The Beatles - Christmas Record 1963

[lennonmccartney10440]

This is John speaking with his voice!<3

[hisforepic]

Which one is singing the really high part in the very beginning?

[b0bname]

This is John, speaking with his voice :3

Just before I pass you over to paul (RUFF RUFF RUFF)

[TBlenx1995]

"STOP SHOUTING AT THOSE ANIMALS!" John is so funny!

[linandjer]

I love this one, where they were all still getting along. The later ones are not as nice. That's all I have to say.

[kfkrobok]

They were just plain goofy! Love it!

[MickTheCharlton]

i laughed at how often they said "gear".

[keetongeer]

It's interesting that the band with the greatest sense of humor also happens to be the greatest band of the 20th century -- or possibly of all time. Thanks for the upload.

With Beatles in mind, I've posted the video, "40 years in 3 minutes", which is a music video containing the Beatles' rooftop performance, historical events over the last 40 years and 8mm film antics from the period, all cut tightly to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Hope you enjoy!

[xoxoMEEPoxox]

And a Gary Crimble to you all. <3

[thebeatlesbeachboys]

[Msemospongebob]

this is so freakin funny!!!!

i need to get it on itunes!!

[MisieRandom321]

THIS RECORD IS FREE ON ITUNES!!!!!!! GET IT NOW!!!!!! haha sorry for that but u really should!!!!!!!!

[VampireQueenSakura]

@MisieRandom321 I'm trying to find it on iTunes. but i don't see it! :|

[MrRyanRhymes]

4:57 I guess it being the end of 1963 it was acceptable to sing about Ricky the red-nosed Negro, eh? But still, you don't expect it from a Beatle, I just can't work out whether it's Ringo or John putting on a voice... I've heard tell it's George who cuts in with the Rudolph correction after though.... good old folksy family racism! gotta love it. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

[monkberry1971]

@MrRyanRhymes Umm...the line is red nosed Ringo, not Negro. 

[MrRyanRhymes]

@monkberry1971 funny, cause it is definately negro... someone else said it's definately seagull... you say it's definately Ringo... but I hear, as do alot of others, negro... I guess we'll never know. I'm just going by what I heard the first time and hear every time since.... Ricky the red-nosed Ringo? I don't think so

[MrRyanRhymes]

@monkberry1971 listen closely, that is definately not Ringo... there's no rrrrrr sound before the eeeee sound

[monkberry1971]

@MrRyanRhymes I'm not the only one who hears it as Ringo. That's what I've seen on most lyric sheets and so forth

[Msemospongebob]

@MrRyanRhymes they were trying to say "ricky the red nosed RINGO, not negro. What do you expect with the beatles?!?

[Uetti]

I'm quite sure that's Paul singing the german Good King Venceslas, and not John as you wrote on the transcript of the video..

[DrWinstonBoogie]

@Uetti I have listened the video and I can assure you that it's John voice singing.

[Uetti]

@DrWinstonBoogie I'm sorry to re-state that that's ubdoubtely Paul who sings that, Doc. Winston!

First of all, the structure of the message assure to each of the four a sung bit at the end of their greetings.. Even Ringo sings at the end of his part, why shouldn't Paul?

Second, that's HIS voice! Listen to Paul's voice at 0:42 in this watch?v=q0tV8bAU5fE and then suddenly to 3:15 here. It's just one of his many vocal styles, but it's certainly Mac.

[pkaiser14]

@DrWinstonBoogie

Sorry, you are incorrect. It IS Paul. Did you not notice each Beatle does his own version of "Good King..." at the end of his bit? The German is clearly Paul, you can especially tell when he says "Ja, Ringo!" I really appreciate you posting this, though, I had the original compilation LP of these that they put out in 1970, but sold it like a fool....

Phil Kaiser

[Maestrojosh87]

@DrWinstonBoogie I could hear Paul breathing, then going right into the fake German...

[smallsam52]

@DrWinstonBoogie OF COURSE it's Paul, Dude

[TheBeatleManiac101]

@Uetti Yeah I'm pretty certain its Paul too

[judaharrison58]

@Uetti Definitely John

"Hi, this is John speaking with his voice. It's lovely speaking with you all on this little bit of plastic.

"I'm George Harrison! Nobody else has said about our Fan Club secretaries and calling him Bettina Rose!" XD

Also: 3:15 - 3:25 XD/WTF
