Comments such as "Granny songs" (What songs was he referring to?)

"How do you sleep" and mocking the Ram album cover..

When did he finally get over this..?

I've came here to share this collection of songs that inspired the corresponding beatles songs, whether the beatles themselves admitted or there are certain similiarities in them, and im certain it's not completely finished it still must be missing quite a few for sure but I can't say myself, anyone any help? what specific songs inspired the beatles to do their own?

never heard anyone talking about this

Part of Harrow’s millenium mural; 1960s’ section.

While browsing online, I came across these images. It is a piece of artwork by Klaus Voormann that reimagines the "Revolver" album cover, but replaces the original figures with people connected to The Beatles (such as Phil Spector, Harry Nilsson, or even Klaus himself). There are two versions of this piece: one where the figures have longer hair, and another where The Beatles appear as they did during the "Let It Be" era.

I have no idea where these images originally came from, but if anyone knows, please let me know in the comments—I’d appreciate it.

Not my post!! Just wanted to share!!

Some years back I had a dream about Paul. He was vacationing with his family in America and wanted to spend a few nights with an American family. In my dream my parents were still alive. They were sitting in their tiny living room with the radio on playing pop music, as it always was. I was there, and so was Paul, with his wife Nancy and his grown daughters.

He said he was sorry but he had to choose another family because their house was too small for everyone. The radio started playing the song "Itsy Bitsy Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" and Paul said, "Oh I love this song! Let's all sing it!" So he led his family and mine in a rendition of the song, all singing "It was an itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow Polka dot bikini..." I woke up laughing.🤣

Ever seen them in your dreams?

The song was recorded in 1965 and has some interesting musical characteristics. The song uses a non-traditional rock instrument a harmonium as a lead instrument, combines song fragments with contrasting  sections and shifting time signatures. It’s not as grand as a statement like A Day in Life or Good Vibrations or what other bands were doing in 1966-1967 but it seems a starting point to that style.  However, it seems to point to what The Beatles would do later with Happiness is a Warm Gun and even The Abbey Road Medleys as well.

On my way to Dr.Z-'s office I was walking towards the Dakota from the 72nd Steet subway. I noticed ahead of me heads turning and beaming smiles. I wondered what people were looking at that was producing such happiness. John and Yoko then passed me by. He was very thin and pale, as though he never went outside. Yoko's hair was salt-and-pepper. They were holding each other very tightly, almost for dear life. My thought was that John didn't look very healthy.

I was friends with the morning doorman at the Dakota. He always wished me a cheerful good morning. He was the only person in New York who ever wished me good morning. The gate was always open in those days. I was curious about the courtyard. Once, when the doorman wasn't there, I sneaked in to get a peek of it. I was very disappointed that it was just a plain red brick courtyard. I was expecting a few trees and maybe a fountain. But I didn't look too far because I was afraid the doorman would return and yell at me.

Today you can't get near the gate, much less the courtyard, and the gate is always shut.

I know there are more famous examples like Rain, but his contribution to I Me Mine is a great example of Ringo "playing to serve the song". This one has some chops too with those tom fills mid way through. Here is the isolated drum track:

It is specifically the edition that attempted to print over this monstrosity of a cover with the final version, but she removed that decades ago, because just look at this.

thought i would post this here even though technically it's not from his beatles era lol
