    Hey Hey hey...bulldogs . I hope you enjoy the video. This was by FAR the most irritating to make not the original video but this Frankenstein's monster it ended up being. The only alternative was to have you stare at picture which is just lazy video making. This was supposed to be an easy relaxing video to make and it ended up being really frustrating and I'm not super happy with it but It's not a big deal. I did my best, what else could I do lol. So I do hope you enjoy it and thanks for getting us to the award level! I'm working on a greeeeeeaaaat ten interesting facts script right now and it is awesome. Hint hint; its a George Harrison beatles composistion. i i hope hope you'll like it.

      One of the greatest music videos ever made.. Sadly not many care about these anymore...Wonderful effort finding all the references. Did you think about the line in the song 'Blackbird' saying "You were only waiting for this moment to be free". That could mean the bird itself was a blackbird?

    The ukulele/banjolele man is a reference to George Formby, along with the phrase ‘turned out nice again’ which was formby’s signature catchphrase, Formby was a massive influence on Lennon, along with formby being from near Liverpool. Fun fact, Formby enlisted himself into the British Army during the war and played for the soldiers in France to boost morale

    • @pamvanallen3919
      @pamvanallen3919 3 года назад +3

      Formby was a huge influence on George, who played the uke on "Free as a Bird." George asked to be the man onstage playing the uke in the video, but the director, Joe Pytka, refused his request. I consider that a bad call in an otherwise flawless piece of art.

    The Beatles and Electric Light Orchestra are my 2 favorite bands ever but It took 4 Beatles and George Martin to accomplish what Jeff Lynne has done musically all by himself. Of course, by popularity, and commercially, The Beatles are no 1 but musically Jeff Lynne rules. As a huge Beatles fan, I have to admit Jeff Lynne is so much better with Harmonies, Orchestration, as an incredible Producer, singer and songwriter. Lynne produced the Beatles last project and also produced George, Ringo and Paul individually for some of their best albums, Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!! Please Tour in 2022!!!
