20 Jan 16 - 11:24 AM (#3766950) Subject: RE: Unintended folk music humor From: cnd I have a songbook entitled "The Best of The Beatles" with their 92 most popular songs. Some funny things happen when you put their songs in alphabetical order, including pearls like: "All You Need is Love/And I Love Her/Back in the USSR," "Dear Prudence/Do You Want to Know A Secret?/Drive My Car/Eight Days A Week," "Here Comes the Sun/Here, There and Everywhere" "Hey Jude/I Am the Walrus/I Feel Fine" "Please Please Me/PS I Love You" "Revolution/Run for your Life" "She Loves You/She's A Woman" "We Can Work It Out/When I'm Sixty-Four" "While My Guitar Gently Weeps/With A Little Help From My Friends" "The Word/Yellow Submarine/Yes It Is" "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away/Your Mother Should Know" But perhaps the best one is "I Saw Her Standing There/I Should Have Known Better/I Want to Hold Your Hand/I Will/I'll Cry Instead/I'll Follow the Sun/I'm a Loser/I'm Happy Just to Dance With You" |

21 Jan 16 - 01:14 PM (#3767229) Subject: RE: Unintended folk music humor From: GUEST, DTM The Everly Brothers had a hit entitled "The Price of Love" and the B side was "It Only Costs A Dime". Oddly enough they were in the same key. We cut and pasted the two title soundbites together just for a bit of fun. |
