Paul’s ‘Granny Music’ was almost always ridiculously catchy with brilliant melodies and that’s the genius of it. You always need a bit of light and shade. Paul also wrote the lyrically deep The Fool on the Hill that was included on this EP. It’s the ability to do both that makes him so good.
@@etc7070 Honey Pie is a brilliant pastiche. But Martha My Dear is something else. It's poignant and beautifully structured and enjoyably whimsical but it manages to avoid that kitsch which (for me) mars a number of his songs and prevents them from all being masterpieces. Hang on a minute! What am I doing? I can't believe I've got the temerity to criticise Macca. Shame on me.
The truth is that the many 'reactions' from Americans on older songs, comedy shows, history etc are really illuminating and helping me (at least) re-discover and appreciate more, the great things that we grew up with, but which perhaps we took too much for granted. I don't know why, but the American reactions always seem to be the best.
It is still so unreal to think after all the years listening and loving the Beatles that I would be sitting watching people reacting to them like this. It is amazing to think that also all these years us Beatles fans would say the Beatles are the best and the music will live on forever and this RUclips focus on them shows how true it all is and beyond...
I don't think there's been any other band with the range of the Beatles. The diversity of their songs is unbelievable. And it was all done in 10 years!!!
Paul is so good at these nostalgic songs like: When I'm Sixty-four, Honey Pie, You Gave Me The Answer, San Ferry Anne, Baby's Request, English Tea, etc.
"San Ferry Anne", of course, is an expression derived from the French phrase _"Ça ne fait rien",_ which means "it doesn't matter" (that initial 'C' has the hook under it indicating it's pronounced like an S despite being in front of an A, where it would otherwise be "Ka").
John's "And Your Bird Can Sing" is many people's favorite (except John himself). He dismissesd it as a "throw-away" song. When the song first appeared, guitarists were flummoxed by George's lead guitar work. Joe Walsh (The Eagles) spent months as a budding teenage guitarist learning how to play the incredibly challenging harmonized guitar piece. Years later, he was speaking to Ringo and the subject of "And Your Bird Can Sing" came up. Walsh recounted how he had spent weeks or months mastering the song. Ringo cracked up laughing. "No. Paul was playing in sync with George. No one guitarist can play it by themselves." Now on RUclips there are many tutorials on how to play it as a solo. Still considered a rite of passage if you want to be considered a top guitarist.
Listen to "And Your Bird Can Sing" on one of their Anthology cds. It's hysterical. They must have been smoking a bit of weed because John and Paul are giggling uncontrollably. It just shows how much they loved making music together, despite the contrary tropes.
This tune has stayed up in the back of my head all my life through. I don't know why & still can't explain it to this day. The song itself was not a big hit, but it somehow stuck in my head for "no particular reason" as Forrest Gump once put it. And today I'm nearly 70 y-o.
Your Mother Should Know was the last new Beatles song their manager Brian Epstein heard before passing away from an accidental overdose on August 27 1967. RNB
I was born just the right time. At age 15 I watched The Beatles first appearance on Ed Sullivan, Feb 9, 1964. The band then became part of the soundtrack of my life through the remainder of my teens. Magical!
It's fun watching your reaction Harri buddy, thanks. I believe Beatles' music can unite people of all races all beliefs all walks of life. They're the all-time greatest English-language rock&roll band.
Hello Harri, this is one of my favorite hidden gems by the Beatles. The melody is so beautiful. It reminded me another 3 hidden gems: Bluejay Way, Being for the Benefit of Mister Kite and Flying (the only track signed by all four of’em). Cheers from Mexico and keep that good vibe of yours
One thing that all the hundreds of people who do Beatles music reaction have in common is that they all move to the rhythm and that is a tribute to one of the Beatles’greatest qualities: rhythm, groove, swing, beat, whatever you call it, the Beatles are in movement.
Actually, this song is like a little bon-bon, it's not very long, it's just a sweet little treat you pop into your mouth, and it's over a bit too soon.
I always think it's missing something - a middle section. But I can't think of how such a section would work. Paul obviously felt the same way. Too good a melody to waste.
Mccartney wrote this song for the ballroom dance sequence in Magical Mystery Tour, he sent a copy to Peggy Spencer, (Peggy Spencer dance group) so she could choreography her dances, to the song.
The next Beatles song you should hear from the American release of the album Magical Mystery Tour is "Hello Goodbye", because of that song, sugar will flow from your ears. There is a nice promo video from 1967.
Hey Harri. Coincidentally, I sent this video to my daughter the other day as it had Spanish subtitles on the screen and she is learning Spanish! I said I expect her to sing it to me in Spanish any day now. I've always loved this one, from when I was 8, when it came out though it always made me feel a little sad too.
I was obsessed with this album when I was a small child. I played this record over and over and went through the color booklet and stared at all the pictures. I remember thinking, "My mother *was* born a long time ago."
these songs by the Beatles bring so many happy times back then.all music was played and loved.best way to bring us together.The Beatles were special!!!
Absolutely! I can remember me and my niece who is just a few years younger than me listening to this on 8-track in the basement of our house. We were just talking about it recently LOL
@@yesterhear3521 continuity? Because there is no continuity, the songs are not good? What continuity is there on Revolver-an album considered to be an all-time clasdic?
Please, do "the fool on the hill" and "for no one". I'm asking you for the last one almost on every video. You're very good at it because I can see on your face how you're listening to each instrument, harmony, vocals separately and then, all toguether enjoying the song. You're tremendous!!
Ha ha, I envision us all jumping up and down like a classroom full of kids, shouting at Harri the teacher at the front of the room: "Do this one, Sir!" "And do this one!" "No, do this one first!" "Sir, sir, you have to do this one!!!" We can keep this up for quite awhile :-)
Thanx Mazasan..I probably missed your comments.Im definitely gonna do one of your songs..Might be in a week or two,cos theres a queue of songs recorded already. Thanx for the kind words ✌🏾
@@HarriBestReactions I know everybody's asking you for songs and that you can't read us all😂 I'm not demanding you, just messing around like a little girl to get what I want. But it's because I really love the way you do it.
OH! It just dawned on me that there are some kids alive today whose mother's weren't born before this song came out!! I wonder if they know?!?! I love your reaction, Harri. Your utter delight was obvious.
I think this is Paul doing his granny music, as John liked to say so often! Inspired by dance halls of the early 1900's, Paul loved this kind of music, which his father played on the piano when he was a kid. Fun Fact: This song was in consideration for the first Satellite broadcast that The Beatles did in 1967 where they sang All You Need is Love. Another catchy Paul tune that gets stuck in your head!
I love your Beatles reaction and remember pretty much the first time hearing them. Glad to see you are getting deep enough in that you can recognize who wrote what songs! Carry on!!
I was a tween when I saw this movie, many years after the movie was released. The moment I saw George Harrison in that white tux, it was love at first sight. And even today, when I hear the start of this song, I instantly sigh.
My mother literally should know this, although in fact she's rather too old to appreciate the Beatles. And that's the point. Paul is describing - and celebrating - a generation before him.
I loved this album and this song growing up. I would sneak into my bros room when he was out and put this on the turntable. Especially this song and "Fool on the Hill"
A sweetly crafted little song by Paul. Not every song has to be complicated. Sometimes a little ditty will do. Been awhile since I heard it. Thanks for sharing it today.
Looks like this might've been your 50th Beatles song reacted to. How many other bands can you go 50 songs deep and still pull things this great out? :) You've still gotta find a way to do the full Abbey Road B-side medley. It's their goodbye to the world.
I have always loved this song! I was personally offended recently when someone suggested that this is a “throwaway song” from the MMT album! What?! This song is wonderful!! I’m so glad you agree Harri🥰It definitely has Paul’s fingerprints all over it. McCartney just oozes talent with his songwriting. They actually perform this in the “Magical Mystery Tour” film. They are dressed in white tuxedos with roses in their lapels. The conspiracy theorists said Paul’s rose was a different color and that was another clue that he was dead. 😂😂 My car could use a wash but I assume you are nowhere near where I am😂
@Debbie Chang the problem is, we were so spoiled with the Beatles! For all kinds of reasons, and sometimes no reason at all, some songs got dissed as being 'throwaways.' 50+ years later, aren't we glad they're all still there for us to listen to and find new joy in?
They did and covered everything you could in music, you go out and buy a Beatles record and your mother sings along to them, how many kids can say that today.
Whimsy was so much of what the Beatles were about. These three are brilliant - Fool on the Hill , Lovely Rita and She's Leaving Home. You could do them as a show all together.
I am a consummate Beatles fan, yet I have never heard this song, either. Beautiful. Very Paul-sounding! Another Beatles song, one I recently rediscovered, that is pretty like this one, again from Paul, is "Another Day". That song is in his post- Beatles days. It's a beauty. I think you'll feel like it's "diamonds" in yours ears!!
This whole album is killer! If you like this song, watch the movie Magical Mystery Tour, especially the last scene where the Beatles sing this song, while walking down that long trippy staircase, all dressed in tuxedos.
Yes, this was during the whole Paul is dead phase of the Beatles. Three of them had pink carnations, and Paul had a black one. As you said, here's another clue for you all… For those of us who lived through that time, you could really make quite a case that Paul was actually dead. Thank God he's not.
I wil recommend again and again... You Know My Name (Look Up The Number). The "funnest" Beatles song. Paul McCartney says this is his favorite Beatles song.
I love that you're putting your hand up as a champion of Paul's 'Granny Music'... Back in the day few people dared to admit to liking it after John made this devastating comment, but I think after a few decades of water under the bridge, people can just like what they like again, and not worry about changing musical fashions and snide comments.. Fool On The Hill and Blue Jay Way are the other unmissable tracks on this album, from Paul and George respectively. Both express a feeling of a subtly altered reality, in different ways. If you can find them you might enjoy the ethereal, misty mood of Blue Jay Way accompanied by a groovy psychedelic video that includes George playing a keyboard painted onto the floor in front of him, and the video to Fool on the Hill in which Paul skips about the hills in a long overcoat to a song that for me is somewhat reminiscent among other things of the #0 card in the Tarot's Major Arcana, 'The Fool'..
Hari, Beach Boys Pet Sounds was Paul's inspiration for Sgt Peppers, the talk was the Beatles were all played out- Paul working on Sgt ... was thinking "Yeah just wait...."
Hi Harri, please check out Badfinger their songs No Matter What, Day After Day and Baby Blue. They were signed by the Beatles' Apple lable, even took their name from a Beatles song. 💖
The Kinks made a living with these type of "wholesome" type songs in the Sixties and its their best stuff but not well known. They got kicked out of the US so Ray Davies dedicated himself to writing about the good old days of England. Songs like Village Green, Waterloo Sunset, Afternoon Tea, Sunny Afternoon.
I don'tknow why so many people are bashing that song, it's brilliant and a beautiful chords and harmonies!!!!!
May be change the lyrics to your son should know.
Paul’s ‘Granny Music’ was almost always ridiculously catchy with brilliant melodies and that’s the genius of it. You always need a bit of light and shade. Paul also wrote the lyrically deep The Fool on the Hill that was included on this EP. It’s the ability to do both that makes him so good.
Honey Pie and Martha My Dear are some of my favorite "granny songs" lol. That's a great way to describe it.
@@etc7070 Martha ain’t no granny song.
@@etc7070 Honey Pie is a brilliant pastiche. But Martha My Dear is something else.

@@cliffhughes6010 good points!
Thanks. Love Fool on the Hill. Didn't know that.

Yes I agree 100% would be fun to hear it all again for the first time.
We all were once :)
@@thegameguy208ya but I was toasted a bit and don't remember all the first .....ha

No doubt about it..the greatest band to even live!! Four bugs turn the music world upside down!
What a lovely charming man!

It is amazing to think that also all these years us Beatles fans would say the Beatles are the best and the music will live on forever and this RUclips focus on them shows how true it all is and beyond...
The Beatles wrote the best songs of every genre and, when they ran out of genres, they just invented new ones. Awe inspiring.
The "King of Melody" does it all the time. I loved playing this live back in the sixties.
I don't think there's been any other band with the range of the Beatles. The diversity of their songs is unbelievable. And it was all done in 10 years!!!
Paul is so good at these nostalgic songs like: When I'm Sixty-four, Honey Pie, You Gave Me The Answer, San Ferry Anne, Baby's Request, English Tea, etc.
Yes! I love all of these songs and I hope we will see reactions to them sooner or later.
"San Ferry Anne", of course, is an expression derived from the French phrase _"Ça ne fait rien",_ which means "it doesn't matter" (that initial 'C' has the hook under it indicating it's pronounced like an S despite being in front of an A, where it would otherwise be "Ka").
I think his having a Dad who played jazz and English dance hall classics influenced him greatly.
John's "And Your Bird Can Sing" is many people's favorite (except John himself). He dismissesd it as a "throw-away" song.

Did you know there was a World poll of the top 100 Bands in Rock n Roll ,
even today the Beatles are classed as number one .
This EP/Album is the 'forgotten best" of the Beatles albums/EPs. Every song is masterful.
This song has been the anthem of my family (wife & 2 daughters) for a quarter of a century.
Still remember when I listened to it thr first time. Absolute breathtaking experience. Still feel it to this day. I'm 81. God bless
This tune has stayed up in the back of my head all my life through. I don't know why & still can't explain it to this day. The song itself was not a big hit, but it somehow stuck in my head for "no particular reason" as Forrest Gump once put it. And today I'm nearly 70 y-o.
I think you would enjoy Being for the Benefit of Mr.Kite from the Sgt. Pepper album!!
Hugely underrated Beatles tune in my opinion... great reaction.
Your Mother Should Know was the last new Beatles song their manager Brian Epstein heard before passing away from an accidental overdose on August 27 1967. RNB
Somebody's going to be humming this to themselves today.
I have always loved Pauls Granny music. Something about that soft-shoe shuffle just makes me happy. So glad that you enjoy it so much.
I've been binging on the Beatles for over 50 years.
And never stop! :-)
Me too, and will never stop!
Have you listened to “For No One”? Another great Paul melody.

Just 4 blokes from Liverpool, and 2 of the most prolific gifted songwriters ever to set foot on this planet
Non dimenticare che anche se in ritardo, George Harrison ha creato meravigliose canzoni.
McCartney can't help himself. He's also a marvelous showman. Haha. Sir Harri, thank you again for your channel and your sincere reactions. Perfect.
Actually, this song is like a little bon-bon, it's not very long, it's just a sweet little treat you pop into your mouth, and it's over a bit too soon.

I taught this song to my nieces when they were babies. My middle niece still sings it to me. 50+ years later.
One of the most underrated Beatles songs. Harmonies and melody are so great, feels like it could be sung Acapella.

You Know My Name (Look Up The Number). The "funnest" Beatles song.

This song is a nod to dance hall music in the UK which the Beatles grew up listening to.
I sing this to my kids as we dance around, because I am their Mother and this was a hit before I was born. :)
Such a great point about The Beach Boys! Never noticed that. Also the backing vocals have a very Scouse sound to them more than usual.
Fabulous tune.
Great reaction,Harri 👏👏
I Love Your Mother Shold Know!!!!
Paul had another fine "granny" tune from the White Album called Honey Pie. It would have been a hit in the 1930's.
its a cool jewl...l ❤ Beatles! Ron
One of my favorites from this album.
McCartney: genius.
Great one from Paul off Magical Mystery Tour ♥️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
I love Paul's bass on this, also.
Delicate to my beloved momma Jessie. Rest in peace arise in God's light.❤️
Their most underrated album. Baby youre a rich man is worth a listen. Only a northern song is great as well! Keep up the great reviews!
To complement this one, you should listen to When I'm 64. Paul wrote it for his dad's birthday. It's catchy and fun.
Hari, Beach Boys Pet Sounds was Paul's inspiration for Sgt Peppers, the talk was the Beatles were all played out- Paul working on Sgt ... was thinking "Yeah just wait...."
Check "The Fool on the Hill" from this same album, its a little song but I love it.
My mother said _ you should subscribe ...I did it Geetings from Colombia
Hi Harri, please check out Badfinger their songs No Matter What, Day After Day and Baby Blue. They were signed by the Beatles' Apple lable, even took their name from a Beatles song. 💖
The Kinks made a living with these type of "wholesome" type songs in the Sixties and its their best stuff but not well known. They got kicked out of the US so Ray Davies dedicated himself to writing about the good old days of England. Songs like Village Green, Waterloo Sunset, Afternoon Tea, Sunny Afternoon.
Misty Waters, She bought a hat like auntie something. Great songs.
