    John Lennon and charisma

    Twist & Shout (Beatles version): 1963

    John Lennon remains one of my favourite artists of all time. I revisit his music on a regular basis.

    If you had the Queen of England as one of your audience members and you showed a little attitude, then- you really got what it takes i.e. the right stuff!!
    In a live performance of Twist Shout, the Beatles really did have the Queen as one of the audience members and John Lennon, as only Lennon, could, remarked as follows:

    "For our last number, I’d like to ask your help:
    Will the people in the cheaper seats, clap your hands?

    And, the rest of you, will you just rattle your jewellery?"

    (reference to Queen and the rich),


    “Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
    Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
    Cmon cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now, (come on baby)
    Come on and work it on out. (work it on out)

    Well, work it on out, honey. (work it on out)
    You know you look so good. (look so good)
    You know you got me goin, now, (got me goin)
    Just like I knew you would. (like I knew you would, oooh!)

    Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
    Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
    Cmon, cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now, (come on baby)
    Come on and work it all out. (work it all out, oooh!)

    You know you’re a twisty little girl, (twist little girl)
    You know you twist so fine. (twist so fine)
    Come on and twist a little closer, now, (twist a little closer)
    And let me know that you're mine. (let me know you’re mine oooh)

    Ahhhhhhhhhh(root) Ahhhhhhhhhh(third) Ahhhhhhhhhh(fifth) Ahhhhhhhhhhh(seventh) Ahhhhh Ahhhhh Woah, Yeah

    Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
    Twist and shout. (twist and shout)
    Cmon, cmon, cmon, cmon, baby, now, (come on baby)
    Come on and work it on out. (work it on out, wuu!)

    You know you’re a twisty little girl, (twist little girl)
    You know you twist so fine. (twist so fine)
    Come on and twist a little closer, now, (twist a little closer)
    And let me know that you're mine. (let me know you’re mine, )

    Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
    Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
    Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)

    In memory of Alvin Lee. I'm goin' home.

    Never cared about the fame - only wanted to play. Really enjoyed jamming.

    All those "modern music enthusiasts who think their Ryan Seacrest/Simon Cowell American Idol bullshitters are worth a flying f#*k in your Bieber fantasy worlds-THIS is #$#@' butt pumpin', jive ass kick ass rock 'n' roll and how it was meant to be played. rap is shit, hip-hop is shit, and all the phony BS artists lined up from here to the sun cannot touch this real music if their lives depended on it. Listen to Jagger blow harp on "Midnight Rambler." Then kiss my retro butt.


    I just could not help but smile when I saw this, but its true. There are some youngsters that make good music, but rap and hip hop will never be. This is music for the ages. Pour yourself a nice glass of red wine. Put on the headphones, close your eyes and enjoy....

    My life: Billy Joel: 1978

    Click image for larger version. 

Name:	My_Life_-_Billy_Joel.jpg 
Views:	205 
Size:	24.3 KB 
ID:	3478


    My Life is a song with attitude and I love the classics which demonstrate attitude. This video is rare and is a classic!!

    “The song begins with drums and electric bass, followed by a keyboard riff. The riff is also used as a fill between verse and chorus sections and is also played at the end. The section order is intro-verse-fill-chorus-bridge-v-f-c-b-solo-c-outro.”[1]
    Chicago members Peter Cetera and Donnie Dacus performed the backing vocals and sang along with Billy Joel during the bridge and in the outro ("Keep it to yourself, it's my life")."


    “Got a call from an old friend
    We used to be real close
    Said he couldn't go on the American way
    Closed the shop, sold the house
    Bought a ticket to the West Coast
    Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

    I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
    I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
    I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
    Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone

    I never said you had to offer me a second chance
    (I never said you had to)
    I never said I was a victim of circumstance
    (I never said)
    I still belong, don't get me wrong
    You can speak your mind
    But not on my time

    They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place
    Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else
    Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
    Either way it's okay to wake up with yourself

    I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
    I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
    I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
    Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone


    I never said you had to offer me a second chance
    (I never said you had to)
    I never said I was a victim of circumstance
    (Of cirumstance)
    I still belong, don't get me wrong
    You can speak your mind
    But not on my time

    I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
    Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone

    (Keep it to yourself, it's my life)”

    Nobody told me there'd be days like these: John Lennon: 1980

    This song was released after John Lennon’s death. He started work on it but didn’t live to see it released. Yoko Ono finished this song and released it in the early 80’s..
    Nobody told ME that there would be days just like today!!

    “The line "Nobody told me there'd be days like these..." is in contrast to the old adage "My mother told me there'd be days like this.”[1]



    “Everybody's talking and no one says a word
    Everybody's making love and no one really cares
    There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
    Always something happening and nothing going on
    There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot
    They're starving back in China so finish what you got

    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Strange days indeed -- strange days indeed

    Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
    Everyone's a winner and nothing left to lose
    There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
    Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
    Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
    There's a place for us in the movies you just gotta lay around

    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama

    Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
    Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
    There's a UFO over New York and I ain't too surprised

    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama.”

    Like a dog hanging on your lead
    I'm in a spin you know
    Shaking on string you know

    I'm gonna dance the night away
    You make me feel like dancing
    I'm gonna dance the night away
    You make feel like dancing
    I feel like dancing

    Quarter to four in the morning
    I ain't feeling tired no, no, no, no, no
    Just hold me tight and leave on the light
    'Cause I don't want to go home
    You put a spell on me
    I'm right where you want me to be

    You make me feel like dancing
    I gonna to dance the night away

    And if you'll let me stay
    We'll dance our lives away
    You make me feel like dancing
    I want to dance my life away
    You make me feel like dancing
    I'm want to dance my life away
    You make feel like dancing
    I'm want to dance my life away
    You make feel like dancing
    I'm want to dance my life away.”



    More than I can say: Leo Sayer
    I love you more than I can say
    I'll love you twice as much tomorrow
    Whoa-oh

    I miss you ev'ry single day
    Why must my life be filled with sorrow
