See next post for the classic cartoon version

[Citizen X]

Eight Days a Week: Beatles: 1965

The cartoon version which brings another aspect to bubble-gum pop

[Citizen X]

“And I love Her.” The Beatles: 10 July 1964
This song has some of the most tantalizing guitar work I’ve ever heard!
In my opinion, the whole concept of ‘Bubble-Gum,’ pop started with the Beatles!
“And I Love Her" is a song recorded by The Beatles, written mainly by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon–McCartney). The fifth track on their third album, A Hard Day's Night, it was released 20 July 1964 with "If I Fell" as a single by Capitol Records in the United States, reaching #12 in Billboard.
The Beatles performed "And I Love Her" just once outside Abbey Road Studios; on 14 July 1964 they played it for an edition of the BBC's Top Gear radio show, which was broadcast two days later.”[1]

I proudly give you ‘And I love her,’ The Beatles..

“I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her.”

Still in a Beatles self indulgent manic mood Notice how George Harrison caresses his guitar, a show of sheer confidence for a song that required real guitar skill

[Blurock]

You guys rock big time!

Buddy Holly, the Beatles, the great pioneers of pop music. Listen to Buddy Holly again; no big amps, basic electric guitar, no fuzz box, wah wah pedal or loop machine. Wow!

Those guys still performed in suits and had respect for their audience. The Beatles experimented with music and different instruments and sounds. Their Sergeant Pepper album is still one of the best engineered ever.

Their early music was clean, all about boy/girl, love, adolescence. Much better than hip hop and (c)rap played on the radio these days.

[Citizen X]

The Manhattans: Hurt: 1975

“Macho, Macho Man!” This concept is certainly not manifest from the greatest singers of all time!

“You made a promise, and you broke it,
He could never love you like I do,
Oh I feel so bad

Hurt, to think that you lied to me
Hurt, way down deep inside of me
You said your love was true and we'd never part,
Now you've found someone new,
And it breaks my heart,
I'm hurt,

Hurt, much more than you'll ever know,
Hurt, because I still love you so,
But even though you hurt me,
Like no-one else could do,
I would never, never hurt you

(Even though you've taken you love from me,
Baby I want you back, I'll never hurt you)

I'll never hurt you”

[Citizen X]

Roy Orbison: Crying: 1961

“I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello"
Aww you wished me well, you couldn't tell

That I'd been cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Then you said "so long". left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying cry-i-ing
It's hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying
I thought that I was over you but it's tru-ue, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do-o-o-o
For you don't love me and I'll always be
Cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, cry-i-i-ing
Yeah crying, crying, o-o-o-o-ver you”

[Citizen X]

Human: The Pretenders: 1999

All is fair is love and war! If love was a war, it’s you who has won…

“I play a good game,
But not good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
But I had you fooled enough
To take me on
If love was a war, it's you who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...

Chorus:
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I thought you'd come through,
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart
See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside
And the damage is done...
Chorus

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside”

Hey Vanash, Shot for the good music. Can I hit up some good new jamms on here, or should we strart a new "Coool modern music" thread. huh huh, what you think?

[Citizen X]

The Corrs: What can I do?: 1998

“I haven't slept at all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better
If I don't try and I don't hope

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there

No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying

Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just gonna let it fly

What can I do to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there.”

That Thing You Do! The Wonders: 1996

“You,
Doin' that thing you do,
Breaking my heart into a million pieces,
Like you always do
And you,
Don't mean to be cruel,
You never even knew about the heartache,
I've been going through
Well I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do

I,
Know all the games you play,
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that,
You'll be mine someday
'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
'Cause I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do

I don't ask a lot girl,
But I know one thing's for sure,
It's the love I haven't got girl,
And I just can't take it anymore

'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
Cause it hurts me so just to see you go,
Around with someone new,
And if I know you you're doin' that thing,
Every day just doin' that thing,
I can't take you doing that thing you do.”

Love Fool: The Carnigans: 1996

“Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do!

So I cry, I pray and I beg

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...

Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
So I cry, and I pray for you to
Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Leave me, leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...

Anything but you...

Love me, love me (Say that you love me)
Fool me, fool me (Go on and fool me)
Love me, love me (I know that you need me)
I can't care 'bout anything but you”

Hey Vanash, Shot for the good music. Can I hit up some good new jamms on here, or should we strart a new "Coool modern music" thread. huh huh, what you think?

I think we should keep this one as 'Old School Music is cool!' BUT that we should create a brand new thread 'Coool modern music,'(I'll give you the honours of starting it!!) I actually listen to the very latest music, the very latest kwaito, that is!!! I love kwaito and I buy these cd's fresh from the shelf!

Start a separate thread 'Coool modern music'
