I love the chords to this, Vinnie. They are reminiscent of the Beatles but with a particular twist that I find highly original and very appealing. You actually expanded on that sound and made it, in a lot of ways, your own. The entire production is such a pleasure to listen to. Your work is truly unique and the amazing versatility of your range and musicianship is something to be greatly admired. Please keep that creative force going!
Thanx so much 4 the kind words! U grasped exactly what i was trying to do. The mission for me was "What would I have recorded if I were the Beatles?" I have a few other cuts ala the Fabs "Fab Gear", "Homicidal", and "John Lennon" that U may enjoy on m Reverb nation page.
@bradleydeanwhyte Nice of U to say Bradley. It;s still my fave song I've written. By the way....I can;t get your song out of my head ! (We Will Be Back)
I would say this is a very "John song". Similar to "I Am The Walrus", or something like that from 1967... the singer even looks like John chewing gum !! But he managed to include a very Harrison guitar-slide, a very Ringo-beat and a Paul-bass-line...
@ofdoubtsof god Glad U enjoyed it! I hope U will check out the album it came from :"Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America " and the new one: "Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America Vol 2" There is a song on the new one called "John Lennon" that U may enjoy if U are a Beatle fan.
Vinnie! This is, well.....FAB! I saw your post about this on the Ringo/Colin Hay vid, & rushed right over here. So glad I did! Tremendous job with LOVE shining thru all the talent and tasteful, Beatle-esque riffs! LOVE the Walrus feel, too! Unique AND anchored in that SOUND we LOVE. btw..check the BBC Band from Buffalo, here on youtube. They do a GREAT job, with all the proper gear as well! There's a LIVE performance of them at the Riviera Theatre that will blow your mind and make you SMILE! ty!
Thanx so much for the kind words about my video! Nice of U to say. On my CDs nearly every cut is an homage to a different artist. Hope U will check them out.
Glad U enjoyed it but I've never thought it sounded anything at all like "When We Was Fab". Completely different chord sequence. I'm borrowing much more from "Walrus".U are not the first to say that tho'.
Again I don't see it but....As long as U enjoyed the song.I tried to come up with a more modern version of what I imagined they might sound like now. I for one have never credited Linn that much with the sound of Free As A Bird and Real Love. That always sounded like pure Beatles arrangement wise to me. Sonically the drum sound was Linn like on those 2 songs.
Thanx so much! So glad U enjoy it. "Ringo" is from my Swinging Guitar Sounds of Youg America album.There is also a Fabs like song called "Fab Gear" on it. The new album SGSOYA Volume 2 has "John Lennon" and an homage to "Instant Karma" called "Homicidal". I hope U will check them out!
Nice ! Now if the 'New' Beatles song that came out on that Anthology in '95 sounded like THIS, i would've been pretty stoked ! 'Free As a Bird' was rather lame i thought.
Vinnie-your friends are the ones who are 'mad' not you-this is a first rate tribute to Ringo Starr-damn I love his drumming-'she loves you' 'she said she said' 'rain' 'magical mystery tour'(the entire album)'something' and I love the drum sound on the entire 'abbey road' album-he had an uncanny sense of timing and hit the drums hard.
Thanx so much for the kind words! Much appreciated. I hope U will check out my whole "Swinging Guitar Sounds Of Young America" album Each song is done in the style of a different band. I have another Fabs sound alike song on the CD called "Fab Gear".Sounds like a Sgt. Pepper song
Liked very much, are you going to do any more songs in this manner, as opposed to the jazz ones you have on youtube. I'd like more with this sound. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Glad U enjoyed ths osng. Thanx! Check out my "Swinging Guitar Sounds Of Young America" album at CD Baby.there is another Fabs soundalike and other soundalike stuff.I'm working on the new album and I have a tribute song for Lennon as well as an "Instant Karma"like song.
@Vazmusic Sweet man! I'm gonna have to check that out once it gets posted.
As a Beatle fan, I really like the song, but I have to listen to it without looking at the video because you kinda look like this teacher I used to hate with a passion (uhg bad memories). Sorry if you take this as offensive, I think it's because of the facial hair... but you totally rock man. Keep up the good work. :]
Thanx so much for your comment ! If U like my song "Ringo" U will love the album it comes from "Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America" .
The CD's very different. Every cut a completely different style of music, each an original song but played in the style of a different artist. Everything from The Beatles, Beach Boys, Cream, Jeff Beck, Blondie, Bob Wills,Les Paul, BB King, to Elvin Jones and more.
So glad U enjoyed it! U can find this song on I Tunes or CD Baby & many others. U may enjoy the album "Swinging Guitar Sounds of Young America" that the song is on

I just bought your album using itunes.man dude-you are an incredible talent.so diverse. feel like I just discovered a rare gem.20 songs!what a good deal.good luck with this music of yours.you deserve it. Bill
Great work Vinnie! And a great video. I worked very briefly with Joe's first band Arms & Legs in 1976/77 when I was doing promo at MAM Records. Also check my own brand new Fab Four tribute "Gold Songs" just posted.
Vinnie, your beautiful slide playing is a real tribute to George. Great song top to bottom. Always liked your guitar work with Joe Jackson. Didn't realize you were such a Beatle fan.
Wow, the first 34 seconds totally got me hooked on the song. It caught my attention right off the bat. This song kind of reminds me of I am the walrus a little bit. Great job, Ringo would be proud. And did you really play all the instruments by yourself?
Thanx so much for the kind comments about my video. Yeah I'm playing everything except the cello , which was Reed Hays,and piccolo trumpet, which was Tim Ouimette. Those are real drums as well. The drums took the longest to do. I'm a guitarist by trade (google me) but I've always played drums and bass as well. I'm a big fan of Ringo's drumming.
Hi there! I happened to see a comment of yours promoting this song and I just had to look! :) This just might be my new favorite song....it's very similar to everything the Beatles have done, so it's my type of music. I really enjoyed it! <3 Did you write the entire thing yourself?
Jonas Brothers are better :p ...Seriously though, this song and video are extremely well done, captures the Beatle sound perfectly! Even your Beatle mannerisms and such are spot on. Superb job! And it's nice to see a tribute to Ringo for a change, the poor guy gets a bad rap so many times, yet where would the Beatles be without him?
hi I have seen your video, and I liked a lot. arrangements, sound, all inspired by the Fab, pdero without falling into extravagance. It's a wonderful video and song. What else I can say. Really a job well done!
I popped over form the "Meet the Beatles 4 Real" blog. You nailed it with this tune! Great job!!I You know, I've done a similar thing as you in that I create Beatle' sounding melodies in my head. Some are pretty good if I have to say so myself. However, I doubt they will ever get as far as yours. Besides, you have that guitar pick going for you. Keep em coming. Cheers, Dan
Great Song & a clever film ! If you enjoyed this you should check out "I Know Something About The Beatles" by Stackridge ....it's on YouTube somewhere !
So happy U like it so much! It's funny...Nobody has ever mentioned that harmony. It was one of the things I was proudest of in the whole song. I worked hard to get each part as much like the Fabs as possible. thanx so much!
Thanx Bette I am recording a new album as we speak and we are beginning a video for my song "Fab Gear" next month. So glad U like my "Ringo" song. Please spread the word!
Vinnie...I LOVE it!! whatta great sound you captured ...So beatlesque but yet so modernly lush...Id love to buy the CD ..May I? really a sweet video as well..I'd love to hear this on radio..
You're welcome Rachel! Vinnie is such a talented Guitarist, Singer, Guitar Player and Drummer. I admire his talents very much. Please be sure to take a look at my Blogspot for Vinnie Zummo.

Please be sure to have a look at the Blogspot I have created for Vinnie. There will be a new video titled "Fab Gear". Production begins in August. You Rock Vinnie !!!
Very Beatlesque. Echoes of "I Am the Walrus" throughout the song, with "Penny Lane" horns, 'Rubber Soul' backing vocals, and George Harrison's post-Beatle slides thrown in ...not to mention John Lennon specs and sideburns! Quite catchy, great lyrics, and exceptionally well produced. I love it!
Hi Saxshooter. I am also a fan of Vinnie Zummo and love his performances with Joe Jackson. A few of the songs he performed are saved to my favourites for your listening pleasure. Also please be sure to have a look at the Music Blogspot I've created for Vinnie. I adore this Ringo Starr Tribute video. A huge thank you to Vinnie !!!
Yes I love this song Alexis! Vinnie you Rock!! Alexis I want to thank you for sharing your Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon vieos with the YT community.

That's awesome, Vinnie. Joe Jackson, eh? I worked with David Kershenbaum back in the 80's.
Keep up the great stuff.

Very Beatlesque. Echoes of "I Am the Walrus" throughout the song, with "Penny Lane" horns, 'Rubber Soul' backing vocals, and George Harrison's post-Beatle slides thrown in ...not to mention John Lennon specs and sideburns! Quite catchy, great lyrics, and exceptionally well produced. I love it!
