[signpo890]

Yes, there is no way that Ringo was just the daft drummer. He is a very talented man having to live in three huge shadows thanks for a nostalgic post.

[khlavkalash1]

[azarouati]

[fruitsbasketsomah10]

THAT BEARD!!

[TheJosapappa1000]

i wishd id was like ringo some day and played drums

[YUR1402]

Essa musica e muito boa =D

[Flingadingding]

That's George Harrison on the slide?! If he ripped it like that in The Beatles, I would've like them more. And if he can play slide that well, why did The Beatles have to import Eric Clapton on As My Guitar Gently weeps?

[steve58502]

@Flingadingding Yes, that is George Harrison playing the slide. Part of bringing Clapton in on While My Guitar was to have John & Paul sort of fall in line & be on their best behavior as a guest was in their midst. That was a large part of it. George's playing on this song shows he certainly could handle the demand of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

[rosco01coltrane]

this is funny

[catseatcheese]

Have loved Ringo for 45 years, but I've always thought this vid is dumb.

[TheNamron55]

Ringo viewing Lennons Pad at Ascot?

[kliousoff]

@TheNamron55 Ringo bought Lennon´s house in Ascot in 1973

[steve58502]

Smokin' hot lead guitar by George Harrison.

[MrWayForward]

Epic Beard + Epic Guitar Riffage = EPIC WIN !

[bananacreampie4]

I LOVE when he is running to Frankenstein

[bananacreampie4]

His beard is the best! in this video!

[werepancake]

one person got eaten by the monster in the video

[werepancake]

one person got eaten by the monster in the video

[babyinblack]

lmao this promo clip is so cute :P Ringo!! :D him and the (Frankenstein?) monster are best friendss <3

[DominickFontana]

Great song. Good ol' Ringo.

[TheSmashingPumkinz]

Did you guys know that the Boogaloo of this song was Paul McCartney?

[Arun999]

1 person is paul mccartney

[drkam6]

@Arun999 Frankenstein = Macca? And at Tittenhurst, Lennon's home? If so, whoa!

[mexistache760]

Why does this only have 14,684 views? This guy is a former Beatle he should have atleast 100,000 views just based on that.

[WizardGlik]

I miss Ringo walking around searching for stuff.

[DJMdalia]

Take me Out's beat sounds a bit like this song's lol. I miss Ringo :/

[mrmjb1960]

The cover of the Original 45 had a Stock Photo of Boris Karloff,in his Frankenstein makup,smoking a cigarette! The Apple on the label was coloured Poison Blue,I remember!

[megaxer]

take me out? 

[uctis]

love this song...but i just have to say that Ringo looks like a sasquatch in this video...

[kja427]

This song, from what I understand, was about his fights with Paul McCartney. I guess the fights they had after The Beatles broke up were really cutthroat. I wonder if they made up.

[Caveira138]

@kja427 Thats a common misconception but he got the idea from Marc Bolan of T. Rex fame Marc used the phrase boogaloo alot while talking.

[violatress]

@Caveira138 Exactly, why should Ringo attack Macca like that? Paul was writing stuff for him on "Ringo" and generally helping.

[keaton1895]

@violatress George wrote more songs on that album and Paul wrote one song and John I think wrote one song.

[432F01]

Mal Evans as "Boogaloo" if memory serves............

[PetCemetaryDude]

Gonna see him tommorow.

Real music by real man.

[terry1919]

wow this from the 1970's and I haven't herd it since I lived in Indianapolis

[LadyMerton]

this truly a Lost Oldie- no one ever plays it

[therockandlover]

ringo is like  a childrien....

[calhithard]

Dr. Frankenstein ain't in this one.

[SgtTravisBickle]

I read in an old book that Ringo invented The Mullet and gets royalties whenever someone gets that haircut. Awesomesauce!

[chemicalblowout12345]

I think I just raped the replay button xD

[bluemeanie81]

is the boogaloo supposed to be paul mccartney?

[drabboo]

@bluemeanie81 I have that. and also the rumors that Billy Shears Campbell or Phill ackrill( Depending on what PID site you goto ) Had massive cosmetic surgery the Frankenstein monster would-be-Paul, if you beleive the PID SITES.

[MiriamSaka17]

Am I the only one who finds 2:06 to 2:10 to be a bit.. creepy?

[cazzie1960]

great nostalgia x

[cbak12sg]

This reached no 2 in the UK, and was as close as Ringo got to a solo no 1 here. What I really don't get is why the superior Photograph only reached no 8. At least the Americans had good taste, as that song reached no 1 in the Hot 100

[FabFM]

@cbak12sg The American charts are so hyped towards airplay, even back then. At least a Number 2 in the UK is secured by record buyer support and not corporate politics!

Many rubbish records have made it to number 1 on either side of the Atlantic, many great records stalled outside the top 10, commercial success should never be confused with musical greatness.

[soniclily]

LOVE IT ! Takes me back to better times......

[MaceMn]

Of the four Beatles I think Ringo would be the most fun to party with.

[RingeorgeMcLennon]

@MaceMn before or after giving up drink? ;)

[MaceMn]

@RingeorgeMcLennon

"No no no no, I don't drink it no more.

I'm tired of waking up on the floor.

No thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze.

And then it makes it hard to find the door."

I was thinking coke!

[thegame3623]

@MaceMn no paul hes hot not too shy and can control his anger, ringos too shy although i do LOVE drummers. hes not daring

[bananacreampie4]

@MaceMn IKR! :)

[TheFpuff]

I miss Ringo's eyes.

[MickeyLove01]

@TheFpuff so does he, they're like piss holes in the snow nowadays

[TheFpuff]

@MickeyLove01 Ew.

[CheerleaderKatiexx]

@TheFpuff miss? they're still as georgous as always! :)

[anorak64]

It's that many years since I heard this, thanks for posting it !

[harrystad]
