Roy Wood - Lovely Rita and Polythene Pam

[000Eleanor000]

As soon as I heard one song of Roy Wood, I already knew there's something... Beatles-ish about him! x) Maybe he was influenced by them?

[JessBottles]

Wow

[davekm43]

Roy Wood Genious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[11xzxzxz]

I didn't like the Beatles Rita or Pam ( I just don't like the White Album .. I know I am the only one) but this is better ..

[davekm43]

I'm not a big fan of The White album, should of been just a single disc, My Fave Beatle Album is "Rubber Soul", check out the All This And Word War 2 album it is all contempory artist doing Beatle songs with the London Syphony Orchestra on backing track, there is a lot of the album on YT if not all of it. It is the soundtrack to a film that never actually got release as far as I know..........DAVE

[11xzxzxz]

Yeah Rubber Soul may be my 1st or 2nd. Norwegian Wood Nowhere Man

Michelle Girl In My Life (could be the best song on Rubber) If I Needed Someone (I really like this George H song) Run for Your Life

I like the early records and Revolver which I think followed Rubber .. Eleanor Rigby I'm Only Sleeping (great song by lennon and martin) Here There and Everywhere, She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing (very underrated song I think)

[11xzxzxz]

Hard Days night is my favorite .. most every song ..# A Hard Day's Night" # "I Should Have Known Better" # "I Wanna Be Your Man" # "Don't Bother Me" (Harrison) # "All My Loving" # "If I Fell" # "Can't Buy Me Love" # "And I Love Her" # "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" # "Tell Me Why" # "She Loves You" And the wonderful This Boy is in the movie.

@davekm43 Yea there is a lot of junk filler on the white album paul mcartney doesnt like it when people say it should have been a one record set but hes not god you know [ johnny winter had a 3 sided album secound winter 2 records one side is blank thats not because they didnt have enough material its just because they wanted to cut the grooves deeper so it would be louder]

[petegadget]

Rita is from Sgt Pepper, and Pam is from Abbey Road - LOL Beatles fan

[11xzxzxz]

OK thanks I have neither record.

[seventiesclassic]

@11xzxzxz

You may not like the white album..I agree with davekm43..it should have been a single album...but neither of these songs are from the white album..Rita is from sgt pepper..Pam is from abbey road.

[11xzxzxz]

@seventiesclassic Yeah from the white album which is better than the awful (I'm so dramatic ha) abbey road. Dave is cool ..

[seventiesclassic]

@11xzxzxz

No..now pay attention..read carefully....NOT from the white album..got it now ??

[11xzxzxz]

@seventiesclassic "Now pay attention ... read carefully" Your horrid inhabitable "un-humbleness" of puerile pompous purposelessness that U sprays out all of your 5 orifices like a skanky skunk stench wherever you wantonly wanders in and out of insanity and friendlessness.

Got it now Mr Pepper face?

[seventiesclassic]

@11xzxzxz

There are some things in your comment that I can almost understand..the rest is just pure mindless drivel.

Why have a go at me because you don't know how to read the comments properly?

[11xzxzxz]

@seventiesclassic Of cause what I wrote is partly nonsense alliteration that you can't appreciate as a joke. I only went at you cause you wrote like a pompous ass. All you had to say it was Sgt Peppers but no you like to go for the throat so I followed suit. I have only 3 Beatles records and none of them we've mentioned so far, Take care and get off my case.

[seventiesclassic]

@11xzxzxz

Look back to my 1st reply to you, it's not pompous, nor did I go for your throat.

If you don't like being corrected..tough!

[11xzxzxz]

@seventiesclassic Sure you got pompous on your second reply and I told you that on my third reply and your third Reich. Get some humor and some taste. I like to be corrected just not by a silly pompous little man who can't be straight-forward and you had two chances. And you said "AND NOW PAY ATTENTION .. READ CAREFULLY .. NOT FROM THE WHITE ALBUM." A nicer guy would have written "your wrong it's from Sgt Peppers". DO YOU GET THIS .. DID YOU PAY ATTENTION CAREFULLY ??

[seventiesclassic]

@11xzxzxz

Yea I know all that dickhead, but on my 1st reply I was polite..then you sent a moronic reply..obviously ignoring what I'd told you..then I got what you call

" pompous "..now fuck off you're getting on my nerves you twat.

[11xzxzxz]

seventiesnonsense. You just didn't like my mock reply as you are lacking humor. But that's OK what is moronic to some is witty to others. Great, I never have to hear from you again, hopefully.

[LonelyHearts65]

Cool version.

[Fordtaurus00]

Roy is definitely a genius; thanks for posting! It would be interesting to hear Bryan Ferry's contribution to this album; I think it's "She's Leaving Home."

[Fordtaurus00]

IT'S ON HERE! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!

[posthumanhero]

@Fordtaurus00 [was] is the key word here....betw 66-71 he created some pretty interesting music...his 70s stuff is just attempts at hitting a commercial market....quite shallow indeed.

[Ic1cle]

Nice vocals... not my favourite cover versions, but definitely different and interesting.

And 'nuff respect to Roy Wood; the man's a legend.

[LetSocratesDie]
