I told Paul McCartney what Team Monkey has been writing about him, and
he replied with a song.

(First verse and chorus; quoted as fair use):

Did you ever get hurt by the words people say
And the things that they do when they're picking on you?
Did you ever get sad by the end of the day
When they're making you feel like a rusty old wheel
That's been left in the rain

Who cares what the idiots say
Who cares what the idiots do
Who cares about the pain in your heart?
Who cares about you?
I do.

Please tell Mr. McCartney that he lost "it" years ago and hasn't gotten "it" back with this song. The song sucks rusty old wheels.

And, no, we don't care about you.

I am no Frankie Laine fan, but generally, I don't care for covers of
songs - especially rock-and-roll. Offhand, I can't think of one cover
that I really enjoy.

Yes, I thought of one. There are probably more.

On the Rubber Soul album, "You Won't See Me"

Covered by Anne Murray. John Lennon told her it was the best ever
cover of a Beatles song.

As a fan of the standards, I'm partial to "covers" -- since the thing that makes them "standards" is that everybody and their brother cuts their own version of them.

Regarding the Beatles, I'm not a fan. I like a few of their records... but only a few.

And I always prefer the covers of their records over the originals.

Frankie Laine's "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is my favorite Beatles cover.
Johnnie Ray's "Yesterday" and Jane Monheit's "Golden Slumbers"/"Long and Winding Road" medley are way up there as well.

What I can't stand is that singers of covers often interpret the song
differently and will even put extra notes in changing the melody.

It is a kind of narcissism IMO.

It is a kind of narcissism IMO.
Any form of entertaining is narcissistic to a large degree. In order to sing in front of a crowd, you have to think that your voice is better than most everyone else's... and that people would want to pay to hear it. Poets are narcissistic in that they think they're thoughts are worthy of being read, and possibly repeated, by others.

I have multiple versions of most of the 26,000 songs on my iPod. 25 versions of "After You've Gone," 22 versions of "Ain't Misbehavin'," 25 versions of "All of Me," 24 versions of "Georgia on My Mind" (and none of them are by Ray Charles); 27 versions of "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky," 24 versions of "Blues in the Night," 30 versions of "Stardust"... I don't even know which song I have the most versions of -- I'm just browsing through my i-library looking at random titles.

Many of the standards have been "covered" over and over since the late 20s/early 30s -- so it's almost impossible to pick a favorite version of them. But I've never ascribed to the modern theory that the first version is necessarily the best... just because it was first or because it was written by the singer. In the pre-rock 'n' roll era, it was common for 5 or 6 versions of the same song to be competing with one another on the charts -- and the charts only showed the Top Ten. When there's a lot of competition, it spurs creativity. It's a form of cultural evolution. Whereas sticking with the first version of a song would only spur singer-songwriters to compose more (not necessarily better) songs.

Yeah, I don't like most covers of rock and roll songs, but there are

"Stella by Starlight" is one of my favorites - Frank Sinatra, Ray
Charles and others.

Have you seen this?



"Stardust" - Nat King Cole and others.

Frankie Laine's "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is my favorite Beatles cover.
Johnnie Ray's "Yesterday" and Jane Monheit's "Golden Slumbers"/"Long and Winding Road" medley are way up there as well.
What I can't stand is that singers of covers often interpret the song
differently and will even put extra notes in changing the melody.
It is a kind of narcissism IMO.
Any form of entertaining is narcissistic to a large degree. In order to sing in front of a crowd, you have to think that your voice is better than most everyone else's... and that people would want to pay to hear it. Poets are narcissistic in that they think they're thoughts are worthy of being read, and possibly repeated, by others.
I have multiple versions of most of the 26,000 songs on my iPod. 25 versions of "After You've Gone," 22 versions of "Ain't Misbehavin'," 25 versions of "All of Me," 24 versions of "Georgia on My Mind" (and none of them are by Ray Charles); 27 versions of "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky," 24 versions of "Blues in the Night," 30 versions of "Stardust"... I don't even know which song I have the most versions of -- I'm just browsing through my i-library looking at random titles.
Many of the standards have been "covered" over and over since the late 20s/early 30s -- so it's almost impossible to pick a favorite version of them. But I've never ascribed to the modern theory that the first version is necessarily the best... just because it was first or because it was written by the singer. In the pre-rock 'n' roll era, it was common for 5 or 6 versions of the same song to be competing with one another on the charts -- and the charts only showed the Top Ten. When there's a lot of competition, it spurs creativity. It's a form of cultural evolution. Whereas sticking with the first version of a song would only spur singer-songwriters to compose more (not necessarily better) songs.
Yeah, I don't like most covers of rock and roll songs, but there are
others.
"Stella by Starlight" is one of my favorites - Frank Sinatra, Ray
Charles and others.
Have you seen this?

"Stardust" - Nat King Cole and others.
Yes... but it's always worth another watch. Thanks for posting it.

I told Paul McCartney what Team Monkey has been writing about him, and
he replied with a song.
Did you ever get hurt by the words people say

Please tell Mr. McCartney that he lost "it" years ago and hasn't gotten "it" back with this song. The song sucks rusty old wheels.

The worst "Maxwell" cover of all time has to be Steve Martin's:

Everything I've heard from Steve Martin did on camera, from "King Tut"

The worst version I ever heard, that wasn't meant to be bad, was this

meant that, because of Canada's regulation requiring 30% of AM songs to

Supposedly John Lennon had been consulted by the producers of "All This and World War II" (a 1977 film featuring WWII documentary footage set to covers of Lennon/McCartney songs by contemporary rock/pop stars (the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, etc.) and Frankie Laine. Lennon was a big Frankie Laine fan and is believed to have suggested using him for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I say "believed" because the sources cannot confirm it.

Mr. Laine thought the song was "the most weirdest" thing he'd ever recorded, but I think that the song perfectly suits his style. Like I said, it's a huge favorite of mine.

Steve Martin's shtick was intentionally bad comedy... when he first started out. However, his second film, "Pennies from Heaven," is a masterpiece -- for which he should have won an Academy Award. The film flopped largely because his fans were expecting another bad camp comedy, and got his with a relentlessly grim art film instead.

They weren't as bad as that sample makes them sound. I saw them when
they played our uni, and I enjoyed them. They had a low-key pop sound,
very much like the early Carpenters, but they'd branch into folk and
country. Here's a more representative example of their sound:

I told Paul McCartney what Team Monkey has been writing about him, and
he replied with a song.
Did you ever get hurt by the words people say
And the things that they do when they're picking on you?
Did you ever get sad by the end of the day
When they're making you feel like a rusty old wheel
That's been left in the rain
Who cares what the idiots say
Who cares what the idiots do
Who cares about the pain in your heart?
Who cares about you?
I do.
http://youtu.be/7WOb6ePqjIE
Please tell Mr. McCartney that he lost "it" years ago and hasn't gotten "it" back with this song. The song sucks rusty old wheels.
Just don't study pataphysics tonight.
My favorite version: http://youtu.be/rHV0aDetRSI
That's terrible, George. Nobody sings it like Paul.

Sorry about that, Michael. Health problems, and I can get confused.
Blood sugar and all that....
Post by Michael Pendragon
And as for Paul... when asked what he thought of Paul's abilities as a singer, Frankie Laine said that's he's a pretty good left-handed guitar player.
I am no Frankie Laine fan, but generally, I don't care for covers of
songs - especially rock-and-roll. Offhand, I can't think of one cover
that I really enjoy.
Then you haven't heard my excellent cover of a T Rex song.

Don't blame me; I'd never heard that version before (and probably never
will again). I agree it doesn't do anything for the singer's or the
songwriter's reputation, but I have heard worse. The version we heard on
Canadian radio (thanks to the Canadian Content regulations), by The
Bells, was far worse; they even had Joan studying "metaphysical science":

I haven't heard a version I liked better. When I first heard it, though,
I was convinced he'd written it for Ringo to sing; and only sang it
himself after Ringo came in with his own song.

What I can't stand is that singers of covers often interpret the song
differently and will even put extra notes in changing the melody.
It is a kind of narcissism IMO.
I just finished saying both points below to Mack way upthread, but
they're both in order here.
Post by General-Zod

Paul McCartney is the ultimate voice for his songs, and the grace notes
he added to Lennon's songs was excellent, learned, Paul Mc said, from
the Everly Brothers songs.
I usually like Paul's versions over anyone else's; I can't think of any
covers where I've liked the singer better.
But I always thought that song would've been more suited to Ringo, as he
usually did the comical songs. Indeed, my original thought, back when I
heard the album, was that Paul had written it for Ringo, but did it
himself after Ringo showed up with "Octopus's Garden".
Supposedly John Lennon had been consulted by the producers of "All This and World War II" (a 1977 film featuring WWII documentary footage set to covers of Lennon/McCartney songs by contemporary rock/pop stars (the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, etc.) and Frankie Laine. Lennon was a big Frankie Laine fan and is believed to have suggested using him for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I say "believed" because the sources cannot confirm it.
Mr. Laine thought the song was "the most weirdest" thing he'd ever recorded, but I think that the song perfectly suits his style. Like I said, it's a huge favorite of mine.

**********Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Maxwell's Silver
Hammer [Steve Martin]**********
That was awful, but I think intentionally so it doesn't count.
Everything I've heard from Steve Martin did on camera, from "King Tut"
to "Reality - What a Concept" to "The Jerk", seemed designed to look
badly done on purpose.
Steve Martin's shtick was intentionally bad comedy... when he first started out. However, his second film, "Pennies from Heaven," is a masterpiece -- for which he should have won an Academy Award. The film flopped largely because his fans were expecting another bad camp comedy, and got his with a relentlessly grim art film instead.
Post by George J. Dance
The worst version I ever heard, that wasn't meant to be bad, was this
one by the Bells. The record co. put it on the B-side of a single; which
meant that, because of Canada's regulation requiring 30% of AM songs to
be Canadian content, the Bells' version was the one we heard on the
radio most of the time.
http://youtu.be/hC0ufT_ms60
Interesting story, we used to hear Canadian radio up in Buffalo....
If you were listening to Canadian radio in late 1970, I'm sure you heard
The Bells, Fly Little White Dove, Fly

Supposedly John Lennon had been consulted by the producers of "All This and World War II" (a 1977 film featuring WWII documentary footage set to covers of Lennon/McCartney songs by contemporary rock/pop stars (the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, etc.) and Frankie Laine. Lennon was a big Frankie Laine fan and is believed to have suggested using him for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I say "believed" because the sources cannot confirm it.
Mr. Laine thought the song was "the most weirdest" thing he'd ever recorded, but I think that the song perfectly suits his style. Like I said, it's a huge favorite of mine.

**********Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Maxwell's Silver
Hammer [Steve Martin]**********
That was awful, but I think intentionally so it doesn't count.
Everything I've heard from Steve Martin did on camera, from "King Tut"
to "Reality - What a Concept" to "The Jerk", seemed designed to look
badly done on purpose.
Steve Martin's shtick was intentionally bad comedy... when he first started out. However, his second film, "Pennies from Heaven," is a masterpiece -- for which he should have won an Academy Award. The film flopped largely because his fans were expecting another bad camp comedy, and got his with a relentlessly grim art film instead.

The worst version I ever heard, that wasn't meant to be bad, was this
one by the Bells. The record co. put it on the B-side of a single; which
meant that, because of Canada's regulation requiring 30% of AM songs to
be Canadian content, the Bells' version was the one we heard on the
radio most of the time.

Interesting story, we used to hear Canadian radio up in Buffalo....
If you were listening to Canadian radio in late 1970, I'm sure you heard
The Bells, Fly Little White Dove, Fly
http://youtu.be/IFSMXPmeX8s
I'm pretty sure I never heard it, but great to find out about music I've missed.
I could go on and on, but I guess that's enough about them here. For now
here's one more song, just to whet your interest: their cover of John
Lennon's "Oh My Love".

Thanks George, I'll look The Bells up.

What I can't stand is that singers of covers often interpret the song
differently and will even put extra notes in changing the melody.
It is a kind of narcissism IMO.

Paul McCartney is the ultimate voice for his songs, and the grace notes
he added to Lennon's songs was excellent, learned, Paul Mc said, from
the Everly Brothers songs.
I usually like Paul's versions over anyone else's; I can't think of any
covers where I've liked the singer better.
But I always thought that song would've been more suited to Ringo, as he
usually did the comical songs. Indeed, my original thought, back when I
heard the album, was that Paul had written it for Ringo, but did it

usually did the comical songs. Indeed, my original thought, back when I
heard the album, was that Paul had written it for Ringo, but did it
himself after Ringo showed up with "Octopus's Garden".
Supposedly John Lennon had been consulted by the producers of "All This and World War II" (a 1977 film featuring WWII documentary footage set to covers of Lennon/McCartney songs by contemporary rock/pop stars (the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, etc.) and Frankie Laine. Lennon was a big Frankie Laine fan and is believed to have suggested using him for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I say "believed" because the sources cannot confirm it.
Mr. Laine thought the song was "the most weirdest" thing he'd ever recorded, but I think that the song perfectly suits his style. Like I said, it's a huge favorite of mine.

Hammer [Steve Martin]**********
That was awful, but I think intentionally so it doesn't count.
Everything I've heard from Steve Martin did on camera, from "King Tut"
to "Reality - What a Concept" to "The Jerk", seemed designed to look
badly done on purpose.
Steve Martin's shtick was intentionally bad comedy... when he first started out. However, his second film, "Pennies from Heaven," is a masterpiece -- for which he should have won an Academy Award. The film flopped largely because his fans were expecting another bad camp comedy, and got his with a relentlessly grim art film instead.

The worst version I ever heard, that wasn't meant to be bad, was this
one by the Bells. The record co. put it on the B-side of a single; which
meant that, because of Canada's regulation requiring 30% of AM songs to
be Canadian content, the Bells' version was the one we heard on the
radio most of the time.

Interesting story, we used to hear Canadian radio up in Buffalo....
If you were listening to Canadian radio in late 1970, I'm sure you heard
The Bells, Fly Little White Dove, Fly
http://youtu.be/IFSMXPmeX8s
I'm pretty sure I never heard it, but great to find out about music I've missed.
I could go on and on, but I guess that's enough about them here. For now
here's one more song, just to whet your interest: their cover of John
Lennon's "Oh My Love".

one by the Bells. The record co. put it on the B-side of a single; which
meant that, because of Canada's regulation requiring 30% of AM songs to
be Canadian content, the Bells' version was the one we heard on the
radio most of the time.

Interesting story, we used to hear Canadian radio up in Buffalo.....
If you were listening to Canadian radio in late 1970, I'm sure you heard
The Bells, Fly Little White Dove, Fly
http://youtu.be/IFSMXPmeX8s
I'm pretty sure I never heard it, but great to find out about music I've missed.
I could go on and on, but I guess that's enough about them here. For now
here's one more song, just to whet your interest: their cover of John
Lennon's "Oh My Love".

What I can't stand is that singers of covers often interpret the song
differently and will even put extra notes in changing the melody.
It is a kind of narcissism IMO.
I just finished saying both points below to Mack way upthread, but
they're both in order here.

Paul McCartney is the ultimate voice for his songs, and the grace notes
he added to Lennon's songs was excellent, learned, Paul Mc said, from
the Everly Brothers songs.
I usually like Paul's versions over anyone else's; I can't think of any
covers where I've liked the singer better.
But I always thought that song would've been more suited to Ringo, as he
usually did the comical songs. Indeed, my original thought, back when I
heard the album, was that Paul had written it for Ringo, but did it
himself after Ringo showed up with "Octopus's Garden".
Supposedly John Lennon had been consulted by the producers of "All This and World War II" (a 1977 film featuring WWII documentary footage set to covers of Lennon/McCartney songs by contemporary rock/pop stars (the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, etc.) and Frankie Laine. Lennon was a big Frankie Laine fan and is believed to have suggested using him for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I say "believed" because the sources cannot confirm it.
Mr. Laine thought the song was "the most weirdest" thing he'd ever recorded, but I think that the song perfectly suits his style. Like I said, it's a huge favorite of mine.

**********Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Maxwell's Silver
Hammer [Steve Martin]**********
That was awful, but I think intentionally so it doesn't count.
Everything I've heard from Steve Martin did on camera, from "King Tut"
to "Reality - What a Concept" to "The Jerk", seemed designed to look
badly done on purpose.
Steve Martin's shtick was intentionally bad comedy.... when he first started out. However, his second film, "Pennies from Heaven," is a masterpiece -- for which he should have won an Academy Award. The film flopped largely because his fans were expecting another bad camp comedy, and got his with a relentlessly grim art film instead.

Interesting story, we used to hear Canadian radio up in Buffalo.....
If you were listening to Canadian radio in late 1970, I'm sure you heard
The Bells, Fly Little White Dove, Fly
http://youtu.be/IFSMXPmeX8s
I'm pretty sure I never heard it, but great to find out about music I've missed.
I could go on and on, but I guess that's enough about them here. For now
here's one more song, just to whet your interest: their cover of John
Lennon's "Oh My Love".
http://youtu.be/-SXAzHHm1JQ
Thanks George, I'll lick your Balls up.
Forgery ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
a post-edit: Will wrote "... I'll look the Bells up" and MMP made a
gaylame. Just another homophobic post-edited joke from a homophobic
post-editing joker.

ROTFLMAO. The post-edit has always been clearly attributed to me, George. Anyone wishing to see who wrote it only needs to scroll up to Will's original post.

You've only officially been on Team Donkey for three weeks (by your own estimation) and you've already become as delusional as your cohorts.

What I can't stand is that singers of covers often interpret the song
differently and will even put extra notes in changing the melody.
It is a kind of narcissism IMO.
I just finished saying both points below to Mack way upthread, but
they're both in order here.

Paul McCartney is the ultimate voice for his songs, and the grace notes
he added to Lennon's songs was excellent, learned, Paul Mc said, from
the Everly Brothers songs.
I usually like Paul's versions over anyone else's; I can't think of any
covers where I've liked the singer better.
But I always thought that song would've been more suited to Ringo, as he
usually did the comical songs. Indeed, my original thought, back when I
heard the album, was that Paul had written it for Ringo, but did it
himself after Ringo showed up with "Octopus's Garden".
Supposedly John Lennon had been consulted by the producers of "All This and World War II" (a 1977 film featuring WWII documentary footage set to covers of Lennon/McCartney songs by contemporary rock/pop stars (the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, etc.) and Frankie Laine. Lennon was a big Frankie Laine fan and is believed to have suggested using him for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I say "believed" because the sources cannot confirm it.
Mr. Laine thought the song was "the most weirdest" thing he'd ever recorded, but I think that the song perfectly suits his style. Like I said, it's a huge favorite of mine.

That was awful, but I think intentionally so it doesn't count.
Everything I've heard from Steve Martin did on camera, from "King Tut"
to "Reality - What a Concept" to "The Jerk", seemed designed to look
badly done on purpose.
Steve Martin's shtick was intentionally bad comedy... when he first started out. However, his second film, "Pennies from Heaven," is a masterpiece -- for which he should have won an Academy Award. The film flopped largely because his fans were expecting another bad camp comedy, and got his with a relentlessly grim art film instead.

The worst version I ever heard, that wasn't meant to be bad, was this
one by the Bells. The record co. put it on the B-side of a single; which
meant that, because of Canada's regulation requiring 30% of AM songs to
be Canadian content, the Bells' version was the one we heard on the
radio most of the time.

That wasn't a "forgery," you nitwit. That was post-edited response.

Since the original response still exists, the post-edit could not realistically have been intended to fool anyone.

I'd ask how stupid you could possibly be, but your lifestyle choice says it all.

Let's ask a lawyer:

"In the most broad terms, Forgery is the act of falsifying a writing with the intent to deceive another individual or entity, and is traditionally a state – and not federal – level offense. Only the most serious Forgery cases are brought by federal prosecutors – and they are punished very severely."

https://jeffreylichtman.com/new-york-federal-crimes-lawyer/forgery/#:~:text=In%20the%20most%20broad%20terms,they%20are%20punished%20very%20severely.

Since I have already demonstrated that there was no intent to deceive, no act of forgery was committed.

I doubt it's legally actionable, like forging a cheque, but ethically it
comes to the same thing. They're both "reality-faking," as Rand would
say, or "bearing false witness," as the Bible would say.

The quote was made by Jeffrey Lichtman, a "New York Federal Forgery Lawyer," so you needn't "doubt it's legally actionable" -- it isn't.

And, no, mocking someone else is not "reality-faking" or "bearing false witness," as no attempt is being made to deceive anyone. Such would constitute defamation of character, which could be punishable if it impacted one's career or income.

People are making fun of the group's buffoon. That's all.

What I can't stand is that singers of covers often interpret the song
differently and will even put extra notes in changing the melody.
It is a kind of narcissism IMO.
I just finished saying both points below to Mack way upthread, but
they're both in order here.

Paul McCartney is the ultimate voice for his songs, and the grace notes
he added to Lennon's songs was excellent, learned, Paul Mc said, from
the Everly Brothers songs.
I usually like Paul's versions over anyone else's; I can't think of any
covers where I've liked the singer better.
But I always thought that song would've been more suited to Ringo, as he
usually did the comical songs. Indeed, my original thought, back when I
heard the album, was that Paul had written it for Ringo, but did it
himself after Ringo showed up with "Octopus's Garden".
Supposedly John Lennon had been consulted by the producers of "All This and World War II" (a 1977 film featuring WWII documentary footage set to covers of Lennon/McCartney songs by contemporary rock/pop stars (the Bee Gees, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Tina Turner, etc.) and Frankie Laine. Lennon was a big Frankie Laine fan and is believed to have suggested using him for "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I say "believed" because the sources cannot confirm it.
Mr. Laine thought the song was "the most weirdest" thing he'd ever recorded, but I think that the song perfectly suits his style. Like I said, it's a huge favorite of mine.

**********Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Maxwell's Silver
Hammer [Steve Martin]**********
That was awful, but I think intentionally so it doesn't count.
Everything I've heard from Steve Martin did on camera, from "King Tut"
to "Reality - What a Concept" to "The Jerk", seemed designed to look
badly done on purpose.
Steve Martin's shtick was intentionally bad comedy... when he first started out. However, his second film, "Pennies from Heaven," is a masterpiece -- for which he should have won an Academy Award. The film flopped largely because his fans were expecting another bad camp comedy, and got his with a relentlessly grim art film instead.

The worst version I ever heard, that wasn't meant to be bad, was this
one by the Bells. The record co. put it on the B-side of a single; which
meant that, because of Canada's regulation requiring 30% of AM songs to
be Canadian content, the Bells' version was the one we heard on the
radio most of the time.
http://youtu.be/hC0ufT_ms60
Interesting story, we used to hear Canadian radio up in Buffalo....
If you were listening to Canadian radio in late 1970, I'm sure you heard
The Bells, Fly Little White Dove, Fly
http://youtu.be/IFSMXPmeX8s
I'm pretty sure I never heard it, but great to find out about music I've missed.
I could go on and on, but I guess that's enough about them here.. For now
here's one more song, just to whet your interest: their cover of John
Lennon's "Oh My Love".

"Snipping" a comment alters that comment, George. Don't you agree?

"Snipping" a comment changes its meaning, George. Don't you agree?

By your own definition, "snipping" a comment would constitute a post-edit. Don't you agree?

Whether you add or subtract words makes no difference.

You're still attributing a false statement to someone else.
