R&RF !

I think you have basically covered them all !

Out of those (and I think they were all great, although I thought Millson did a better version of Without You, and I won't even breathe the name of the latter day 'entertainer' who stuffed it completely... >:()

So, out of those, my particular faves are

Day After Day  (I think it they did the ending just right...)

Baby Blue

Ah what the heck the other two as well !


FB  :D

Thanks for the reply, FB.  I was beginning to think I was alone in my thoughts of this band ;)

Oh No !  Wrong (for once) R&RF !  :)

I think Badfinger are great, about the closest thing there really was to the Beatles (unsurprisingly, given their ties with them through Apple, I suppose)

It's a real shame they didn't last a bit longer.

I think from memory some of the band members met with some bad fortune...

I'm sure I remember seeing that somewhere - can you elaborate ?

FB  :) ???

Isn't it ironic that with the launch of Apple that sort of thing was supposed to cease !

(I realise that Apple were/may not have been responsible....)

I share your annoyance....

Well FB, I am also annoyed that just the 2 of us seem to be into this subject...I wonder why Zella won't reply to this.  Oh wait a minute, Badfinger had ties to the Beatles didn't they!  As we know, one of her Favorite groups....NOT :D

I suspect Zella is a closet Beatles fan R&RF, but can't bring herself to admit it !

Out of the closet Zella !  Reveal thineself (so to speak) !  ;)

FB  :)

There are a number of things that may result from this, R&RF :

Zella may :

say we are Bad Boys ;
say Don't Bother Me with this ;
say I'll Get You and/or You Can't Do That;
come after us with Maxwell's Silver Hammer ;
and tell us we better Run For Your Life because of What You're Doing

The Two Of Us may :

say I Should Have Known Better ;
be in Misery ;
regret the Things We Said Today ;
and wish it were Yesterday

Either way :

I've Got A Feeling that It Won't Be Long before we may hear more, and then we will feel that we should have Let It Be....because She's A Woman !  ::)

FB  :D


PS  If there's No Reply I'll be very disappointed.... :(

Well since she's a Girl she'll be pissed and send us packing to Stawberry Fields by way of a Yellow Submarine I know how you feel about this 'cause I'm looking Through You and can see that you've had a Hard Days Night and could use some Help! but as for Badfinger, I feel that Zella is just a Baby Blue so Day After Day she will Come And Get It and never be Without You....No Matter What! :D

Well this is deliciously gratifying! Carry on, boys.....  :-* :-* (one for each)

Incidentally, I do like all four Badfinger songs, in spite of their unfortunate connection with the Foppish Four.... ;D

As for being a closet Beatles Fan, well okay -- I'll let you in on a little secret (shhhhh, don't tell now!  :-X ) I was madly in love with Paul McCartney for an entire month when I was 15....  :o (Must have been the eyebrows... ::) )

:-* :-* :-* (three more -- you can fight over who gets the extra one -- just dull the points on those jarts -- we don't want it to get messy.... ;D )

Well, one of them will be singing I'm A Loser, won't they? :D
In the meantime Zella what else are you hiding in the closet from? Could it be you little stalker friend? Knock knock? Who's there? ;D

And you really need to sharpen thos jarts, honey!  Let It Be, let them take The Long And Winding Road to whatever path leads to you, let them joust!  When it is all over, let the best man win! Then, sing your anthem long and loud....Please Please Me, Anytime At All, When I Get Home! Slow Down, Tell Me Why, I'm Happy Just To Dance With You.

Well alright !  ;D

'A's only !

If I travel Across The Universe I should just have to Act Naturally and say All You Need Is Love....

If you were to Ask Me Why I would say "Ain't She Sweet ?", then All I've Gotta Do is give you All My Loving at Any Time At All.

Then we would be All Together Now , and that would be A Beginning......

While Back In The USSR on my Birthday I saw Babys In Black..... what could I do? Because I was talking to  Bungalow Bill watching a  Blackbird when suddenly on the radio came the Ballad Of John & Yoko. I hate that particular song for it's vision alone so I had a few drinks at a pub with the Boys and the waitress said to me Baby, You're A Rich Man Seeing how absolutely sexy and beautiful she was,  I replied Baby It's You Then we went back to her flat on Blue Jay Way where I was a Bad Boy :P ;)

To continue the Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, I suggested that she should Come And Get It in the hope that we could Come Together, but she took one look at me and said I doubt that I could Carry That Weight.   >:(

That made me Cry Baby Cry, then I got desperate and offered her something for her trouble, to which she said you Can't Buy Me Love.  She did however offer to put me in Chains.....

I thought, Ooh, she's got the Devil In Her Heart so I said I can Dig It, it Don't Bother Me !  Do You Want To Know A Secret ?  She showed to me her Dear Prudence  :o and then said to me Don't Let Me Down, that rocked me so much I felt like a Day Tripper and thought I might need the services of Doctor Robert...

Well, I can't leave you to joust alone, but if you think I am going to quote Beatles, then you are just craaaaazy.... :D

Well, you know she said, this may be My Obsession and I know You Can't Always Get What You Want but if it makes you Happy you can Cry To Me. Come On now, 'cus Time Waits For No One. Use your Imagination and don't Hide Your Love. This may just be a Summer Romance and you will have to Let Me Go but first I will take you to Heaven and you will find yourself Torn and Frayed. So Let's Spend The Night Together and see If You Can't Rock Me -- Till the Next Goodbye. Then if It's All Over Now there will be a Pain in My Heart but if it is the Hand of Fate to Love in Vain then there Ain't No Use in Cryin. There is always the Memory Motel and I Am Waiting so Ride On Baby!
