OLD 55 6 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) Thanks Lizard, b-f and Diggs ! You're great. Here's mine. These will be my last for some time, so here's a renomination of one of my all time feelgood songs + my third favorite Stones' song (behind Satisfaction and Paint It Black, of course).

edna 6 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) Come Together - The Beatles (Who is Old Flattop?) According to wikipedia, The song's history began with Lennon writing a song for Timothy Leary's failed gubernatorial campaign in California against Ronald Reagan, one which promptly ended when Leary was arrested for possession of marijuana. It was transformed by Lennon into a track with digs at McCartney and Harrison interspersed alongside tales of his Bagism movement with wife Yoko Ono. It was the subject of a lawsuit brought against Lennon by Chuck Berry's music publisher, Morris Levy, due to the fact that one line in "Come Together" closely resembled a line of Berry's You Can't Catch Me: (i.e. The Beatles' "Here come ol' flattop, he come groovin' up slowly" vs. Berry's "Here come up flattop, he was groovin' up with me"). After settling out of court, Lennon promised to record other songs owned by Levy, all of which were released on Lennon's 1975 album Rock 'n' Roll. Perhaps the song refers to the late eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes. Lines such as "hair down to his knees" and "shoot coca-cola" parallel the billionaire's behavior at the time this song was written. The line "Got to be good lookin cause he's so hard to see" could refer to the billionaire's reclusiveness. I couldn´t access the main site, I know there are facts for this song in our Songfacts...

The Seeker 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2006 You're sure to get ten points from me, Chris. Old Red Wine is my favourite ballad by the Who. (even though ballad sounds a bit too Meat Loaf for my liking) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
