The Beatles killed British Beat
The IKYABWAI Idiot stammered:
I'm always astonished that such vapid music achieves recognition among
the most musically literate people.
Maybe the most musically literate people don't find it vapid. For
instance, you mentioned "Good Day Sunshine," which has unbalancing
metrical tricks in the chorus. In context, it follows "She Said, She
Said" which also has non-standard meter but in a contrasted style. No
amount of analysis will make you like the song if you don't, but there's
plenty of musical interest there.
Hiding behind technical stuff again, I see. You still haven't proven you
know a mho from a tire tread.
Being an unschooled layman, I was talking about the superficial bit I
can grasp -- the sticky, gummy lyrics.
They remind George how empty his life is.
No pity for you!
