H E L P

So Im watching the Yankees/Orioles game here and a Google commercial comes on with the Beatles singing HELP in the background. So of course I break out in song and of course I remember every word. My 24 year old says how do you know that song like that? I said oh baby, you guys aren’t the only ones who know songs word for word...I even know some of your current tunes word for word...such as “Havana” (love it, dance to it in kitchen💃). He says Cool...yeah I wasn’t always your mom!

I don’t often listen to oldies often because I immediately am transported to that time, and I can get lost in the experience. But I know every word, too! Recently, for the first time in years, I happened across the Monkees’ Daydream Believer. I lost myself in singing, and I was transported back in time. I knew exactly where I was — driving home from high school on Ladue Road. It was a super happy time in my life, and I felt thd joy all over again.

I think I know every word to every Beatle song ever written. Not so much other bands songs....mostly the Beatle songs. I would spend hour upon hour listening to my 45 records and the albums on my record player.

I remember every word to practically every 80’s hair band song after not hearing them for 30 years, but forget where I put my phone.

I know the words to every song from way back (but cant remember where i put things. lol) And I love Havana too and listen to top 40 now days music too (mostly because of my grandkids). Yes I am a grandmother of 21, 19, and 15 yr old granddaughters! Music is a big part of my life too..

I can relate to the posts because I too remember words to songs decades ago. Music was and is such a big part of our lives and it all bring back memories and takes us back to different times and places.. Sometimes it is difficult for me to hear certain songs which remind me of people who have passed.

Every decade had meaningful music for me and I love to listen to oldies, not so old and all types of music. It is generational and funny how the kids think because we are a certain age we shouldn't know words to songs!!!!

I know the words and who did the songs, even the one time wonders in some cases. As they say music is universal and it doesn't matter your taste, it is all good and brings us so many feelings and memories.

@bmorechick I think that would be Help!

Great to "meet" another Beatles fan!

To the poster above who wrote she thinks she knows every word to every Beatles song - I may be able to say that now but not before my internet access, which allows me to look up the lyrics to Beatles songs. Their Liverpool accents made me not be able to make out every word of every song until I got to look up those I could never quite make out.

I still have issues with what the heck foreign langue-sounding words John is singing in Across the Universe!

I could listen to a song 1,000 times and I can't even remember one line. What is that???

My friend won tickets to a Monkees concert when they were at the top of their popularity....it was on a school night so I had to beg my mother to let me go....the warm-up act was the couple with weird clothes....we had never heard of them....Sonny & Cher!

I love that genre, too. I’m still in love with Jon Bon Jovi!

Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" puts me right back in high school, every time!

In my tween years, I was a huge Paul Revere & The Raiders fan (Mark Lindsay, sigh!), along with the Monkees. Never really got into the Beatles until I was in my 30's. Oh, and Neil Diamond! Some of his early stuff was truly amazing. While I loved his music, I didn't really appreciate it until I was in my 30's, either.
