Norwegian Wood

[bluepastry]

great song

[thailies]

This is one of my all-time favorites! Please check out my piano cover of it :)

[Geraldolini]

a song about the coming of age.....anyone, anywhere...England, Norway, Viet-Nam.

[5AU5AGEROLL]

This is an absolute masterclass in songwriting. And Lennon probably knocked this song out in less than 10 minutes. Genius.

[ZaxarandFribble]

I'll show you some goddamn Norwegian wood. :D

[pinkerama]

One of their best...and really superb sound quality!

[elidawl]

proud to be norwegian!

[BeatlesMegaMusic]

30 ppl dont have norwegian wood

[jillzi7]

30 people need their hearing and brains checked

[hrh109]

I love the fact there is a Beatles song for every mood possible !

[YellowLickilickyXL]

It's about drugs. It just is. Right from the beginning you can just tell.

[bodsnvimto]

To say you don't like The Beatles is like saying you don't like sunshine.

[ThePaulaMusic]

I'm Norwegian .. tehe :D but the beatles never visited Norway .. :c

[TheBeatlesavedmusic]

What bugs me is how unfaithful John was to Cynthia :/

[Trekkie1237]

You know what bugs me? The "I'm only (insert young age) and I still like the beatles!" people. Don't you realise this music is timeless?!?!

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@Trekkie1237 You know what bugs me, as it were? Idiots on YouTube who make Beatle covers. And then expect us all to indulge them with any kind of sane patience while they screw them up, or just sound like the much less that they could only be. Leave originals alone.

[animascat]

very seductive time.beautiful people beautiful music beautiful ideas powerful and very trippy drugs

[ayanpamshe]

beatles still ln my heart and it will never die their music goes on

[Kestrelcloud]

I JUST read that Paul McCartney was knighted by the Queen of England. I had always wondered why they called him "Sir Paul McCartney"... O.o Wait, what about John and George and Ringo??!!

[LittleMissRexinia]

@Kestrelcloud They were knighted to, but Paul was knighted a second time :) Don't remember why...

[Kestrelcloud]

@LittleMissRexinia Good for them! :D YAY!

[BeatlesMadeTheWorld]

@LittleMissRexinia 'Her Majesty' incident.

[cra072191]

My music teacher was telling me that norwegian wood is a cover for knowing she would!! Fuckin Great!!

[salro99]

oddly enough, this (awful) video seems to be pictures of Vietnam, and a Vietnamese film director made a film called 'Norwegian Wood' (after a japanese novel) last year. Nothing more than a meaningless coincedence, but still... (subtly amazing song, BTW)

[marryex]

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me..

[KevinMartinez09]

Simply yet perfect

[Guigley]

It's nearly impossible, but if I had to pick, I'd choose this as my favorite Beatles song. Love the sitar; pure genius on Harrison's part.

[rckhard778]

this video is the worst video ive ever seen butt great song

[TheSCOTCHSOLACE]

Never heard a Beatles song I did not like (or Love). I expect I never will hear such a song from the Beatles.

[radiozoto2006]

27 people only got plastic, not wood...

[biffbrum1]

Quite simply ..... gorgeous. End of .....

[ThatOlCheesyDude]

Great video...

[happyface4444]

your mom gave me norwegian wood :D

[tirmadewa]

The lyric are very nice..haha not just at the lyric but the band and the song are awesome!!!i Love Beatles becouse the beatles i know lot of song!!

[blueagate]

Boo to all the people that didn't like this. John was marvelous playing acoustic in this track. Why in the hell does a song have to mean something other than a great tune Egads people.

[loppa900]

I love it when he looked around and noticed there wasnt a chair heh heh. how can his "girlfriend" not let him sit down on a *chair*! heh heh *giggle*

[piroschka6]

norwegian wood war das guenstige kiefernholz, was man zur innenausstattung in den 60 igern für appartments of t nutzte, sowas wie ikeakram.....

[delmoniaco]

@GeorgeHarrisonsWife when you say ''the music industry''...Elvis called it ''the business''

[GeorgeHarrisonsWife]

@delmoniaco True.

[Beatlemania196]

@GeorgeHarrisonsWife Can I give that two thumbs up?

[takamisaka]

@GeorgeHarrisonsWife , sei uno dei pochi della tua età che sanno appreziare la buona musica, complimenti, e meno male che ci sono ragazzi come te. ciao.

[DanteDellamorte]

@GeorgeHarrisonsWife You know who also received praises from the queen for their job? The men who did the bloody sunday in belfast.

[mrfudgeyhead]

@DanteDellamorte

Huh, well that certainly is related. You make such a good point. You sure got us.

Fucketh you, this is pure.

Though Lennon and Harrison were more deserving of knighthoods.

[fowter1]

@DanteDellamorte your much more knowledgable then us? jk knew that

[TheMasterSlasher]

@GeorgeHarrisonsWife, it's not that hard to understand, honestly.

[furball6488]

@GeorgeHarrisonsWife id liketo take this as a point. stop saying "im only 13 and..." your not helping peoples anti-youth opinions by offering that you are naturally lesser. youth can be just as insightful.

[DeLimasFreitas]

@GeorgeHarrisonsWife OK, I agree that the Beatles were a revolution in music, but I really doubt that the queen of England has a good taste in music...

[GeorgeHarrisonsWife]

EVEN if you don't like the Beatles, you still HAVE to appreaciate what they did to the music industry! Paul McCartney was knighted by the Queen of England for his contributions to music! Stop saying they suck! They caused a revolution!

I'm only 13 and I get this!

BEATLES FOR EVER!

[nonstoppharaohon]

The Beatles suck. Plain and simple. Englebert Humperdink = greatest artist who ever lived. I am Non-Stop-Pharaohon - The greatest new arist! You will all one day bow to me!

[thebigcatandrew1]

@nonstoppharaohon i bet that the average person does not even know who Englebert Humperdink is. the only reason why you say that the beatles suck is because you have a closed mind and have no idea what true music is.

[warning077]

Why so short? :( This is such a great song.

[zebrology]

Seriously, people, all of you who have not read Haruki Murakami's "Norwegian Wood", read it and this song will reach an all new emotional height for you.

[DarkReiAyanami]

@zebrology thanks for the reccomendation. My mother loves this song, I'll get her the book so she can read it too.

[Mimikryz]

I'm norwegian,and I got wood,hahaha,just had too say it ;D

Great song,really great song :D

[ducx07]

@Mimikryz I'm Vietnamese, and it seems to me that the pictures are about Vietnam.

Great song, though :).

[88wulfgar]

MTV killed music. It took the artists out of music.

[sergaiey]

>>> porn on the sidebar hahahaha

[tokyocityrat]

Knowing she would...Norwegian wood....nice change..

[ElVerdugoDetusSuenoS]

I once had a girl ...or should I said she once had me

[sokopao]

wonderfajl

[ElVerdugoDetusSuenoS]

this song makes my day....I play it on my way to school every day........

[MrLuvTheBeatles]

@ElVerdugoDetusSuenoS Beautiful, isn't it?

[metal1779]

i learned this song on guitar. It's reaaly fun to play

[kougun2007]

Beautiful Norway

Beautiful Japan

Messy China

[cScruffy]

..love the pictorial to accompany this classic from the Beatles..nice work!..

[frankiebloodless]

a perfect song for a perfect book

[McElroyPad]

This song was actually written about the first time the beatles shared a sauna together

[bigpoppa03492]

fun fact: the original title was "i know she wood" but they changed it to "norwegian wood" becuase they though it was to vulgar

[JCBeano]

Nonsense this song had nothing to with Yoko

[MHPSpokane]

This song is Johns' confession to his first wife Julia about his relationship with Yoko Ono.

[JCBeano]

@MHPSpokane

[JCBeano]

@MHPSpokane Nonsense

[thingthing94]

@MHPSpokane How when John didnt meet Yoko until 1966, this song was on the album Rubber Soul released in 1965.

[donth4ck]

This song gave me wood... Norwegian Wood.

[Joke9972]

@Beyondneptoon: no, the heart beat went faster, the message became sound, so it were to be more widely interpreted (interpretation - inter impression - presentation) that's all.

[HayKarJoe]

thinking about what this song is about... it is kinda bad... but still, they wrote about life experiences. and we all go through things like this in our life. and to top it all off, its a great song

[Aliceisamazing1234]

@HayKarJoe This song is pretty much John telling Cynthia that he's cheating on her.

[MrNodzilla]

I wonder when this was last played on Radio 1 ?

[jasonwkeller76]

The Beatles are going to be the best for a very long time. they loved music! It wasn't about the money and it wasn't about hate.

[Aliceisamazing1234]

@jasonwkeller76 well towards the end it was about money.....

[SamKhan95]

I love the Beatles.

But I've lost a lot of respect for John for cheating on his wife so many times, and writing this song (which is about those affairs) while he was on vacation with HIS WIFE.

[IrishlyMad]

dont hate the guys that disliked this......... theyre just nowhere men people! lets give them the chance to find there way!

[shinigami386]

apparently 24 people needs  to die

[Bobmarlyzfriend]

playing this on guitar is EXTREMELY fun!

[PreetySnazzy]

@Bobmarlyzfriend Playing it on Sitar Is even More Fun

[edwardelricfangirl1]

@Bobmarlyzfriend maybe i should learn to play it if it so much fun :D

[Marghi978]

@HoldTheFish51 you are absolutely right. ;)

[Yubera2K10]

@HoldTheFish51 Wow are you 8?

[TheBeatlesPkmnFaan42]

@HoldTheFish51 25, now

[susantash]

@HoldTheFish51 Don't insult gay people!!!

[deeasheman]

[MrsGoth4ever]

[KniCastle]

[tom080955]

[MusicInWords]

Genius'!! Wooo

[betons7]

times when people could just enjoy themselves and understand true art of music.

[francesco712]

wtf why would 24 ppl thumbs down this!!! wat kind of ppl exist in this world!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[yourpineapple1]

@francesco712 YOU KNOW WHAT MUST BE DONE WE MUST KILL JUSTIN BIEBER AND HANNAH MONTANA FOR NEXT HARVEST!!!@!

[captainandthelady]

@francesco712 I would like to think they just hit the wrong button

[MrNodzilla]

They're classed as a boy band because of todays bunch of cunts ? What , is Take That ,Boy ? Zone , N sync etc etc , in the same league !

[BMWinNB]

I've always loved the Beatles, and this has always been one of my favourite songs. :-)

[rdb1975]

The Beatles FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mindlessprimitive]

I don't know what to think of it, it's not my favorite, but isss soso

[beatlesfangirl122]

So she makes him sleep in the bath and then finally in the last verse I had this idea to set the Norwegian wood on fire as revenge, so we did it very tongue in cheek. She led him on, then said, "You'd better sleep in the bath." In our world the guy had to have some sort of revenge ... so it meant I burned the fucking place down ....-wikipedia

[cookiemonster14029]

@beatlesfangirl122 i dont know whats worse, that you get you info from wikipedia, or that yoy think he would burn some ones house down for lack of sexual attention.

[beatlesfangirl122]

@cookiemonster14029 okay...?

[Freezinghot2]

@cookiemonster14029

Thats actually a pretty commonly accepted meaning to the last stanza.

John was known to be a pretty promiscuous and sexual guy, possibly even having sex with men at times. Its honestly not farfetched to think he would do something like that.

[gatorschaf]

John is a arson.He burnt her down.

[ApEx1HP]

Sergio Mendes cover > Original Version

[beatlesroc123456789]

I started to cry. Knowing people hate The Beatles. Fuck them. The Beatles are better than anyone else in this world. Beatles till the damn end.

[rpgwarlord2012]

@beatlesroc123456789 I wont give this a thumbs up because itw worth 5 thumbs up

[PoplovPanda]

@beatlesroc123456789 Beatles are also the godfathers of Pop, Rock, Punk and Metal.

[AttackingRainbow]

@PoplovPanda Umm... can you show me a song by The Beatles that seems like it was Metal in any way?

[PoplovPanda]

@AttackingRainbow im not talking about death or trash metal, these are late born sons of true metallists. Beatles didn't make any metal, punk or even what we could call a rock song, but they're the one who opened these music styles. That's why most of the old generation musicians call them Godfather instead of father.

[simson4750]

@PoplovPanda soo. you wouldnt say that revolution sounds like a rock song?

[PoplovPanda]

@simson4750 concretly speaking, Beatles has nothing to do with any genre i called from above, but instead, they gave the main ideas for other late groups to make such type of music.

[rickyfaz92]

@AttackingRainbow helter skelter!!!

[rasboi]

@AttackingRainbow  helter skelter

[thetickingman]

@AttackingRainbow Helter Skelter

[losokenjaso]

@beatlesroc123456789 dont worrie youre self over a few dumbasses,that dont know great music.We know the beatles are great (smile)

[MexicanChamp1000]

@beatlesroc123456789 hell yeah!

[LPrulezforlife]

@beatlesroc123456789

people that hate the beatles?

i cant see how you hate them.

there's just no way.

you can definetely hate certain kinds of music, but not this. there's just no way.

[Curt1233brit]

@beatlesroc123456789 i agree, today music is run by record companies not musicains not like the 60s 70s and 80s, and now muscians just think of the money and not the music is self

[roderickgful]

@beatlesroc123456789 Hey man ,don't let it bring you down! John Lennon wouldn't even give it a second thought! He just made music for the highbrow set that "get it" !! Take solace in that!

[Spongebob33392]

sorry if i offend any one, but :DEAR GOD WAT HAPPENED TO MUSIC?????!!!!!????

[chibi33097]

@Spongebob33392

I Love spongebob :O

[MyLife30001]

The Beatles are way way way way way better than that gay ass justin beiber for you girls who like justin get a good taste in music!!!!!!!!

[OwnerClassics]

sitar ftw

[FGA333]

SITAR RULES!

[Crazybeatlesmaniak]

@FGA333 george plays it!!!!!!!! hes the best

[ifmaisabel]

[TheStonerStudios]

good songgggggggggggggggggggggggmmm­mmzzzzzzz

[SeventhHeaven5655]

The sitar makes this song so great.........rest in Peace, George.

[Htownscripter]

@SeventhHeaven5655 ...lol... yes the sitar blends in so well one doesn't even notice it. The world's biggest band went to India for some spiritual awakening.

[jmstdis]

im tired of people saying that all rap is bad...there is alot of bad rap but you are slighting the genre there are many great hip hop artists who are extremely creative in their music...but the beatles are better

[Bmcgov133]

THIS SONG RULES! this is probably their best song

[thebiglebowski1993]

great song, I have a video of the beatles top 40 songs on my channel.

[neurorock]

Beatles are the best group of all time.They are number one in everything

[HoldTheFish51]

This and Across The Universe is Probabbly The BEST SONG OF ALL TIME!

[MikePappas1989]

This song gave me wood, norwegian wood

[joethulhuz]

Why does it say it's by Hank Williams, but it's the original version?

[mactears]

i love the book writen by a japan writer

[KaTaLaNe8]

[sparkalanks]

so! i lit the fire is'nt it good, norwegian wood

[Samoriah]

Fuck the beatles

[polythenepam100]

@Samoriah Why are ya looking at their songs dick head? They were the best band of all time thats why

[hthebeatlesfangirl96]

@Samoriah WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!

[Samoriah]

@hthebeatlesfangirl96

I prefer to listen to music, that isn't absolutely horrible.

[Drstoo1]

Keziah jones has a beautiful album . Nigerian Wood. Yes the idea for this title came frm Norway. but you can't stop music and you can't stop who interprets it!

[niecey7492]

I love the zitar in this song...I can kinda play this on the keyboard but it's kinda difficult,lol

Whereas Hey Jude was easy to learn.Plus I had notes.

[maniberglein]

Best Song from the boys before 1966

[2ufrom1]

Thanks for sharing this experience with us John.

[Bmcgov133]

@2ufrom1 it was george.

[robb2177]

@2ufrom1 norwegian wood sung by george and thats him playing tha zatar..

[loumeadou]

@robb2177 actually, john is singing & george is playing sitar.

[Droogface]

IKEA

[cambiarmivida]

One of the most beautiful and original songs ever...

[BeeyondNeptoon]

this was before music was ruined by rap crap and breast implants.

[MsNegative24]

@BeeyondNeptoon THAT is true!!
