  • What is the effect on this guitar?

  • If you love the Beatles...check-out XTC's marvelous "Skylarking" opus.

    Truly Beatlesque.

  • @Easleytee or anything by the Dukes of Stratosphear

  • Just listening to this makes me smile all day..:)

  • It couldn't get much worse.

  • the beatles are awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 14 people never got better

  • The Beatles' most enduring legacy will be the way music could be conceived and realized.

  • Not only was the guitar played but do you hear those last fading notes on this song? They were done by produce George Martin, who used felt-tip tympani sticks to strike piano wires. Beautiful sound. He also did that wonderful piano solo in 'In My Life'. What we hear on that song is the solo actually sped up to match the pitch of the song. Even their producer was a genius.

  • Bob Dylan looks bored.

  • @albatross7677 oh shit,, im sure i noticed that before but you just reminded me lol,,, not listened to this album fer years , got it here in the cd rack too ; ) he does look bored lol

  • and he wrote it and played his usual superb bass run in it

  • his phrasing, perfect, range, superb, pitch perfect, variety, superb

  • the best vocal you'll ever hear

  • your only a true beatles fan if your listening to this with a beatles t-shirt on.

    wonder how many of you are running to your closets.

  • @Redzepplin4 I would but I'm 12 and I only have 1 and I wear it like every other day... I can't buy one unfortunately...

  • @Redzepplin4 Band T-shirts don't make you proper fans they just make you look like a twat. You think John wore a Buddy Holly T-Shirt?

  • @PrimalStones

    no. but he did wear the spectacles.

  • @Redzepplin4 I'm not, but i can say for sure that I'm a true Beatles fan, because I can sing any of their songs...

  • @Redzepplin4 No-one because no-one cares what you've arbitrarily decided makes a Beatles fan.

  • Just came from Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Listening to the whole album

  • "I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved

    Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene

    And I'm doing the best that I can."

    that bit ruins the song for me :(

  • what idiots dislike this?

  • If you think this is misogynistic then check out,,,,, Run For Your Life!!!! Shocking!!

  • "Okay George, you can play the sitar on this one too, but only for a few seconds while we talk about domestic violence"

  • @2thick4nick Laughed so hard ahahah

  • @2thick4nick i read it right in that moment. :aliens:

  • he used to beat his woman?

  • @blackhorse099 Heather Mills should have used this song as evidence :D

  • Who the hell is Funky Black Cat? Respect to Beatles pliz

  • Best song written.. ever..?

  • I have to admite...

  • to my way of thinking, this is the "perfect" Lennon/McCartney collaboration, Paul (the eternal optimist) singing, "I have to admit it's getting better", John (the eternal pessimist) sings "it can't get much worse". John/Paul...Yin/Yang, call it what you will but, perfect balance of writing and life,(note for Beatle's Freaks only:...that's why these guys are such genious's is all those Yin/Yang, John/Paul shit we just don't think about but still impacts you musically on a deeper level)

  • What's this "funky black cat" shit?

  • I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M ON FUCKING VACATION!

  • i have to admit. it is getting better since you've been mine <3.

  • Is that Obama in the middle?

  • @Aliistairs Yes. Barrack Obama played a pivotal role in the Sgt. Pepper recordings in 1967. So much so that they hired Doc Brown to give him a DeLorean and have him become president of the United States.

  • @Aliistairs no it is some other bro from the past eh?

  • Feels soo good and even better on a bad day :)

  • Who came here because of this great song and not some stupid "funky black cat"

  • @iandriy me!

  • "I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her from the things she loved." lolwut?

  • @irishduck101 This song is about John, who was abusive at one point. He's stated that his past is the reason that he was so into peace later on in life.

  • @MsReno56 Oh ok, still that's a little much! R.I.P though John

  • @irishduck101 Well, John was (and is) famous for 'a little much'. xD

  • Getting so much better all the timeeeeee! Jjejejejee ;)

  • What a bass line! Highlight of the song in my opinion...

  • Feeling depressed? Click Here--------> 0:00

  • It's a real shame that for some people, it's getting worse. Economy :(

  • Vim porque eu gosto dos Beatles e do Funky

  • Vim aqui pelos Beatles e não faço a menor idéia do que seja Funky Black Cat.

  • Comment removed

  • Funky Black Cat !!

    Parabéns !!

  • Funky Black Cat!

  • @renan18142 What!?

  • anyone else find Edgar Allen Poe on the album cover?

  • I love how at 1:36 the song grabs a much darker tone with the sitar and the indian drums as John recalls times when he was a much darker person.. and then it returns to the jolly up-beatness. That's such a innovative idea for a bridge.

    great song ^.^

  • @Playpet1977

    Yes, even though Paul sang the lead vocal on this, it was John who wrote those lyrics, reflecting his gaining of self-awareness and hence compassion. (Man I was mean, but I'm changing my scene).

  • One of my favorites!!!!

  • Look up right! Is Bob Dylan

    Look in the centre of the video! Are the best band in the world!

  • Truth be told guys,

    it's getting better.

    All the time.

  • Now 12 people aren't getting better. They don't know about music.

  • im getting worse!

  • All George H. had to on this one was to play 1 bloody chord, and he still managed to get it wrong """"

  • After hearing this, it's getting a whole lot better....!!!!

  • oh my god see there are no clues you can tell because every ones focased on paul look gearge doesnt have an instramen does that mean he died johns shirt is always undone in sgt pepper johns a brown walrus while everyone else is dresed in whit is he dead at the timeringoes not wearing rings is he dead are they all dead and replaced with look alikes no none of them did let it be oh my god you cant have the same scar on you chin if you dead and replaced with a look alikes nor beauty marks not dead

  • A primeira vez que eu ouvi esse lp achei horrível. Só depois de muito ouvir é que gostei muito. A escelente música é assim.

  • Thumbs up if you recognise this song from 'The Cat In The Hat'

  • @shfeeeeek Smashmouth sang it in Cat in the Hat. But Smashmouth and The Beatles are both awesome bands.

  • cant get no worse.....

  • its simple.... Getting Better ♫

  • From an English person; The English are the best - they show the world how it's done

  • @jimrochdale music, rioting and how to fuck up politics.

  • And stop arguing if Paul or John died and were replaced. Talent can't be replaced, assholes

  • @themusicgamer14 I was mocking him by saying John was dead, to show the guy who claimed Paul was dead how ridiculous he was

  • @zaphodtrillian @smithllano

    Decent people LOVE it.

  • COLOMBIA LIKES IT.

  • @smithllano Australia LOVES it!

  • Awww this song is cute, catchy, and so true. :D

  • Faul's voice was getting better all the time.

  • It always gets better when I listen to the Beatles.

  • hi Vanessa. :)

    

  • @Afun97 whats up my lover..

  • @Afun97 Hey, what's up? :)

  • after almost 40 years of constant getting better this song is getting dangerously good.

  • Paul is wearing an OPP badge!!!!!

  • Paul Mccartneys replacement is "getting better all the time" because he is looking more like Paul. Then the lyrics "since youve been mine" Faul is saying since Paul Mccartneys name has been his.

  • @childintime12 HA! You sir are a cretin of the highest order. The song was written about the life of John Lennon, 'I used to be angry a man', 'I use to be cruel to my woman'. 'Getting better' is a reference to his improvement as a person and 'since youve been mine' is about his life with yoko. By the way, where's is your evidence that paul died?

  • @CommieCotch His voice changed from best in the group to worst. Listen to white album and abbey road. They made backwards songs telling you hes dead. Their lyrics are about pausl death. Paul is singled out in every album on photos or what have your. Sgt peppers is funeral scene. Abbey road he has no shoes becuz dead people are buried barefoot. Fauls face is melting from plastic surgery. He cant grow facial hair cuz of so much surgery. He wears a fake beard on let it be.If you wanna know more ask

  • @childintime12 The reason for the funeral scene is because that Paul had the idea for the Beatles to become an 'alter-ego' band, that they should shed their identity and become a new band (so the funeral is for 'The Beatles' as society knew them). As for Abbey Road the reason he isnt wearing shoes is because he was barefoot for the entire day and couldn't be bothered to put them on for the take. The supposed 'backwards lyrics'? Most are too garbled to comprehend but John says 'Cranberry sauce'.

  • @CommieCotch Thats Faul telling you his cover story. All your doing is reading what Faul wants you to believe. If you think they just showed up for AR cover like that your stupid. There obviously all in specific costume. He doesnt say cranberry sauce. One of the best writers does not say dumb shit. Look at all the information on Paul is dead and you will see the same conclusion he died. Im about done trying to teach all of you the truth.

  • @childintime12 what do you mean one of the best writers doesnt say dumb shi*. HAVE YOU HEARD I AM THE WALRUS ?

  • @misternoodle13 He says walrus because he is referring to Paul being dead. He is saying true things and thats why his music is so good. Its not a fairy tale. Heres the evidence. Two experts proved that his voice changed and that his skull changed. Thats solid evidence that holds up in court. Also I can tell his voice changed, his appearance changed, The rest of The Beatles never liked him or hung out with him again, beatles songs are all about his death. Backwards music. Who debunked it? u?

  • @childintime12 ok so your saying because he looks and sounds different means hes dead ? does ringo look the same in 1970 compared to 1964 ? NO ! Does John ? NOT REALLY ! as people grow older they change. you cant expect them to look exactly the same .another factor could be that a lifetime of smoking tobacco,marijuana and taking lsd and heroin may change his look and voice.does not liking someone mean their dead. i dont like some people but they arent dead .

  • @childintime12 and on a sidenote i do realise that their are some "clues " in songs and album covers .the beatles were smart because if people recognized these "clues" they would need to buy albums which would lead to more money for them i think

  • @misternoodle13 No the beatles were the most popular band so they didnt need clues for money. When people noticed the clues they released Let It Be and broke up. Why break up if people just found out your marketing plan? Faul cant grow facial hair, this isnt possible for normal humans. He has so much surgery that he cant grow facial hair. The other beatles had beards to show he wasnt one of them. Faul wore a fake beard on Let it be. Faul cant sing better than riingo. Just research it urself

  • @childintime12 Run a lap.

  • @childintime12 you didnt answer my question about his appereance changing over time did you ?

    weaving your way out of everything you PID believer. em yes it is possible for normal humans to grow facial hair lol.ringo only had a chin strap or a mustasche so there goes that theory

  • @misternoodle13 His skull changed. Two experts proved that. Look up two italian researched who proved Paul was replaced. He cant grow facial hair because of so much plastic surgery. He wore a fake beard on Let It Be and had a microphone cover his mouth on the cover because his jaw collapsed from surgery. His hair is different. Compare photos and its easy to see. I have an answer for everything becaue Paul died. The good thing about being a skeptic like me is we look at all things possible.u dont

  • @childintime12 and how do you know that he wore a fake beard. were you there ? who are these italian researchers you speak of ? do they have names ? people hair can change with a magical instrument called a comb. so before you tell me to research my facts research your own and stop being so vague when you give answers !

  • @misternoodle13 Francesco Gavazzeni and Gabriella Carlesi, loo them up. His beard on Let It be grew that thick in a coupole weeks huh? He never had a beard like that again. It looks like ringo shaved his pubic hair and elmer glued it to Fauls face. How do you explain all the albums and booklets referencing that Paul is dead? Do you have magical mystery toru cd or white album? look at the booklets to see pictures of faul

  • @childintime12 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha! Dude... you're kidding right? This shit was debunked forty years ago man. I guess people are gonna believe what they want to...

  • @childintime12 Answer this simple question okay just answer it. Where is your evidence that paul died? (Not song lyrics or supposed album cover signs) Where is your evidence?

  • @CommieCotch I just listened to Pass Me By as I proved you wrong with my last message and listen to Ringo say "you were in a car crash and you lost your head" That song is all about Pausl death and noone can hear it but me? Who are you people? Also look at side shots of Paul and Faul and thats when you can really tell the difference. Straight up shots appear to look like Paul becuz he had surgery and also photos can be changed to look like Paul. Thats why faul had to marry linda.

  • @childintime12 Mate do you honestly think the Beatles would have shrugged off the death of their best friend, not to mention the other main songwriter in the group If Paul had died where is his death certificate? He was one of the most famous men on earth his death couldn't possibly be covered up. Why didn't the quality of his songs drastically dip? You are wrong and you must surely know it, its too feeble a theory to retort to really i just want you to stop living believing a pathetic theory

  • @childintime12 Listen up my friend, you've been lied to! John Lennon died in 1966 in a freak blimp accident and from 1966-1980 'Con' took his place. The signs are everywhere! 'I am the walrus' was him trying to tell the world he was dead. 'I'm so tired' was his way of saying that 'Con' was tired of living a lie as the fake John. The reason he married Yoko is because his first wife Cynthia couldn't stay married to a fraud. It all fits! Why do you think he started wearing glasses? John died he did

  • @CommieCotch whatever your read that says what beatles songs are about is part of the cover story. listen to let it be, all together now, johnnys birthday, and revolution 9 backwards. there are other backwards song that suggest he died as well.

  • @childintime12 on 'Strawberry fields forever'. Mate use your brain Do you honestly think if Paul had died in a crash it could be so easily swept up? There'd be witnesses and the press would have flocked to the scene as he was one of the most famous men in the world. Where is your evidence tell me EVIDENCE. How do you know that John didn't die? Or Ringo or George? How is it that Paul's musical ability didn't diminish? And did Linda marry a fraud? You are out of your mind, the myth is totally shit

  • @CommieCotch the government could have done what they wanted with the situation. Listen to Glass Onion and John tells you whats going on. He says clue before people even uncovered the Clues in 1969. He tells you bout the fool on the hill, he tells you hes the walrus. Linda was the photographer and knew the truth so she forced him to marry her sop she could become a music star. She was in Wings. She blackmailed him. There is no myth because it all really happened.

  • I'm eating butter all the time!

  • whenever i was feeling down i would listen to this song or sing this what i can i say it helped :)

  • This song is about Pauls replacement getting better at becoming Paul Mccartney. After Paul died Faul took sometime to become a good replacement.

  • 11 people aren't getting better.

  • @HUriel05 it,s a fail. 12 it,s not getting better.

  • This was the Beatles at their creative peak - the year they showed the rest of the world what could be done with imagination and freedom from record company straitjackets. As for this track, to me the standout element is McCartney's bass - what a different and lesser song it would have been with conventional on-the-beat playing, rather than Macca's quirky syncopation. This virtually cries out for you to make up your own dance steps. Brilliant.

  • MINE

    

  • Is this anyone else's theme song?

  • @beckslove33 mine :P

  • The lyrics are kind of disturbing.

  • @Do0mality This was John Lennon's 'mea culpa' ... he WAS an angry young man who abused his (first) wife. The freedom to put such lyrics into a pop song was what made the song - and the Beatles - so far ahead of their time. Anyway, IMHO, art SHOULD disturb us, make us think ... and even frighten us (check out Peter Gabriel's "Intruder".)

  • Every generation thinks their music is the best there ever was. Think about that for a moment. Were you here before there was recorded music? Will you be here in a hundred years? I prefer music from many decades, but I'm not going to say my choices are best....The Beatles are the best in my own opinion, but you've got your opinion, and that's cool....Peace...I'm an all time Hendrix fan, but that's another story...:)

  • @lughhgul No. I know many people that think the music for their generation is not the best, at all. Mainly from the one we're in now.

  • @lughhgul To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, "It is absurd to divide (music) into good and bad. (Music is) either charming or tedious."

  • @kurtmanerz1 How the fuck does that have to do with the Beatles?

  • this song and "FIXING A HOLE" are the forgotten songs..the filler songs on "SGT. PEPPPERS".

  • @801liveable there's no filler on sgt. pepper. "fixing a hole" just happens to be my personal favorite on the album.

  • @YanksFan162 relax pal, relax..yankees, can't buy every WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP..you'll be over it by THANKSGIVING..by ROSH HASHANAH, they'll have a whole new team bought and in place..i know you're a bit surly but just take a deep breath. i feel for you. i've been there before. oh. i think "fixing a hole" is a great song too.

  • it getting better

  • In a parallel universe where everything is opposite, the Beatles are still the best band in the world.

  • @jasonbarnes711 Wouldn't that contradict the aspect of a parallel universe?

  • @macarthur19 That's how cool the Beatles are. They can literally bend the fabric of space-time.

  • @jasonbarnes711 In a paralell universe where everything is opposite, Chuck Norris is still the same.

  • My first pay check was 4 around 5 bones and after clearance went 2 bimart and unloaded on peooer and this tune i played nonstop

  • i'm so high

  • everyday... it's getting better...getting there is up to you

  • yes love it inspiration, makes me feel miles higher, love i!

  • the beatles and the beach boys were testing each other's limits, and we benefited tremendously as listeners
