That's also on the White Album. I wonder if you've never heard the whole album through? It was two discs, and had tons of songs on it.
Btw, there was one song that I learned on guitar and Blackbird was it. ☺️

Here's another I love from the White Album, although this is not the album version. The realization that not everything can be found on YouTube is hitting me like a ton of bricks lately. :evil: Making Kitty angry! You won't like her when she's angry! :lol: No, but really.

That's an interesting one—it's done in 20's style isn't, especially the acoustic sounds and the background vocal add-ins.

I like it because it refers to the girl being a star of the silver screen 💝

Have you heard this song Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite? Unfortunately, the original is not on YouTube, but a version that Paul McCartney did on his own is! What do you think of the lyrics? John found a circus poster from 1843 in an antique shop and based the song on it. This wiki page has some very interesting info!

No, I'd not heard of that one before. It is an intriguing sounding song. I couldn't quite understand the words, though. I'll have to listen to it again when I'm not crunching a carrot. :)

I found myself singing this song for no particular reason at all today. The Beatles, Octopus's Garden. 🐙

Wow - a Beatles song on YouTube that hasn't been pulled? :lol:

This is actually a cover by the Beatles cover band The Beats, but wow did they nail the band to a tee here! This vid also demonstrates why I love animation.

Yes, isn't it crazy how hard it is to find an original Beatles song on YouTube! What a chore!
