Songs with nonsense lyrics are what’s called for this week. I shall spare you all the appalling ‘Agadoo’ (look it up if you must, but don’t blame me) to focus instead on these odd lyrics from a Beatles song that featured in an odd made-for-television film called, of course, ‘Magical Mystery Tour’.

Jim’s chosen the broad theme of ‘sizes’ for Song Lyric Sunday this week. He’s also exercised his ‘droit de seigneur’ by getting first dibs on what would have been my choice: George Harrison’s ‘Blue Jay Way’, from Magical Mystery Tour..

Post music videos for your answers to the musical questions. Tag two people to participate I’m skipping Rule Three,…
Right then, here is the second instalment of my contribution to the current 30-Day Song Challenge.7. A song to drive to: ‘Born To Be Wild’ “Get your motor running” Never having driven myself, I couldn’t say for certain what would be suitable for this category. However, this one needs no introduction and always reminds me…
“You and I have memories/longer than the road that lies ahead” – ‘Two Of Us’, by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon & McCartney), from the album ‘Let It Be’ – – – – – – – Last week’s One-Liner was about the future, so in the interests of editorial balance here’s one about the…
Well, my heart went “boom” When I crossed that room Song Lyric Sundays in February are going to be all about love, it seems.
