Lovely Rita, Meter maid - The beatles

[MeLiiLilly]

One of my favourite solos! I always love Paul playing the piano.

[MeLiiLilly]

@MeLiiLilly I'm sorry, it's George Martin who plays the piano.

[vnrhoades]

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS VIDEO - BEST I'VE EVER SEEN.

[vnrhoades]

No doubt, the greatest video I'VE EVER FREAKIN' SEEN!!!!!!

Great Job, what you did here...

[HammerFist1970]

To all you Rita's out there, if you not a meter maid then this song is not to you.

[BobblyFlower]

The girl that bounces up and down looks like Alexandra Burke btw

[cafecaro]

Niki Minaj 0:35

[Caligula138]

[rokkeo1]

En muchas partes se caen: 0:11 0:12

[willowandfleur]

@binmantom Paul does lead vocal

[binmantom]

who sings this ? i thought it was paul ? but now think its john

[TheBeatlesForever13]

I'd be one of those girls in the audience screaming and crying... then after the initial shock I'd faint.

[Clos21591]

@redsull123 P.S. I have tried my best to not be closed minded to Rock music, especially to The Beatles. I used to be, then I realized that was hindering my ear for good music. Maybe if you would to give some of these mcs a chance, then you would understand what I mean. Anywho, this music is such a breath of fresh air!

[Clos21591]

@redsull123 Have you ever heard of Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought, KRS One, NaS, The Pharcyde, Del the Phunkee Homosapien, Black Star, Mos Def, or Tupac? & no, these are not just so called "rappers", they are lyrical MCs who often get overlooked (besides Pac, KRS One, and NaS) because people often listen to so called rap that's being played in the radio (i.e Lil Wayne, Drake, Niki Minaj) and its these cats that spoil not only rap, but music in general.

[egyptianminor]

Love this song, love that intro - note how ingeniously they panned the guitar and piano together on left channel creating a hybrid sound- love that end vamp - totally Pink Floyd.

[aknowneemus]

great job ellyspiro, this footage goes better with THIS song than in the movie!

[TheDaymanvsnightman]

definitely naming my first daughter rita

[Knivesandpens1997]

@TheDaymanvsnightman Good!! It needs to make a comeback :)

[rita920215]

cool, my name is rita!!!!!

[Delmarvellous]

A beautiful homage to the GIRLS who were an essential, important, indispensible part of the Beatles' success. Ladies...you're wonderful.

[Iwillgonakillyou]

My name is rita :D

[Delmarvellous]

Asian Indian girl at :33. Even back then, Beatles were ahead of their time--cross-racial interest!

[ritaliciouss]

My mothers name is Rita ( she was a police officer) and my name is Rita too :)

[bwanna23]

May I inquire discreetly?...how British!

[vividDC]

The Beatles are coming back, but not as the cute mop tops we saw the first time. This time, we will see them for the prophets they really were and hear the spiritual and truth side of their music. It will change the world again. Go to TruthContest (dot) com and open The Present, then read the section about The Beatles. Pass this on to every Beatles fan you know.

[iRitute]

I Rita too ^_^

[WallaceMcHenry]

this song always reminds of driving in my 69 chevelle....

[gotermate]

You know this song is about masturbation, right?

[ShadeToSun]

@gotermate Where are you getting that from?

[wecanworkitout2]

@gotermate how so?



[salad1974]

hähähä - Rita was the dog from paul mc cartney - a wonderful ugly song for his dog !!

[ElmoPiano]

The sheet music for the piano solo, which is played by George Martin, for "Lovely Rita" can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm.

[MyAcedog]

Starting at 2:07 or 2:08,i can hear Paul and Or John saying something like "Dup Dup".It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know & or find out what "Dup" reversed is.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

Justin Bieber wrote this when he was only 12. That kid is such a genius

[Bryturr]

My mother is obsessed with the beatles. Hence why my name is Rita..

[thehognias]

@Bryturr

She should have named you the Walrus.

[Bryturr]

@thehognias IKR.

[Ottavia123456789]

Cool!!!!!!! :D

[xPackfanz]

people say they would want to see the beatles in concert, which i understand because so would i, but you wouldnt be able to hear them with all the screaming!

[AnnHattieAnn]

@xPackfanz You are absolutely right. I SAW the Beatles in concert in Las Vegas - August 1964 ... *sigh* I never did hear them ... ;o].

[malondo7]

I just love what you've done with these lovely images and luvly Rita!!!

[foreverrbieberr]

[hushedwun1234]

@ritamjbea me 2 yay rita's Xx

[thehognias]

@ritamjbea

Thanks for sharing. That is unbelievable! To think, you share a first name with 1.7 million other women around the world. What are the odds? Your enthusiam, as evidenced by the use of five exclamation points, is totally understandable. Good thing you aren't also a meter maid or else your head may have exploded.

[Glarium1]

@thehognias thanks for the chuckle

[ritamjbea]

@thehognias first of all ur not funny and what is the point of making such a big deal out of this i mean who cares. u tried to be cool but hey in the end i actually got some likes and as i can see u haven't so think hard what was the point? and actually yes i am a meter maid...

[scyllaandcharybdis]

@ritamjbea unfortunately there isn't a beatles song that has my name in it BUT.. i do however share my birthday with a beatle member!!!....Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bass player for the beatles!!!! born june 23rd, same as me! :)

[ritamjbea]

@scyllaandcharybdis lol i was born on 9th october which is john lennons bday as well as being called rita :)

[scyllaandcharybdis]

@ritamjbea oh cool! so we both have birthdays with beatles members! you with lennon and me with stuart sutcliffe (one of the original beatles) but ur one ahead of me cus ur name is in a beatles song!!! lovely rita! ... noooooo lol :(.. i'm tryin to think wot else connects myself to the beatles now, its hard :(.. r u on facebook? x

[ritamjbea]

@scyllaandcharybdis yh r u on fb?

[platypusrex256]

@ritamjbea are you a meter maid?

[timmhg]

The very first time I listen this song I was 5, after that, I didn't stop to listen the Pepper album cassette, and this songs was my loved one. Same effect with my son 6 years old, he plays it all the time.

[timmhg]

The mother of all the bands.

[lladsbid]

after day in the life this is probably my favorite sgt peppers song

[halzduk]

Please confirm; is it really George Martin playing the piano solo in this song? :O

[99paulmccartney]

@halzduk go to wikipedia~!

[halzduk]

@99paulmccartney well yeah I did that before I posted this comment and needed confirmation on it (;

[DiazdelVivar]

@halzduk yes is him... he recorded in a slower tempo and lower key (3 semitones lower C instead of Eb) to be able to do the last scale just with the hand passing above of the white keys of the piano... He actually made that solo; maybe this should be a Lennon-MacCartney-Martin song...or maybe not.. ??? it's been always vague when you should become a co-writer

[totaldramabeatles]

this is my fav song on pepper 

[Joanamosi]

@thingthing94 not?

[ward36]

Best bass line ever in music

[RednaZela]

I''m a John man myself, but this is one of the many Paul songs that I love. The melodies and harmonies are fantastic. Hell yeah.

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

Those girls are pathetic....

[TheDianabana]

I was there too

[splofft]

very nice track. Gotta love the little piano solo!!

[goriokun]

everyone gets retardedXD

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

From their best album "Sgt. Pepper..." Every song on this album is a classic!

[mrstevehartman]

@Knivesandpens1997 And nothing to get hung about.... Strawberry Fields Forever !

[Knivesandpens1997]

is my song,mah name is rita im seroius

[fourtyfrets]

good video

[lovelikeasunset1]

the quality of this video it's so great!

[splofft]

@lovelikeasunset1 its from ''a hard days night'' movie, if i'm correct.

[UThinkIamContra]

Lovely Retard

[mrstevehartman]

Lovely Reeter, peter maid !

[FuckBieber]

The beggining is my favorite. 

[lviscitomasna]

JOHN LENNON AND PAUL MCCARTNEY !! THE BEST OF SIGLE !

[mcamorra]

MY PERRITA BOBTAIL RITA SE FUE CON GEORGES Y JOHN ESTAS NAVIDADES, AHORA HA VENIDO DEL CIELO YOKO CON MENSAJES DE RITA. DESDE 1969 NOS ACOMPAÑAN MARTHA, RINGO, COCA, ZEPPO, SALLY, TULA, RITA VELAN POR NOSOTROS A TTRAVES DEL UNIVERSO, Y YOKO ES SU REENCARNACION EN LA TIERRA.

[nikeman128]

that movie was good

[SuperBeatlesfan12]

Paul was in a car crash in 1966 but he didn't die he just chipped if you dont believe me look at the videos for rain and paperback writer.

[wellmanfoster]

I cant decide side one or two to me they are equal cool

[stickmandxxd]

That solo on the piano is AMAZING :')

[scissortastic]

wow.. i actually feel kind of bad for them that the girls were that crazy.

[flyingmigget]

that bitch killed paul in a car crash

[ringostarruk2]

@flyingmigget paul McCartney isnt dead... O.o

[yoda9148]

@ringostarruk2 yea you are right paul is not dead. but there was a conspiracy that paul was killed in a car crash and replaced with a look-alike. this was supposedly supported by hidden clues in certain Beatles songs like the back-playing of revolution 9 saying turn me on dead man (it does ive done it) but its still all crap dont believe it

[messyjesse009]

@yoda9148 yea if that did happen what are the odds that they find a british person that knows every song on piano guitar and bass and is also left handed

[kitush64]

this is a test

[kitush64]

Its more then just about sex, its more about Lovely Rita, who is willing to be free and take some time to take tea with me. To wink and make me think of her. 

[BloteAapOpVoeten]

@kitush64

yesss you got it man ;) she's filling everyone's meters and they want her attention. she's a hot chick in other words

[kitush64]

Its not sex with Rita, its more of Lovely Rita and what I will do without her...

[Pualwazhere]

Love the kazoo in this song!!!

[ysam14]

@Pualwazhere The Kazoo is actually John and George playing the comb with paper on it...lol.

[alterego227]

@Pualwazhere They used toilet paper and plastic combs for the kazoos.

[gdosic]

I love that song!!

the Boys in the buckram are having a grand old time making funny noises and saying rude things with the sound turned way up for a change.

[markanthonyartist]

brillant edit ; thanks man ;;;;;;;;;; u sick basterd haaaaa

lov u mark

[h3llknight]

what's happening to all those spectating ladies? They're either on drugs or they're having orgasms :P Love the song btw ;)

[edwardelricfangirl1]

this is such a good song

[RyugaJack576]

our english teacher ...

[XXXsm3xiiiXXX]

My mum's name is Rita - whenever someone meets her they sing 'lovely rita, meter maid' to her ^_^

[hthebeatlesfangirl96]

My nickname is Rita! :D

[lillyoo799]

i love the lass in the audience, that mouths john...

[RitaMaria72]

Here is one Rita, too :)

[berbrl]

MY sisters name is rita :D

[GunsNAerosmithRoses]

One word...AMAZING!!!

[Telang10Bayawak]

Best Intro ever! Thanks John , Paul , George and Ringo!

[cmw198302]

God...there is just nothing better than the intro to this song and John's "ahhh"... love it

[otacs2]

Een van mijn favorieten ;D

De tekst is best grappig "When are you free to take some tea with me" of heb ik slechte humor? x]

[ScholarlySquirrel]

this is one of my favourite beatles song but hardly anyones heard of it D: i love the little piano bit in the middle lol

[Xsrita000kikyoX]

exelente cancion .... rita!!!!

[JessicaBarbie]

lol at 0:11 some girl falling D:

[Bbuuddyy54]

Nice Video, Great Song, Best Group ever!

God bless the Beatles

[myhat2u]

I am 42 years old. Old enough to remember spinning Beatles records on a record player.

I also remember a time when life was fun and we had Constitutional rights. This video, although combining song and video that didn't really happen at the time, really captures the innocence of days gone by that I hope will return for future generations.

Thanks to the YouTube author, whoever you are. :)

[witmachine]

@myhat2u I'm sorry for you...

[thehognias]

@myhat2u

What constitutional rights have you lost? You must be a liberal drug user.

[hagnuj]

ringo and george all about simplicity. very creative time.

[makinawdandy6699]

Listen to that sound!! Beautiful.

[btm0905]

Sgt PEPPERS

[Venplex]

I'm dieing to know, what album is this from?

[Blasphemer2]

@venplex

it's from sgt. pepper.

if you don't have it, get it!!

[scaires2]

@ venplex how do u not have that album and abbey road for that matter lol

[RickKonostaa]

great song, love it

[Killinfloor]

Okay so on Wikipedia, it says that George Harrison played a slide guitar part on this song? Now where exactly is this part at? I've tried listening to it many times and can not pick out a slide guitar part. Please help.

[DroBONILLA1]

Lovely rita, is amazingly clever.

[CharvakaJim]

I've always interpreted this song as a play on words. Rita in Sanskrit means "order or course of things", and refers to Karma and Dharma.

So it seems appropriate that Rita would be a meter-maid, keeping an eye on time and "the order/course of things". :)

[gabachocerote]

Yeah except Paul said he chose Rita because it was a nice name.

[schusterlehrling]

@CharvakaJim

How about a song about a meter maid?

And a few tickets.

A kind of daydream.

Nothing special, but might have been a chance for more...

[thenudediet]

@CharvakaJim wow :)

good to know, thnx for sharing that

[cshargeit]

show biz is so phony... at 2;09 to 2;10 you can see a chick morphing patti boyd. phony baloney-- no wonder john took on yoko.

[CafoneBeatles]

Thanks~!!

[CafoneBeatles]

Sorry, somone can explain me what's mean METER MAID?? i'M NOT ENGLISH
