Line 1:
{{work}}
* '''Note: The whole discussion for "Imagine" has been moved to [[John Lennon
* Why do the Beatles spend a good 4 minutes at the end of "Hey Jude" singing "Nah, nah-nah, na-na-na-nah, na-na-na-nah, heyyy Juuuuuuuude" over and over? (And over and over and over and over...)
** Reportedly it wasn't supposed to last that long, but they just kind of got into a thing and kept going.
Line 12:
* The entire point of ''Michelle'' is that the singer has "fallen in love" with a French girl, and can't tell her because he doesn't speak French. If you can't carry on a conversation with the object of your affections, it's probably not real love.
** According to [[That Other Wiki]] the song is meant to be a parody of the French style of music. It's not serious.
** And if it ''was'' serious, it could get [[Hand Wave|handwaved]] as [[Love At
** One of the beautiful - if [[Your Mileage May Vary|divisive]] - things about Paul's songwriting is that lyrics were often an afterthought. (John usually did just the opposite, explaining his sometimes musically underwhelming songs with deep, emotional lyrics vs. Paul's beautifully melodic [[Silly Love Songs]].) This was just the case with "Michelle": it started out as an instrumental done [[In the Style Of]] Chet Atkins and the [[Love At First Sight]] lyrics came later. So the lyrics aren't really even that relevant; they just served to turn a wordless Chet Atkins parody into a lovely imitation of the French ballad. [[MST3K Mantra|It is a pop song after all.]]
* The song Day Tripper. Okay, so she's a day tripper, right? That means she goes somewhere for the day and then comes back... so what on earth is she doing with a ONE WAY TICKET?
