Please Mr.Postman - Marvelettes & The Beatles

[deejaytonytoodope]

i think the cragga version is better i had it on in the car and my mom was like whoa i cdont remember it doin this haha u guys should all go check it out

[1GodOnlyOne]

This version is awesome, and so is the Beatles' version.

It's pretty obvious that John was imitating this singer's style, in his version.

I'm going to go listen to the other two versions now! lol

[lilchatterfox]

The Marvelettes version has to be the best. I'm pretty sure its the original version.

Please don't get mad at me if I'm wrong.

[lilchatterfox]

My pop-pop had my dad burn cds of his music for him then he'd listen to them on his new cd player and this song was one of my favorites. He made me learn it and I sang it for him right there in the middle of the living room. ^_^ I'd always get better at it every passing year. And he'd be so proud.

[multiedge22]

i hate the beatles but i like the marvelettes

[NikkiDaebak]

The music from back in the day was legit badass haha ^_^

people who say very bad stuff about carpenters, have a bit of respect for Karen Carpenter who was one the most respected and loved woman singer of hollywood.

[SammiWRgirl]

My school choir is singing this:)

[sk8lars2]

Mr postman DUBSTEP FTW,

[KingAssmar]

Please please mister Po-whoa-whoa-ost man. Best version fucking ever. No one else should even try this shit again, it's been perfected.

[dlphcoracl]

@KingAssmar I couldn't agree more with you. This is what it's supposed to sound like, namely, a lovestruck teen age girl anxiously waiting for a letter from her boyfriend as if her life depends on it --- not a soulless rocker from a British group (Beatles) that knows nothing about this genre.

[PunchingBabyz]

Dubstep remix is better

[TheEscapeReality]

Don't Wrong Me.

But the Beatles are my favourite musical act/group of all time and when it comes to this song, I got to say I prefer the Marvelettes version of Please Mr. Postman.

I Think it is because of the sound of it for it's time and just it's so much more originality when you listen to it.

[dilschan]

das lied ist hammer

[cybercop112]

the beatles version is way better

[andreasheinz]

Waaay better but Beatles. I love Beatles but not this somng plz.

[rdahlem]

This is one of those songs I used to go back and forth on.

I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I'm a huge fan of Motown as well. Ultimately, while the Beatles were arguably the greatest ROCK band of the early 60s (then all the other genres later on), you cant beat MOTOWN at the Motown sound.

Then again, I'm only 24 so I can't make a statement on impact, only what my impressions now are.

[sp832001]

love this version

[SKSlcobbz]

dubstep version is well good :)

[nicoboy345]

@SKSlcobbz indeed :)

[MrVB6]

@SKSlcobbz Yeah, Cragga's one. Epic win that is.

[madelyneee]

this is a fail. BEATLES ARE EPIC. no one should remake anything by them.

[sydneysmooth21]

@madelyneee LOL are you stupid or something? this is the original version! the beatles copied it! read the facts sweetie: "Please Mr. Postman" is the debut single by The Marvelettes for the Tamla (Motown) label, notable as the first Motown song to reach the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. The single achieved this position in late 1961!

[trademark1874]

Why do you mention Beatles in the song title?

[mandavs]

I like this. Co mám rád. Miluju! I love this!

[24liam24]

Both great but I prefer The Beatles version.

[IBeGodly]

Like what Michael Jackson said, when you're going to remake a song your version has to be better than the original. Honestly, the Beatles' version of this was a bomb.

[aa25007]

The better version bottomline is The Beatles.

[blutocampbell]

The Marvelettes and The Beatles versions are hell of better than The Carpenters.

[donghyunwon610]

hell ya

[THEtinybrat24]

The carpenters annoy me, The Beatles are the best!

[blutocampbell]

You got that right.I hate The carpenters

[THEtinybrat24]

the Carpenters are UNBEARABLE. Beatles and this version are the best ;)

[sexcylatina09]

@blutocampbell

u ever hear of hella?

qoshhhh.

[st0neagecows]

@blutocampbell i think we can all agree that all the versions are a fuck load better than the saturdays

[tommygunz63]

I love both versions but their is so much more soul in the marvelettes version.

[fanofalice2]

i agree, all three versions of the song have a different feeling. marvellettes had soul, beatles made the song sad, and the carpenters made the song happy. i personally only like the carpenters version though.

[plainplainhouse45]

i love the beatles but mavlelletes were b3tt3r

[CandyChic2468]

NOTICED THAT TO. WHITEBOYEDMAND

[Have2LoveBeatles]

I prefer The Beatles but it is such a great song ;]

[sparkle1309]

i love this song and im 13 haha

[johnlennon1997]

so...

[whiteboyedmand]

um shouldnt it be mr postman by the marvelettes? not & the beatles?

[luvureally]

The Marvelettes give the song soul, as it was intended to have. Beatles were good pop singers, but definitely not "soul" brothers.

[bewaremylove]

I played this great song over & over & over and your right about The GREAT Beatles, but you have to remember one thing, That the great John Lennon's vocal is great in The B's version. Just blast it & you will hear it!

[luvureally]

bewaremylove if you prefer a pop version of this wonderful song, then I guess you will like the beatles version. But I prefer the funk and the grit that the GREAT Marvelettes give it as was intended.

[bewaremylove]

Your right about The M's version, but I'm right that John Lennon has a strong vocal. The Beatles had Rubber Soul! (ha ha ha) Did you ever hear The Beatles cover of 'Slow Down'? I dare u to blast that one? I do wish that The B's played the 'Mr. Postman' live on their '65 tour. In '64 they played (the also great) 'Twist & Shout'.

[luvureally]

I wasn't "blasting". But as I stated, they do good pop covers of r&b songs. They are not soul singers so they do not have that gospel feel, (which is the back bone of soul music) so they make nice pop covers of soul music.

[bewaremylove]

I reallyluvu four that. Your right again.

[luvureally]

Thank u for a nice little debate w/o name calling and swearing.

[bewaremylove]

Your welcome, but I must be honest, I lead the league in 'that' sometimes.

[rmpfrota]

I prefer the Beatles`s version!

(Prefiro a versão dos Beatles)

[luvureally]

Some people prefer the pop version. Myself I prefer it with soul.

[frolickfriendster]

well as much as the beatles are my idols,

i do prefer the carpenters' version :)

[myautumnskies]

awh this song is so cute

[beatlesfan1960]

there must be some words today in days oh yea poop

[beatlesfan1960]

there must be some words today in days oh yea poop

[bboycash94]

[davesharon5747]

[lunalovin]

Oh Yeah

[WindOfSolitude]

[bluesjan65]

[inuyashamyhusband]

[rumilnenmacil]

I prefer the beatles version.. John voice is better but this version is good too ^-^

1 saludo

[TaniaG96]

[rumilnenmacil]

[brendansavage]

Marvin Gaye played the drums on this recording...motown is the shit

[28gramzz]

the best

[Fulgrim88]

This is actually the singing part of the marvelettes mixed with the instrumental part of the beatles.

Nice editing

[live4motown]

All I here is 100% marvelettes no beatles.

[farbag2023]

The beatles also so this very well but the original song by the marvelletes is better

[ashleyrules00085]

please little rascal

[LedZeppelinSx66]

this is actually oringial song-the beatles just re-made it instead of boyfreind they used girlfriend

[Rancyz]

+D+D+D+

[TechnoPath99]

@LedZeppelinSx66 Obviously!

[haloalternative]

Dont hate the Marvelettes. The Beatles were probably influenced by them. They quoted they were influenced my lots of black artist like Chuck Berry.

[HmmstheWord]

I knew someone else also did this song! The Marvelets and The Beatles Rock :)

[ichasedorlandobloom]

i hate these people

[eijisan0]

You know that the Marvellettes did the song first, right? As far as I'm concerned, nothing can beat the original.

[lazrpo1nt3r]

Why do you HATE them? While I prefer the Beatles version to this, there's no reason to hate the Marvelettes because they did it different... And if they didn't record it, the Beatles wouldn't have either.

[puppylover4ever]

I don't care about which version I just love the song! It's cool how they put both beatles and mavelettes in this vid.

Thanks Rancyz!

[xxxHolic]

I also like the Beatles cover more

[lazrpo1nt3r]

Liking the Beatles' cover is one thing, hating the original band altogether for no reason is just stupid. Glad to hear your opinion, but ichasedorlandobloom has some horrible logic.

[fillweb]

The video part is a bit too minimalist for me.
