Songs and Their "Back Stories"

 
 
Reply Mon 20 Mar, 2006 10:53 pm
There is the story that during recording of the Let It Be album, Paul McCartney used to stare directly at Yoko Ono when he sang these words:

"Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman
but she was another man
All the girls around her said she's got it comin'
But she gets it while she can
Oh, Get Back! Get Back!
Get Back to where you once belonged!"

...which would really annoy John Lennon.

Anybody got any good back stories to some of your favorite songs?

I Don't Like Mondays

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload.
And nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's going to make them stay at home.
And daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was as good as gold.
And he can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.

The telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a waiting world.
And mother feels so shocked,
Father's world is rocked,
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl.
Sweet 16 ain't so peachy keen,
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat.
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?

Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.

All the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while.
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die.
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain crackles,
With the problems and the how's and why's.
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die?

Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
Tell me why?
I don't like Mondays.
I want to shoot
The whole day down.

I checked out that "I don't like monday's song"
Pretty beautiful actually
Pain always has the capability to make something that's great
It's just sad their has to be suffering to make people see that their is meaning in life
Never know what ya got till it's gone..
