What’s Your Favorite Beatles Song?
It wasn't a surprise album drop — hell, none of the music is new — but there is something really nice about having the Beatles available on the streaming sites. You're like, "I really want to listen to 'Oh! Darling' right now" and type type type you are! So to celebrate this early Christmas gift, we want to know what your favorite Beatles song is. Are you a kid who just started getting into weed who loves "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"; a person who's never heard a classic-rock radio station before and is somehow not even a little bit tired of "Hey Jude"; a person whose hand is always cold, so you love "I Want to Hold Your Hand"? Is your favorite song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," because you love shredding so much you ignore how dumb of a title that is? Maybe it's "Octopus's Garden," but if so, how are you reading this, as you're definitely a baby?
Dee Lockett:
"Something" Well, for most of my life it's been "Something." I think I started out adoring "Here Comes the Sun" above all, mostly because it soundtracked one of the best scenes from a childhood movie fave (Parent Trap, hello!). But then it became my gateway drug to the George Harrison songbook, from which I discovered "Something." Turns out, I'd loved that song all along — I just knew it as the James Brown version. They don't tell kids much about George, so I had to learn on my own who was really responsible for what I consider one of music's greatest songs about infatuation, even if it's actually about Krishna. (Whatever, George, it's clearly about Pattie.) I don't need a wedding song; I'd rather just marry this baby.
