Back in the day, the Beatles were all the rage.
I had the red best hits, the blue best hits.
More I listen, the less I liked them, to be honest.
Now, they have maybe a half dozen songs that resonate with me.
This is one:
Baby’s good to me, you know
She’s happy as can be, you know
She said so
I’m in love with her and I feel fine
Baby says she’s mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know
She said so
I’m in love with her and I feel fine
I’m so glad that she’s my little girl
She’s so glad, she’s telling all the world
That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She’s in love with me and I feel fine, mmm
Baby says she’s mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know
She said so
I’m in love with her and I feel fine
I’m so glad that she’s my little girl
She’s so glad, she’s telling all the world
That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She’s in love with me and I feel fine
She’s in love with me and I feel fine.
“I’m so glad that she’s my little girl…I’m in love with her and I feel fine”
The way I feel about Herself. Damn, I’m lucky.
So as a guitar nut, I can see how they got that rock-a-billy sound. Lennon is playing a Rickenbacher, Harrison appears to be playing a Gretsch archtop. Two iconic sounds that are expensive to reproduce today.
