  • george wrote this one

    

  • If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,

    If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.

    If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,

    If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

    If you're overweight, I'll tax your fat.

  • Obama's 2012 campaign theme?

  • @ThePrinceII yeah----obama is more than willing to tax where you walk and where you breath, in order to spread the wealth around to illegal aliens.

  • @monk22yrs because your ancestors have been living in the us for 1000's of years, not at all as if you come from 'aliens'

  • @8down10 back in 1968, when the beatles still existed, there were 200 million people in usa...right now about 300 million...another 40 years from now 400 million, with most of those speaking spanish.

    i'm all for letting tens of millions of people into usa----as long as millions of acres of woods are bulldozed so that they dont live in crowded slums.

    YOU seem to agree with that.

    so, lets bulldoze the forests, and tax rich musicians, to make a better world.

    u know u want a revolution..

  • @monk22yrs so what if their speaking spanish? youre speaking english and the usa didnt invent that language, so what does it matter. 400 million could get by just fine in usa, in fact a billion probably could. im british and here, on a small island we have 60 million, and we get by just fine. you have about 5x the amount of us on a strip of land thats probably about 75x britain, probably more in fact, so there are never going to be crowded slums.

  • @8down10 you shouldnt admit to being english----since irish radicals, the ira, should have gotten rid of all of you.....thankfully, you agree with that statement.

    give ireland back to the irish!---paul mccartney.

    p.s. the queen of england sucks my cock. and pippa is a slut, too. and prince charles eats shit.

  • @monk22yrs i agree with macca on that. and we dont care for the royal family so you can go ahead and say whatever you want about them and nobody could care less. besides thats all irrelevant to what we were saying before, point is your all descended from immigrants so its extremely hypotritical of you to be against emmigration

  • @8down10 mexicans are descended from....europeans; spanish speaking europeans wiped out most of the indians from mexico down to chile.

    usa also origonated with SLAVE LABOR....and CHILD LABOR.

    so, slave labor and child labor should also be ok, 200 years later? ....back around 1812 england was still at war with usa, and child labor was ok in england too.

    absolutely nothing should change...including music?

  • @monk22yrs

    yes, fuck the whole useless royal family. useless tradition. they are just sucking you stupid brits dry of your money!

  • taxation is stealing

  • @Nered88 obama calls higher taxes hope and change.

  • i love the part at 1:33 - 1:40 !

  • Todays music SUX!!!!!.

  • reminds me of start by the jam

  • @SuperSimonuk

    Good call. Me thinks the Jam was paying homage to the Beatles with that tune..

  • @SuperSimonuk George and Paul came first, though. The Jam blatantly lifted that bass riff; lucky for Weller the rest of the song was different enough.

  • @switz223 I know that, the jam where a 70s/80s band, I wasnt making a critique of either song, i just noticed a similarity, and thought maybe it was my imagination...

  • this must be on 24/7 nowadays with IRS

  • tax season is coming up ;)

  • SUPER TAAAAAAXMAAAN

  • this is glasgow rangers new anthem

  • never ever will there be a band better than this lot

  • I used to be a tax man, but then I took an arrow to the knee......

  • Nobody likes taxes but c'mon, This is the friggin Beatles. 72 people don't like the Taxman

  • so true now, more then ever... fuck the taxman!!!!!

  • when father Obama comes to your home ...it's ok give him what he needs...lol..he will provide...after all he is the father provider....in the historical lines of Mao, Genghis, Kim, Pol, yawn......

  • @fuzzypige222 A: You have no idea what you're talking about. B: Don't post political comments on music.

  • @BorgMercenary the beatles in 1960s during vietnam war, were all about political comments.

    taxman IS a political song.

    and there's the beatles song REVOLUTION....duh.

    there's also the david bowie/mott the hoople song, ALL THE YOUNG DUDES, with the lyrics:

    "my sister's at home with her beatles and her stones/we never got off on that revolution stuff/what a drag..."

  • @fuzzypige222 WTF..

  • I prefer the Stevie Ray Vaughn version of this song.

  • Yeah, you, BE HAPPY I DON'T TAKE EVERYTHANG YOU GOT! XD

  • this is horrible

    now that i have your attention:

    the beatles are the best band ever!

  • @HayzoBlade the jimi hendrix experience were the best band ever, after them its all subjective.

  • @MayfairGent

    the best band ever is the band, that you love most, everyone has his own taste in music, but i agree :)

  • @johnwaynegacy94 For one, The Beatles where in the 60's. Two, Justinn Bieber is in 2011 and 2010, 15 years BEFORE the beatles. If anything, Justin bieber copied them. Go back to the so called "Music video's" that the swill of a boy that they call Justin Bieber and be thankfull that The Beatles created the foundation of todays "music industry".

  • @johnwaynegacy94 go fuck yourself

    

  • @johnwaynegacy94 wow fail

  • so relevant...til the end of time.....

  • hey.. play tax man... ok .... BOOM

    youtube's the shit

  • Too bad the majority of Beatles fans "just enjoy the music" and don't understand the message of this song (basically, fuck taxes).

  • @boredmonkey29 i think the message is pretty clear and atleast 90% understand it...

  • @boredmonkey29 songs like this and songs like revolution, they would clearly be apart of the tea party today :)

  • i agree with aballay, dont try and claim some deeper understanding of the song to seperate yourself from everybody else. This is the least guarded message in a beatles song, i think.

  • @boredmonkey29 I can appreciate looking deeper into lyrics, but I don't think you should look down on people just because they *just* "enjoy the music." Music's primarily there for us to ENJOY.

  • i was blasting this music in my mp3 we were going to h&r block

  • I can't listen to this anymore without remembering of "Robots Rock the Taxman" D:

  • If you drive a car ( PAUL) if you get to cold ( PAUL)

  • @FlameFoxBoy ........Your really gonna bring that up?

  • Great song.

  • yea cause I'm the fat Man.... Jeff Green

  • Too bad they kicked out Bret Michaels.

  • i love the beatles soo much :D

  • This is music. Fuck all that new shit that people listen to just to follow a fucking trend, idiots.

  • @SNIPERKIDxx Hate to break it to you and I love this music but I know people who'll claim to like bands like this and the rolling stones and AC/DC and any "Rock band" you could name off the top of your head for the same reason. Follow trends... Be hip... Be ironic. It honestly makes me upset but it happens everyday.

  • @SNIPERKIDxx too right. They can shove their Two Door Cinema Clubs, Bombay Bicycle Clubs and all those other SHIT bands who haven't done anything to justify their truly shit band names up their stinking arses.

    This is music indeed!

  • that picture is just bad....

  • haha... this song represents my political beliefs according to political compass

  • Not knocking George H....Love his guitar playing...but Paul Mcartney is the best guitarist in the band...maybe the best drummer as well ( back in the USSR, Dear Prudence )...Paul was a built-in studio band for those guys...

  • @ShareTheMike I agree, Pauls one of my all time favourite musicians, and i agree about him being the best drummer, even John said that Ringo wasnt the best drummer in The Beatles and by that i think he probably meant Paul was.

  • @ShareTheMike You forgot bass!!!!

  • I LOOOOVE THE BASS LINE

  • Ahh der. Jeg siger fra her.

  • The Beatles were my favorite CAPITALISTS!!!!

  • Weller nicked this bassline for "Start".....

  • @scotthart2 Yeah. i like the jam, but don't listen to that song! i just skip past it!

  • @4everClassicrock I actually prefer it in Wellers song, it seems to fit better for me, maybe I am just biased though haha......

  • @scotthart2 Everyone to their own, right?

  • @4everClassicrock Absolutely, wouldn't be much good if everyone agreed on everything, especially where music is concerned

  • @scotthart2 yeah thats true

  • @4everClassicrock I have just looked at your page, the song you have "Champagne Supernova" is a quality song....I used to work in Aviation in the U.K and we had Oasis fly into the airport, I was an instructor at (Leeds Bradford International).....When the (private) aircraft was on final approach the captain/co pilot should call over the radio with the figures we need, instead Liam Gallagher came over the radio and sang the first three lines of the song...

  • @scotthart2 That sounds so amazing! it must of been awesome! are you from the U.K.. Jw

  • @4everClassicrock It was very cool, we knew that they ere coming in but didn't know what time. A few of us were sat in the office when the call came over the ground to air radio, we all sat there in amazed silence for about 30 seconds before getting up and running outside like kids on christmas morning haha....I am from the U.K yes, a city in the north of the country called Leeds which is in Yorkshire, I don't live in the U.K any more though, I live in Cyprus these days.....

  • @scotthart2 Woah! thats so cool! i'm from Northern Ireland in town called Derry. But i moved to New York

  • @4everClassicrock haha..That's cool, it's a few years since I have been to Northern Ireland, the last time I was there was somewhere around 1998/99...I was at the old Belfast Harbour Airport doing some staff re-training on certain aircraft, I love Ireland...

  • @scotthart2 yeah me too, i love giong back to visit

  • I know.....he was high...

  • yes but how many people knew that it was Paul playing that wonderful lead guitar riff in TAXMAN?

  • @RandyytL I didn't know that actually

  • we live in a civilized communisit country.

  • I remember how underrated this song was ... but, "Taxman" has endured the test of time .. George's masterpiece!

  • Funkkyyyy!!!!

  • Taxman followed by the sound of silence, brilliant. Also like the Jam ripoff

  • I want to be the Taxman

  • My horse is called Taxman, Taxi for short, after this song :)

  • @abbieNbella Awesome.

  • @abbieNbella If you try to trot, I'll tax your hooves.

  • @abbieNbella im taxing your horse now why, CUZZ IM THE TAXMAN!

  • 66 dislikes, the same year this song came out...coincidence?

  • cause I'm the batman, yeaah I'm the batman...

    oh wait, it doesn't go like that lol.

  • @drakex90 =]

  • RIP George

  • Story of my life....

    

  • Great solo by Paul.... yep thats not George.

  • I lmfao at this video. what were you thinking. I subbed.

  • Comment removed

  • @rk302565 you don't pay 95% tax so stfu

  • listen carefully, when it says "if you drive a car" and when it says "if you get too cold" and "if you take a walk" after every one of those verses they sing out the name "Paul" but faintly so it sounds like they're singing an ahhhh but in The Last testament of George Harrison, he says they sing Paul mourning over Paul's death. don't just say this is stupid but if you watch the movie it makes sense-after all its a documentary and also don't just brush this comment of as silly or stupid.

  • @itscalledBeatlemania holy shit...

  • @itscalledBeatlemania You can't take that movie seriously..

  • @itscalledBeatlemania "The last testiment of George Harrison" ROFL!! LOL that rubbish?you actully beleave thats George Harrison?LOL that sounds NOTHING and I mean NOTHING like him come on you can,t be serious?

  • Luckily,they never got to become taxmen.

  • you've gotta love this user's name!

  • FUCK You LOL You dont music

  • What's with the nearly 2 minutes of silence at the end?

  • a song based on a true story.

  • so who played the solo? paul or george?

  • @9Iamthewalrus paul did, george coulnt get the solo down

  • @LBFable maybe in the doc LET IT BE, george harrison mad at paul for telling him how to play guitar....harrison somewhere else said he was tired of the beatles, cause of that...other groups he played with didn't complain about his guitar playing.

    and john lennon's famous quote along lines of "i'd rather have two georges than one paul."

    bw doc of beatles on first usa tour, lennon and harrison goofing off, sharing smokes---paul by himself even saying out loud he not in mood for any fun.

  • 62 people work for the IRS

  • Tory bastards are scum. The Beatles were being screwed one pence of every one pound earnt. In other words Wilson and Heath brought in 99p under Labour.

    Buck tooth Cameron will take the whole pound.

  • i love the Beatles and this song BUT rich people complaining about taxes... so stupid and offensive

  • @fede018 But if you live in a nation that charges income tax, the rich would pay more taxes. Of course they would complain.

  • how could u dislike this song

  • @ezequiel1234ish maybe if you're actually a taxman

  • interesting:)

  • This is the best song ever, apparently. Justin Bieber is gay. There are too many dislikes. I stopped my porn for this. Chuck Norris. I'm only 13 and I like this. Thumbs up if you are listening to this in 2011. Let's have a music rebellion. Press this number so something will happen. Random unfunny memes. The band that made this song is god. The world is ending in 2012. Lady Gaga. I raped the replay button. Why is it only showing my views?

    YouTube comments in a nutshell. Sad, I know ¬_¬

  • @Silent14411 What's wrong with that?

  • @Silent14411

    I was vibing to this shit, kind read your comment, stop and started laughing. AND YES I AGREE, the hell is up with all of the Dis-Likes?!..Homos? This is some ill music (dope, fresh, nice). I love the instrumental version. Wish I could read some music. This is great music.

  • @Silent14411 You forgot; list of problems with teh internets, taken from somewhere else.

  • @Silent14411 I love you

  • @Silent14411 dont forget the like/dislike bar is like a light saber/joint.

  • @Silent14411 calm down, smoke some grass, eat some benzos, do whatever you got to do and have a drink for christ sakes, you gotta get it together man, otherwise they win.

  • @vividDC There is a reek of bullshit around here. I've seen this announcement on a load of Beatles songs and it makes no sense. You wont find the truth on google. The truth CAN be known and experienced at any time including back then. You are have no right to comment on George Harrison's aspirations or distractions. Rest in peace George, brilliant songwriter and musician.

  • @lifereguard if it is BS, how can you even know if you didnt go to the website and read the book? If you know the truth why arent you telling others so we can end these stupid wars and end disease, poverty, hatred, etc.? Obviously we are missing some of the truth because if we all knew the truth right now it would be heaven on earth. If anyone can know the ultimate truth then how come there are wars declared for religious opinions? Get my point, just give it at least 1 chance

  • @OpenthePresentNow It was what vividDC meant by truth that I didn't get. For me truth is in the absolute sense, an experience of reality, which can be attained within ourselves. I believe George had plenty of that experience as his songs reflect. If that feeling was more widespread wars and injustice would rapidly end.

    (aswell as unfair taxes!)

    But truth in the form of facts and events, that is something else. I'll check it out . Thanks for your input.

  • @lifereguard awesome, what you just said is exactly what the book shows evidence of and you didnt even see it. If you are all for physics and whatnot you would like this book. The evolution portion is really amazing, I was in awe when I started to really understand the depth of mankinds evolution.

  • @OpenthePresentNow nice one - looks like I have a homework assignment, also posted it to my facebook page, see what they make of it.
