Could I ask you to say some few words about Lady Madonna, i.e. why do you like this particular song (feel free to answer the same about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, if you prefer, or better both). I like to hear people tell me why they like music.

for some reason not a lot of people realize how much of the great rock bands of the 60s, especially the Beatles and the Stones, were influenced by the great blues artists. Lady Madonna is a perfect example of barrelhouse blues piano. also, the bass line in it is amazing and I love Paul's vocal style here, he sounds sort of black and sort of like Elvis, especially when he hits those very high notes.

I now went and listened again to Lady Madonna, after googling barrelhouse blues (my ignorance is so wide you would think it takes more than one person to carry it). Thanks!

Oops. I accidentally commented to the wrong post/wrong person. I'm still getting used to the iPad's livejournal interface.

You are MADE OF WIN for having a Cole Porter song on that list. Especially that one! :) Hit me with a letter :)

that song figures heavily in the first Jeeves and Bertie fic I ever wrote, which was for MMOM.
I give you J!

Sorry for commenting so late.
I love Locomotive Breath. :)
Can I have a letter?

I liked Locomotive Breath enough to refer to it in a fic.
I give you A!
