Yeah, I don't know how many times I wished I had a best friend who would fuck my wife.

@@secondcomingofbast9908 Basically his estranged wife at the time. In other words Maureen and Ringo relationship was on and off at that time, though still legally married. But yeah, still not a cool thing to do. And not something you'd expect from your friend. But they somehow did remain friends to the end.

Lol..you have no idea, big sky. People who speak on behalf of celebrities they don't know are idiots.

@@chipgaasche4933 I meant purely in the sense of George helping Ringo with songs and music throughout his career. I know there are other aspects to George’s character that weren’t so savoury. We all have our faults.

@@BigSky1 Well, I'm sure glad you figured out Georgie wasn't perfect.

Agreed

I always loved the intro and I learned how to play it

And what about "One after 909"? 😉

An amazing solo. But George was just fucking great.

Beautiful. This, something, back in the ussr are fkinh delightful. Like my ears are eating German chocolate cake when I hear that guitar

He hasn’t lost anything…he’s co-writing the chorus….uncredited, of course

Yes, and refused to take any credit as co-writer as well.

not sure he struggled. he was just shut out of the role of songwriter by paul and john, who ran the show.

@@anotherjoshua OH PLEASE

@@Larry-Art179 this is not my opinion. Paul has said this in interviews.

@@anotherjoshua he struggled in the beginning, a lot

They were respectively the oldest and youngest members of the group and the last two to join. Older brother, younger brother bond.

Ringo least threatening to George, the loveable mascot. John and Paul were too domineering and powerful.

John and George also had a great friendship in the late 60's, and on/off in the 70's. There's so much love and brotherhood between them all though, one way or another.

Yeah

Ringo said just after the death of George: "He was my best friend". Not even Paul said that when John died.

ween

Haha yes!! I felt like screaming this too!!!! haha. Wonderful to hear the makings of their work like this. Wish it had visuals of it all too.

I'd ASK my friends to come and see

Similar to the song "Something". where "Loves me like a cauliflower" was used for the longest time. You want to scream "Loves me like no other lover". It seemed obvious...😂🎵

hahaha. I sorely feel the dilema of wanting to get out of the verse loop. Any attempt to veer off seem to get sucked back in because of the beat. I mean " We would be so happy, you and me" ... If we could get momentarily get out of the loop. But there's no one there to tell us what to do or How to do it... hahahaha

And in the end, the songs you bring, are equal to the booze you drink. Ringo was Hollywood. An elegant Hollywood vampire.

Would love to have a glimpse into Ringo’s mind as that boat captain explained how the Octopus build little gardens out of shiny shells and cans. They’re own tranquil little space at the bottom of crystal blue water off the Italian coast. I’m sure that appealed very nicely to Ringo at the time. I dislike when people call this song daft or childish. I think that’s kinda the point. I’ve always interpreted it as Ringo’s escapism from the increasingly complex and psychedelic arrangements the band was getting in to at the time, as well as the Entity The Beatles now were. This is my favorite Beatles song, Ringo is my favorite Beatle.

The pressure as in Lennon and McCartney. The two became the songwriting team to beat. Anyone connected with them had to be as great or greater. George eventually fit the bill and dear Ringo was coming up the stretch.

I wouldn't go that far but the album is definitely better for it being on there

Timestamp?

Nobody is laughing at him….there laughing along with him….big difference

Its a great song, indeed. They all absolutely shine on it

Would be nice to see the whole video footage of this song. Get Back was driving me nuts after an hour 😆

⁠@@distanttwinkle3508 was probably just rambling discussion

Great observation ...it would have blown the mood of the song out of its proportion and it's simple joyful mood

Huh? The finished song doesn't contain any Am chord. There are only two minor chords in the song at all, C#m and F#m. Neither of them are at the start of the bridge, which does start with an A major chord on the finished version. Unless by "bridge" you mean the pre-chorus? That starts with C#m.

@@HeelBJC I think he means the pre chorus and he is referring to the C# as the key was changed from C to E

@@HeelBJC In their trials they were trying a major chord at the transition at "We would sing And dance around" But it the published version they took the minor The major would have been awful

@@HeelBJC I stand corrected... the final version in the key of E. When George and Ringo worked on the composition of it in the Let It Be movie, they were clearly playing it in the key of C. Here’s the video clip: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ea-boZqDp5nJdYk.html

Yes I find it fascinating too. On a bunch of the outtakes where they are working out a song they go over the material time and again and slowly step by step you can hear them getting closer and closer to the final best version of the song as we've come to know it. They worked together cheek by jowl and they worked long and hard: honestly i don't know how they kept it up for so long without falling out.

@@gerardvermeer2 Aside from their friendship, I think George and Ringo were both pretty easy going guys who didn't quite have the competitive egos that John and Paul had. With that said, I believe they were driven to prove to John and Paul that they could also contribute. While Octopus's Garden is a lighthearted tune, it's a damn good one and it has such a catchy, memorable melody that's almost impossible not to sing, hum or whistle along. It's definitely one of my favorites.

A , Dm, C, Am, D, G

Yeah, definitely. It's all trial and error. They just did a LOT of it.

Watch "Get Back" and you'll get a big dose of it, including this song, as he had already come up with the idea while they were working on the "Let it Be" album.

@@danielcropp8553 your comment reveals what made the beatles great, hard work

HAHAAHAHH, I think John started to play drums since the backup drummer (Paul ;) ) was not

@@DLD2Music If you see the original film Let It Be. Rehearsal 4 and 7 are cut together. The drummer is John. Paul walks in after.

@@BigSky1 yea

Country music

Don’t pass me by is a good song mannnn

genuinly the only beatles song that slightly bores me is dont pass me by hahah

@@PhantasmSt is one of my favourites

Why do people dislike that one? It’s small and fun that’s the point

Same thing happened with "It Don't Come Easy". The only time George got copyright (for whatever reason) was with "Photograph",

Grüße an Ringo

I don't know music theory.Does the first bridge start with.'I'd ask...' If so I notice that the one ending with ''tell us what to do' also ends with with a different note.

I feel the opposite way about Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, lol

Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is the weakest song on Abbey Road. Which goes a long way in explaining why it’s the best album of all time.

@@robbieclark7828 Mean Mr.Musturd/Polythene Pam are my least favorites

1969 but its simple song for beatles

I don’t dislike any song on the album, I specifically listen to maxwells silver hammer because of the synthesizer use and forget it’s complicated history

he didn't wanna.

I think Ringo would get less money if he did that and didn’t want to since he had plenty for himself coming

@@Oceantreasures24 and to avoid the 'Taxman' 🤡

It does sound like it, but the dude seems like he's more than willing to give Ringo sole credit for the song. That's brotherly love right there.

Tbf the iconic part of the song is the chorus and the primitive idea of the song is what he had. So definitely an equal output by both of them

He co-wrote it but it definitely wasn’t just him writing the song by himself. Ringo had the original idea of the song and he brought in what he had to George first which is the first verses and hooks of the song. George then helped him with the other chords. Regarding the lyrics, Ringo wrote that himself

Good ol twickenham

must be the heavy metal influence...

No, quite the opposite. They were purposefully filming and recording everything the Beatles were doing for what would become the Let it Be movie. If you hear a couple beeps, those are camera changes or something. I think there's about 57 hours of film!

@@dailyflash I mean on the average

Paul talks about it in the book "Many years from now". He says, that he thinks he could have prevented what happened by talking Mal out of pointing a gun at the police.

Yup.

The cream rises to the top, Buttercup. George never got to #1 with his earlier stuff.

😳

I don’t think the Beatles operated that way. It wasn’t that they weren’t taking the idea seriously, they had either just arrived or were busy with other things at first.

I love the whimsical intro by George. Clever and lively.

Abbey Road / Let It Be SESSIONS

We love

Yes an integral and sensitive valuable member of any group. You're only as good as your drummer....

@@felixfelix7447 You are right. The stereotype is drummers are interchangeable and anybody can do their job.

I dunno, maybe they just couldn't find a good time to put it in...?
