Paperback Writer - The Beatles

[BlueMeanieSulk]

@the jobby96

I doubt that very much. If they were KKK, there would be less twats like you making stupid comments.

[grgeliz]

The harmony with George and Paul is exquisite.

[ChocolateHoneycomb]

This song and it's B-Side "Rain" are so underrated! Everyone forgets they made these songs. >=(

[FadeToBlack888]

@ChocolateHoneycomb people forget them because they didnt apear on an album i dont think :)

[thejoj96]

The beatles were in the KKK

[bobcinq]

I had a friend who thought Paul was saying, "take the back license". Doesn't make any difference. Lyrics don't matter, its a great song.

[rosebuddy47]

This song is one of my favs by them but one of the few artists where I like most anything they recorded---super talented--all four--too bad we lost 2 of them--much too young to be gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ProtestMoveOn]

This song still rocks.

[1willhughes]

PURPLE  FLATS!!!!!!!

[jogdee1955]

Really a Great song!

[VAMPIREGIRL0121]

This song is awesome! I just finished writing my book, I hope the darling people will take a look. ^-^

[J45USER]

what happened to this kind of music? 

[maurepasgirl]

@J45USER Justin Bieber runied it....

[J45USER]

@maurepasgirl lol haha that's exactly what i was thinking

[chucklesartandmusic]

@J45USER

autotune and synthesizers

[1492tomato]

@chucklesartandmusic You're joking, right?

[DeathWatchatMidnight]

God, I love the sound of John's Rickenbacker and Vox !!!

[Sharkis12]

The openning riff is amazing...

[Drmultiman]

Cleaning wife not clinging wife

[TheOctopussysGarden]

We made a freaky arrangement of this (and other) song by The Beatles , want you listen?

This is not spam...or probably it is :-S

...however, please visit our channel!!!

ah ah ah ah ah

[mariangeles0B]

I do'nt really like their lirics in this song, but I love how the music sounds. Specially the guitar...

[TraedpoD]

Does anybody else notice the background is singing "Frere Jacques"? O.o

[madmonkeymcnite]

0:05 yeah!

[mac36009]

i moved in next door to the one person on the planet who doesnt like the beatles witch is a bloody shame they are so awsome i remember growing up and listening to them on the radio. now its this new age crap that i just dont understand always talking about sex and drugs. what ever happend to good ole rock en roll?

[becerrarwj]

My favorite song :)

[manco82]

Nonsense lyrics to fit the great instrumental.

[blueshadowedwolf56]

why did they have to split?

[funnyasdeath]

"Pay the black writer...."

[leftymu]

I do much prefer the earlier songs of the Beatles, I didn't like the psychedelc era, they sort of went a bit weird. But at the end of the day they are legends. Also I saw Paul at the 02 yesterday!!!!!!!

[trinisexgod]

amazing. non-one todat could write this

[BOTANYBAY37]

My favorite song from my favorite group !

[Syzygy60]

nevermind



[Syzygy60]

[340rps]

.. For over 30 years I thought they were saying "pay for that chrysler"

[Poet2916]

This is my anthem. I am a paperback writer. :D

[Sh4d0w417]

Damn i miss the old youtube...when it replays the video for you.

[AdamCKY123]

Simply the coolest guitar riff ever.

[Syzygy60]

and u can have sex with musical vibrations...ask me how :)

[pdeere436]

@Syzygy60 How?

[Syzygy60]

Paul's best

[zenmachinefilms]

Games Beatles play: Listen to the backing vocals at 1:20: "Frère Jacques"

[stackedactor1]

@zenmachinefilms I've heard this song a thousand times and never noticed that! Good catch!

[jrockluv]

I'm in love with the Fab Four. Sexy, talented, witty, awesome, what more can i ask for?

[LordCleverDavid]

im 14 and people always ask me:

What job i'd like to be, I say them fuck u i want to be a PAPERBACK WRIIIIITEEEEEEEEEERRRRR!!!!

[kyussfan6]

Type O Negative took the bassline!

[Syzygy60]

I'm not a big Paul fan but i had my 1st dream with him in it last night,I was bragging about knowing him

[randeezydizzle]

rock n fckn roll

[NinetiesYouth]

[1skullduggery]

@NinetiesYouth it's frere jacques.

[krikites]

PRESS 1 fOR BEATLES

PRESS 2 FOR MORE BESTLES

PRESS 3 FOR EVEN MORE BEATLES

PRESS ALT+f4 IF YOU DISLIKE OF THE BEATLES

[TheMrwouldyourather]

@krikites Is English not your first language or something? AND WERE THE CAPS REALLY THAT NECESSARY?!

[southparkfan2717]

BEATLES FOREVER!!!!!

[NCISGeek123]

The Beatles is the best ever. Even Westlife or New Kids on the Block or Jonas Brothers cannot beat them.

[0davion0]

[it is a dirty story of a dirty man] great lyrics :D

[Ilsepils1995]

Yahoo, a song of live! Does anyone know from what album this song is?

[1skullduggery]

@Ilsepils1995 it's from 'hey jude', initially; shows up on compilations as well.

[Ilsepils1995]

@1skullduggery

Hey Jude isn't an album. I have been searching for it, but I can only find the song Hey Jude...

[1skullduggery]

@Ilsepils1995 i looked it up. it at least USED to exist.(cap. 90442). looking up the contents, i see this was in fact a collection as well. it could be out of print. the song was perhaps one that was not officially released on an original album. you may just have to get it on a collection of hits of some other sort, such as 62' to 66' or past masters, etc. sorry for the mislead.

[Ilsepils1995]

@1skullduggery Ahaa, now I understand! Nevermind, btw. I'll search for it later then. Thank you! =D

[Anthonenanimity]

the drop was so dirty, it fixed my sense of music and sent me here...

[brittondurham88]

I LOVE THE BEATLES!!! THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!! NOBODY COULD EVEN COME CLOSE TO TALENT LIKE THIS EVER AGAIN!!! BEATLES FAN FOREVER!!! FUCK YOU JUSTIN BIEBER!!!

[WeedKrop]

One thing that thoroughly bothers me about the Beatles is that their songs only go for 1-2 minutes each.

They're forgiven though, 'cause the songs are great, and their albums always have a lot of tracks.

[wds001]

@WeedKrop It was specific to the times, it was intentional, the radio stations almost demanded it, when they pulled off HEY JUDE, the SEVEN MINUTE wonder, and the stations played it, it was groundbreaking, some of the longer songs that were done, would be edited down for radio play. So what you do is play one after the next, it will take you a long time to get back to the beginning and repeat ,,,,, God Bless, and have a Great Life

[funnyfunguyfriend321]

The Beatles: Making random things awesomer since 1962. From paperback writers to silly word like obladi-oblada

[Ilsepils1995]

Omg, why have I never heard this song before a minute or five ago?! It rocks, it's great!

[AlexRmex]

OMG I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHOO WOULD DISLIKE ANY OF THE BEATLES SONGS!!!!!!!!!!! THEY MUST BE BLIND AND HAVE CONFUSED THE BUTTONS -__-

[nachoandcheese1]

I love this sooongg!!!

[tiger37gymnast]

PAYPA BACK WROI-TUHHH!

[scottgeshen]

@demarcus 1016--I don't a pencil, but I hear a typewriter...

[Syzygy60]

Paul's bass is innovative



[demarcus1016]

love this song, especially the pencil scrating in the background lol

[golfwangmuthafuka]

does anyone else here the farashakas?

[cristiandonosoc]

@golfwangmuthafuka You are missing what appears to be a verb

[avdreader1]

my favorite beatles sons are: 3 Stawberry Fields...2 Happiness is a warm Gun...1 paperback writer

[OlymPigs2010]

....Its a dirty story of a dirty man.....a US President no doubt!!!

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

A TWO minute song. Jesus.

[osmosys808]

The only thing about this song I don't like is that it isn't long enough!

[SonicTheBluHedgehog]

@osmosys808 How? It's a thousand pages, give or take a few.

[osmosys808]

@SonicTheBluHedgehog hehe

[WaltzMooreAna]

I off course meant 'an' expansion :3 My 'n' button is failing to work sometimes XD

[WaltzMooreAna]

Would be funny if the made a expansion pack for the sims where you can get all of the Beatles outfits en Beatle stuff and that you can make John, Paul, George and Ringo! :3 Thumps up if you would totally buy it! XD (I would)

[roscoegino]

11 people used to work at Borders.

[iTonysShow]

guys, how many times must i tell you.. the red button is NOT the download button...

[DaftD0g]

@iTonysShow What red button?

[iTonysShow]

@DaftD0g

the dislike button

[DaftD0g]

@iTonysShow That button isn't red on the new Youtube theme.

[TPlushGumble]

@DaftD0g he probably copy and pasted that joke from some other top comment that was made months ago...

[LucidEyes17]

This is the riff from Break On Through. Apparently Morrison was a Beatles fan

[Bazzaroo80]

i wanna have sex with the bass in this song.

[VoTzGaming]

@Bazzaroo80 I can plzy the bass to dis song. ^_^

[IAmTheWalrus123123]

What does he want to be? A writer of sorts?

[TheHoodieBro]

Paperback Writer means author longtime ago. So yeah

[1skullduggery]

the backing voices sing "frere jacques". lol. games beatles play.

[TheButchersApron]

paaaaaperback wriiiiter! 

[Samaranation]

It is so freaking hot when they say "book"!!!!! ahhh...i could hear that over and over again. Specially Ringo. Heheheheeh

[MexicanChamp1000]

Why is The Black Eyed Peas in the description???? Can they sing, play instruments, write clean songs, such as the Beatles? No!

[2c1496]

HMMM I see there are 10 schmucks out there

[badalice07]

Listen to the guitar licks in this bitch! Wicked .

[xCowsCanFly]

i love this song.

can someone please tell me what its about though. i think it's about a guy who wants to write a paperback book, am i right?

[TheJofan317]

@xCowsCanFly yes you are



[xCowsCanFly]

@TheJofan317 thanks :)

[AbigailDouglas]

The Beatles Fact of the Day: Paperback Writer's backing vocals in the final verse are just John and George singing “Frere Jacques” over and over again. Paul's aunt had been nagging him for months to see if he could “compose a song that wasn't about love.” So he wrote this just to shut her up.

[robertschelly]

One of the greatest basslines.  Jumpin' Jack Flash comes to mind as well.

[LiquorWreckedEmGood]

only TWO MINUTES and NINETEEN SECONDS!!!!!!

holy cow!!!!!

[TheKlayMationDudes]

10 people got a hardcover

[pervysage35]

@TheKlayMationDudes

that's a pretty good one

[Live0Laugh0Twilight]

this one makes me smle and shake my head untill i get whiplash!

[Thamesy]

I'm lucky enough to have original albums tho sadly not in mint condition as I played them to death.........but the album covers and their contents are no less brilliant because of their usage x

[musicmaker1807]

oe noes i think i broke the like button

[thisisme203]

That image is a poster in my room!

[aepnlexi1319]

10 people's books were rejected

[Coshka77]

Isn't it amazing that in 2011, we listen to music on the computer, yet we still listen to the Beatles, Hendrix, Stones, and so many many more artists from different decades and eras. It just goes to show, the methods of listening may have changed, but the message stays the same :)

[membury999]

SOOO nice to have a song not about love, relationships, drugs etc....

[Totegalo]

@MrMGD92 Hey man, calm down! I've just seen this comment in another video and found it interesting. If you don't want to cooperate, just don't do it! I though that like a beatle fan , watching hey jude once per day wouldn't be a waste of time....

[Totegalo]

ATTENTION all Beatles fans,On July 15th, we will be watching the music video hey jude repeatedly all day to boost it's view count up to at the least of 100,000,000 views. You don't even have to listen to it. You can just keep playing the video back to back all the way through without sound. We're doing this to compete with Justin Beibers garbage music videos & to make The Beatles be heard across Youtube. Copy& Paste this across all Beatles videos. Spread the word!

[soisyourface1234]

@Totegalo why

[MrMGD92]

@Totegalo ATTENTION.....GET A LIFE.this is very sad and pathetic.

[Joeyojo]

I think the bass makes this song, it always upsets me a little when it comes over MW radio... which is really tinny

[rabidbunnies4u]

seriously get rid of the dislike button, people dislike perfect music because they are jealous and will be nowere near as good as them in their lifetime,i mean i know theres only 9 dislikes but seriously the beatles are one of the best,if not they are the best.

[Nicholosity]

@rabidbunnies4u but how will trolls live without their dislikes

[mrtacotheamazing]

@rabidbunnies4u or they do it cuz they feel special to be the only disliker :P

[yomommaeatstwinkies]

@rabidbunnies4u Different people have different opinions. I love the Beatles and I love this song, but not everyone is going to have the same opinions as me. That's why they don't get rid of the dislike button.

[rabidbunnies4u]

@yomommaeatstwinkies yes but if they dont like the song they shouldnt watch it..

[MeanrBeanr]

This song could have been recorded yesterday, it still sounds fresh decades later.

[BeatlesMegaMusic]

9 people arent a paperback writer

[SoulReaper1769]

jesus some of you are writing novels for comments, not giving any names ( guy below me )

[manwithouthat44]

I dont care that much for the beatles. BUt this song I really love. So catchy. But one thing I hate about it is how anticlimatic it is with that it stops a couple of times in the middle of songs when its building up and says paperback wriiiiiiiiteeer. and then it just stops and says paperback writer and then pick up again. I wish it just went on the whole time with that rythm building up without stopping, its really annoying and anticlimatic.

[farseer611]

@manwithouthat44 i agree.

[KingFishGuy]

@manwithouthat44 shut the fuck up

[manwithouthat44]

@KingFishGuy wtf man ? Just giving my opinion. I said I loved the song, what is up with you

[KingFishGuy]

@manwithouthat44 you said its annoying in the the last sentence, so you dont deserve to talk for like.. a long time

[manwithouthat44]

@KingFishGuy what a corny dude you are. What are you, 12?

[KingFishGuy]

@manwithouthat44 lol no but i read your name, men with out hat, i love that band so its all good now

[manwithouthat44]

@KingFishGuy Nice... Do you dance though ? Cause if you dont dance then youre no friend of mine.

[KingFishGuy]

@manwithouthat44 i only dance if i want to :)

[manwithouthat44]

@KingFishGuy thats cool, you can dance if you want to. You can leave your friends behind.

......

Cause your friends dont dance and if they dont dance then theyre no friends of mine !

[durazno1616]

rolling stones are class...but the Beatles are on a level of their own...THE G.O.A.T

[mexicanmayhem88]

To me it sounds like their saying "It's based on a novel by a man named Nir" Its funny because I used to know a guy named Nir and he would laugh is ass off if he heard that

[brianwells456comcast]

@mexicanmayhem88 It`s "Lear" as in Edward Lear,a painter who sometimes wrote silly little throw away poems and ditties that made an impression on John Lennon.Never wrote a novel though!

[xXxTaylorRawrxXx]

Other than the intro this is the easiest song to learn on acoustic guitar :] Just G7 and C. 

[zsefgio62]

@xXxTaylorRawrxXx Try to learn the basspart! xD

[philhable]

@michaelwright999 Ha Ha, whats all that about? Are you getting bullied in school or something? You need to get your mum and dad to go up to the school and sort it, rather than coming on here and abusing people you dont even know, from the safety of your computer. Notice I haven't swore back, as I don't believe in swearing at kids, plus if your not being bullied, you may be retarded and its not right to abuse the afflicted. 

[philhable]

@michaelwright999 Oh by the way Here comes the sun, 20 million views, any sex in that, you thick C oops I almost forgot
