The Doglady has a musical challenge and I thought I would play along as it sounded like a lot of fun. And it was.
I chose The Beatles as I thought I would definitely find a song for each question but it wasn't easy.
The Challenge:
"Using only song names from ONE ARTIST OR BAND, answer the following questions. Try not to use the band I used, or repeat a song title. (It’s a lot harder than you think!) Publish as “My Life According to (BAND NAME)” and link back to this post".
The Beatles were a great band and each of them were extremely talented but I think George Harrison wrote some of the best songs - My Sweet Lord, Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps were some of those.
I tried to find a good Beatles version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps but couldn't find one so here is the version from Concert for George - a tribute to George Harrison on his first death anniversary. The first time I saw this I this video I almost thought he was on stage. His son looks just like him. Before the finale, McCartney relayed to the audience, "Olivia said that with Dhani up on stage, it looks like George stayed young and we all got old".

This list is absolutely so good. I thought of myself joining the challenge.. but I know more of Hindi songs only.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ls. You could do hindi songs and translate for English speaking viewers.
DeleteThis would have been natural for one of my music Mondays, except I might have used the Beatles myself. I "came of age" right when they were popular so I know the vast majority of their songs and they have such an extensive library. My favorite song of theirs is "Blackbird".

ReplyDeleteThanks Alana. The Beatles were an awesome band. One of my favourites is It's Only Love.
DeleteGah, I don't think I know any band/music artist well enough to complete this list. Nice work on the Beatles list.
ReplyDeleteThanks MantisLover. Glad you liked my list.
DeleteWow! This is such a fantastic meme/post! Am tempted to take this challenge!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Shilpa. Do join it's a lot of fun.
DeleteGreat choice of bands and songs, Suzy! Thanks for playing along. ☺
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. This was so much fun. Thanks for hosting.
DeleteThis is SO cool! Your answers fit perfectly!! But I imagine it was really really challenging to do! How long did it take you to answer all the questions??
ReplyDelete((Here from Micro Blog Monday's))
Thanks Charlotte It was challenging deciding which song to pick but fun. Probably took me an hour tops an only because I kept chopping and changing. Thanks so much for dropping by.
DeleteVery cute :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about While My Guitar Gently Weeps. I love this unused line from the Wikipedia page: "As I'm sitting here, doing nothing but ageing."
Thanks Mel. Was interesting to read. I might try that technique for my posts.
DeleteGreat choices! Paperback Writer - I love that!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diedre. It's a good song
DeleteFabulous answers to the questions, Suzy! Or should I call you as "Dizzy Miss Lizzy"? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cool meme and your answers are fun. I would love to do that for Hindi songs :) :P
ReplyDeleteThanks Parul Hindi songs would be so much fun too.
DeleteThis is such a wonderful idea. I love your answers Suzy. I'm not sure I'd have been able to pick such smart ones - how perfectly you've made it fit.. And I love the Beatles too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tulika The Beatles were an awesome band.
DeleteI so loved reading this post, Suzy! Tough one to build up, but you have done it so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shilpa It was not as easy as it looks for sure
DeleteThat's simply awesome....!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sunaina.
DeleteSUZY ~
ReplyDeleteWow! Great answers! Of course The Beatles recorded so much that there's a good pool to draw from, but your selections worked perfectly. You even came up with a few Beatles songs that I don't even know!
I just got done doing this Music Challenge also. I thought it was a lot of fun. Doglady Debbie turned us onto an enjoyable little game here.
My first thought was to use Tom Waits. Immediately afterwards I thought of Bob Dylan, as he'd have a lot of interesting song titles to work with also. And then I briefly entertained the idea of going with the Beach Boys - I love them so.
But in the end I went with my first impression, Tom Waits, and it worked out pretty well, I think.
There really should be a color called "Submarine Yellow".

Thanks Stephen It was great fun. Submarine Yellow now that would be wild.
DeleteThanks for the Great Information in the post
