  9. true, but I think I may need to listen to the album again (I always get interrupted when I try to listen to it before, so either I miss some of the songs or only hear those am familiar with)..this time...I've listened to it at one sitting (nangyari kc sira ang phone ko so puro sulat lang on chat or email)...

    for now ang familiar tunes sa akin ang masasabi ko ng gusto ko...*grin* e yung obladi-oblada..isa rin yon na gusto ko

  15. The song that has the weirdest lyrics is "Happiness is a Warm Gun".

    She's not a girl who misses much
    Do do do do do do, oh yeah
    She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
    Like a lizard on a window pane

    The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
    On his hobnail boots
    Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
    Working overtime
    A soap impression of his wife which he ate
    And donated to the National Trust

    I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
    Down to the bits that I left uptown
    I need a fix cause I'm going down
    Mother Superior jump the gun
    Mother Superior jump the gun
    Mother Superior jump the gun
    Mother Superior jump the gun
    Mother Superior jump the gun
    Mother Superior jump the gun

    Happiness (is a warm gun)
    Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
    Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
    Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

    (When I hold you in my arms)
    Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

    And when I feel my finger on your trigger
    Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

    I know nobody can do me no harm
    Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

    Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
    Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

    Happiness (is a warm gun)
    Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

    Yes it is, gun!
    Happiness (is a warm gun)
    Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

    Happiness (is a warm gun)
    is a warm gun, yeeeaahhh!


    Btw, the title of that song was taken from a gun magazine that says just that. A warm gun means a gun that has just been fired and gun afficionados love to shoot their firearms all the time. That makes them happy. Trigger happy.

  16. That is such a great album. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  17. ok, how about going the opposite way...the least you liked...hahaha..but could that be possible..

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks Julius for sharing...

    masyado akong receptive...if I hear the lyrics "I'm so tired", ayon...I get tired...ngek!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Rocky Raccoon is also quite good...apir!

    ReplyDelete
  20. yup..spoiled na ako..maybe if I go to a studio to have an official photograph taken...compare ako ng compare sa resulta to what Sir B would have come up with :-)

    ReplyDelete
  21. thanks for the tidbit... was wondering at first if there was something green in it which I missed..but this explanation is quite logical din...

    ReplyDelete
  22. have to say thanks to Ted for allowing me access to his Beatles songs :-)

  29. thanks Ozz...paiba lang para maiba...

    ReplyDelete
  30. and since Joey shared yung lyrics for the other song...here's the peyborit of Ozz din...

    I look at you all the love there that's sleeping
    while my guitar gently weeps
    I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
    Still my guitar gently weeps.

    I don't know why nobody told you
    how to unfold your love
    I don't know how someone controlled you
    They bought and sold you.


    I look at the world and I notice it's turning
    while my guitar gently weeps
    with every mistake we must surely be learning
    still my guitar gently weeps.

    I don't know how you were diverted
    you were perverted too
    I don't know how you were inverted
    no one alerted you.

    I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
    while my guitar gently weeps
    look at you all...
    still my guitar gently weeps.

  31. Ha, ha, ha. Mas nagutohan ko 'to.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well, at least meron ka nang baseline comparison. Hugz would be hard to beat. You also have to consider how comfortable you would be in front of the camera and with Hugz, that's half the battle.

  33. One of my favorites. It was Eric Clapton who rendered the guitar solo for that song. What a job he did. He tried to recreate that same lick when Paul, Ringo, Eric Clapton, Dhani Harrison, and all their musician friends did a tribute concert for George after he died. Eric came very close but it was so nice to see and hear that staccato piano intro to that song performed LIVE by Paul McCartney.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Mwahahahahahaha...from a head banger to a puppet. What a demotion...LOL

    ReplyDelete
  35. but I cannot imagine si Jack with a tuft of red hair like that....and playing the guitar? *shooks head vigorously*

    ReplyDelete
  36. hehehe..ok, you will be this one, tapos the earlier one..si..si Joey na lang yon...but I have to ask him to grow his hair...hehehe

    ReplyDelete
  37. hehehe...will drag Sir B to the studio of the other photographer and then sabihin ko..Sir B - pwede pong turu-an mo sya pano gawin yung photograph...(pinahirapan pa silang dalawa...hahaha!)

    ReplyDelete
  38. ooh..another goodie...Eric Claption...

    am the type who prefers listening to stringed instruments when nag-re-relax...hence mga acoustic versions of songs I like ang hinahanap ko usually ..

    ReplyDelete

  50. quoting from Ted's music/songs post (where I go to listen to Beatles songs when I am in the mood) -


    The tenth official Beatles' album unofficially named "The White Album" because there is nothing written on the album but the band's name on a white cover. Recorded between May 30, 1968 and October 14, 1968. Rolling Stone magazine ranked "The White Album" as the tenth greatest album of all time in 2003.

    #1 for 8 weeks – debut at #1, plus another 2 weeks at #2; 24 weeks on chart
