Worst Beatles song on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

^ that’s what I tend to think too. The only question is would it have been better had George Martin done the strings instead of Mike Leander.

Lovely Rita is a decent enough song, but the production, arrangement and performance elevate it so far above it's compositional worth it's ridiculous. The layered harmonies.. Parts of this song are aural bliss. There's really no need for it to sound this good, and I honestly think it's one of their best recordings.

I should add it's basically a skiffled-up George Formby song

When I'm Sixty Four is some Mr. Bean bullshit

I’ll be honest, “Within You Without You” is the one I’m most tempted to skip.

i am biased towards that one because sonic youth did the cover. takes all sorts...

Which one is the most Qanon song?

A Day In The Life clearly, it's all about getting redpilled in order to see through the fake news

of course it is possible that Mr. Kite is describing the antics that occur in the dungeon below Comet Pizza

Title track is Qanon bc it’s like the entire Beatles have been replaced by a simulacrum band

Crowley at the top of the pyramid

That would be the one where the singer says that everyone is blind and only he can see reality, quotes the bible, fingerpointingly accuses his date of being "one of them", and sounds like a member of a dangerous cult ("With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew")

Seductive music, but damn the lyrics are sanctimonious garbage. For all it's Mr Bean dinkiness, When Im 64 is at least based in closely-observed real life.

Also the best song.

I just listened to "Within You Without You" and realized I'd completely forgotten it and what I thought was "Within You Without You" was probably "The Inner Light" and even though I played 5 minutes ago I've forgotten it again.

Within You Without You is one of those songs that I'm glad is on the album but don't actually want to hear much. File with Black Angel's Death Song, Aumgn etc.

As for the worst song, I don't think there are any bad songs but yes, When I'm 64 is the throwaway one here. Not a huge fan of Paul's old-time songs.

I don't know, WYWY kind of sums up what I think about this album, it's extremely well arranged and produced but, as a song, it's just not really up to snuff.

Harrisongs annoy me so I’ll say he was the Q Beatle

This thread took a fucking bizarre turn.

Revolution #9 has got to be the most Q Anon, right? Illusionary patterns and whatnot.

surely it's the song about how paul was dead

The walrus was Q
