The Beatles

               I definently think The Beatles are one of the greatest bands of all time. And their first album, Please Please Me, was just an example of why they are so great. The fact that it was recorded in one day is mind-blowing and unheard of. Paul McCartney is my personal favorite when doing the main vocals in a song. He kind of has this silly yet professional attitude when it comes to singing. My favorite of his songs on Please Please Me is "I Saw her Standing There". I just think he approaches the song in a very fun way and really gives it some neat twists on certain notes. I personally like the way he says:

                            Oh we danced through the night,
                            And we held each other tight.
                            And before too long
                            I fell in love with her.

I just love how he puts that little twist on the ending words in each of the phrases. I do have to say, I feel like their lyrics are really repetitive and say the same thing, rather than telling a story like today's songs. I know that was the style for the time, but it definently can get a little old.

I particularly love this video because Paul McCartney is shaking his head with every other word he says. And plus the way people used to dress is absolutely hystarical. I also appreciate the amount of energy they put into this song. It makes it even more enjoyable.
