I’m not saying it didn’t work, somewhat, as a montage. These are the Beatles, after all. But the individual songs were slight, if you heard them alone, which luckily hardly ever happens. ---

Listen to Joe Cocker tear into “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jinwicked \* > \*\*That is cold man. Real cold. ☹ \*\* Oh, so now _I’m_ the bad guy? 😛 Every few days I think of this thread again, and a new addition pops into my head. I happen not to care for the song _Maxwell’s Silver Hammer_, I thought I might share that with you. I should also mention, as I have elsewhere on these fora, that a lot of Beatles songs have been tarnished by the movie _Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band_, starring the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton. Among the ungodly travesties this cataclysm of a film contains: _Strawberry Fields I Want You (She’s So Heavy) Get Back When I’m Sixty Four Fixing A Hole_ (as performed by George Burns. Yes, that George Burns.) I swear to God, I am obsessed with how bad that movie is. And just hearing the badly-covered songs will not make you truly appreciate the badness, it’s the _context_ that makes it so horrifying. You have to actually watch it to understand. ---

But Aerosmith’s “Come Together” fairly rocks. ---

I can never listen to “Long and Winding Road” all the way through. But, “Within you, Without you” is a damn good song, I care not what you say. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/single-worst-beatles-song/167152.md?page=5)
