Forty years later, still sounding as if they come from another planet. They're eternal.

The greatest pop/rock single ever released. Period!

@kenfig Are you sure he was a Gay Faggot? Maybe he's was just gay in real life?

Best Part 0:00 - 8:50

wow. seeing the presenter and the time context makes two already amazing songs seem even more cosmic.

First saw these clips (minus Van) on Top Of The Pops, in black & white when i was four years old ; must have been Feb / March '67

@dfktrex Van was a Gay Faggot in real life ; he also says this was 'filmed in Strawberry Fields' which is of course bullshit, as it was filmed nowhere near it ; it was Sevenoaks, Kent

@happybunny52354 One is able to hear the similarity in general arrangement to 'God Only Knows' if one slows Penny Lane down ; the general rhythum, piano & bass and 'clean' sound which Paul alluded to when saying he wanted it to sound like the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds
