidence suggesting that…
Well I just realised (I don’t know why) that in the song “Old Brown Shoe” it says
IF I grow up I’ll be a singer wearing rings on every finger.
not
WHEN I grow up I’ll be a singer wearing rings on every finger
Ironic, isn’t it?
-260 interesting….
WOOT BEATLES!
Now here is a topic I can discuss! I’m listening right now…Day Tripper, Drive My Car…love them to death
My friend had been trying to get me to listen to them forever, but I never got into them, and then my other friend’s dad loaned my the number 1 album and the second 2 greatest hits disks, and I WAS HOOKED.
So…I admit I thought Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was about drugs, and the way they sang “eyes” really creeps me out, but it is still an awesome song. It’s actually quite peaceful and dreamy, and fun to imagine.
My favorites (how the heck would you pick just one?) are Michelle (such a gorgeous melody, so simple yet interesting), the Fool on the Hill (I love the instrumental with the flute/pipe), Lady Madonna (which I’m making a saxophone fanfare out of), Old Brown Shoe, I Am the Walrus, Across the Universe, Let it Be, Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da, Yesterday, Penny Lane, Come Together, I Feel Fine,
Alright that list is too long…XD
I like trying to figure out what all the lyrics mean, because it doesn’t really matter. The beauty is that they can be so meaningful to so many people in so many different ways. I also love how they use instruments so skillfully to complement the lyrics and the feel of the songs.
Incidentally, I like Panic at the Disco because the lyrics are cryptic in the same style as some Beatles lyrics…
So…what is your favorite thing about Beatles songs, everyone?
262- OH my god, do not even ASK that question!!!! How about top ten? (in not any particular order)
1-Hey Jude
2-Lady Madonna
3-Eleanor Rigby
4-Eight Days a Week
5-I’ve Just seen a Face
6-Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
7- All You Need is Love
8- When I’m 64
9-A little help from my friends
10- Blackbird
OMG! The Beatles are awesome! I love Maxwells Silver Hammer! It’s the greatest!
I can’t pick favorites, and if I do, it turns out to be much more than half of their songs, as you can see in post 160.
Has anyone heard the song “It’s Getting Better”? It would seem to me John Lennon wrote it but actually Paul McCartney did…
263- Ah! I would not be so cruel as to ask that question! I didn’t ask for your favorite song, I asked what you like about their songs! But I like your list. I love all of those songs…
We like the Beatles!!!!
265- No, but… *googles* Yes, I’ve heard that song! Yeah, that’s a cool song.
I think this is the longest time period that the chamaeleon hasn’t morphed! Go Beatles!
yeah, it’s prolly the longest time…
I hope it stays as the topic for the whole month, that’d be awesome.
