Sick of hearing how the whole world adores The Beatles? Well too bad my friend, because we are no different. Every year I listen to everything they ever made for a few days and you guessed it, it is that time of the year. Coo coo cachoo!
It seems that doing a Beatles cover is mandatory if you’re a band worth your salt. Almost everybody from Aerosmith to The Rolling Stones has done one with mixed results. I happen to know that Bean’s personal favorite is The Black Keys doing “She Said, She Said”. Yes, The Black Keys one is good and it’s number two on my list of best Beatles covers, but I don’t think anyone can top William Shatner. That’s right, Captain Kirk, doing a ‘dramatic reading’ of “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”.
If we had a band I’d vote for “You Know My Name, Look Up The Number”, because firstly, it’s one of my favorites and I think it would be hard to screw up: It only has two lines and you can use any genre of music in the song. Sadly, I’m not in a band – we do have some ideas for a cool band name though. All I need now are instruments, skillz, talent, stage presence and groupies, of course.
