Tonight, while we were watching the CBS Beatles’ Special The Night That Changed America, Olivia looked over and asked my 4-year-old daughter Sara, “what is your favorite Beatles’ song?” She replied, “how about I give you my top 10,” and without missing a beat rattled off the following list:
- Eleanor Rigby (McCartney / Revolver / 1966)
- A Day in the Life (Lennon-McCartney / Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band / 1967)
- Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (Lennon / Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band / 1967)
- Hey Bulldog (Lennon / Yellow Submarine / 1969)
- Yellow Submarine (McCartney / Revolver / 1966)
- Magical Mystery Tour (McCartney / Magical Mystery Tour / 1967)
- Let it Be (McCartney / Let it Be / 1970)
- Octopus’ Garden (Starr / Abbey Road / 1969)
- Within You Without You (Harrison / Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band / 1967)
- Drive My Car (McCartney / Rubber Soul / 1965)
Track title (Primary Songwriter / Album / Release Year)
I quickly wrote them down as fast as I could while thinking….That’s My Girl!
BTW…Not a bad list for a 4-year-old!!
