“Old Brown Shoe” if you caught me on a George day. “And Your Bird Can Sing” if you caught me on a Lennon/McCartney day. “Act Naturally” if you caught me on a cover day. ---

Obla di obla da or Octopus’ Garden. What can I say, I think they are the Beatles’ most jovial tunes, don’t need some lyricy song to remind me of their profundity… I can at least use these songs as a temper against the hardship and depression of never hearing any of their songs ever again. ---

> [@Chicagojeff](#): > > "I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath… If I had to only listen to one Beatles _line_ ever again, I’d pick that one – it basically encapsulates everything great about that style of singing. ---

> [@Labdad](#): > > “I Saw Her Standing There”… Yeah, if I can only have one Beatles song, it’s because I’m stuck on a tiny deserted South Pacific island. So I’d need to keep my spirits up. (And, yes, I’d be kareoke’ing along with my palm-frond Hoffner bass… to the delight of my lemur audience) ---
