The Lyrics
About how short The Beatles songs tend to be.
What is with The Beatles?
Why don't they keep singing until you skip the song?
Most like it different
Folks like Michael Jackson tend to run a bit too long.
They don't stretch it out.
They don't stretch it out.
Don't get tired of playing.
Each one of these songs, "Cos they aren't as long as some would like
Think of what they're saying
They don't stretch it out and get it right to the song's point.
They don't stretch it out
They don't stretch it out
Song is very short, and there's no time
For singing and music, my friend.
At least it is not a waste of time,
And it's not nearly as boring.
They make sense in lyrics,
Other singers tend to sing gibberish with no plot
You might like it that way
There's no point though to yell and adlib a whole lot.
They don't stretch it out
They don't stretch it out
Song is very short, and there's no time
For singing and music, my friend.
At least it is not a waste of time,
And it's not nearly as boring.

"They make sense in lyrics", hmm, most of the time. I have to disagree on the boring part though, at least a few Beatles songs are boring (all great bands have had at least a few boring songs). Ad-libbed vocals though can get irritating though, especially when trying to do a complete parody of a song that has a ton of them (ie OSs like Aerosmith's "Amazing"-it's an amazing song in the fact that for nearly a minute of the song I can't understand what the heck ST is singing).
555, I wasn't able to listen to the song on the site I went to(I think the library cut the it off, I was able to listen to songs from there before), I tend to like songs that are difficult to understand(like from Nirvana), but I can see how others like things to make since too, very enjoyable parody here. ^___^
