The Write Stuff – The Write Stuff

Here are three versions of The Beatles We Can Work It Out. This song was a single released in 1965, on the other side of Day Tripper.

I made it in three different keys; see if you can tell which one is the original key.

And finally, here it is in reverse:

This time it is from Van Halen. This song is titled Eruption and it is from their very first album released in 1978. If you listened to an FM radio during this time, you heard this song.

It was originally just a warmup exercise for Eddie Van Halen. The full story can be read here.

And here is a remake of a song I posted last week.

Here is another classic song from the Beatles Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, titled Lucy in the Sky with DIamonds.

And this is a song that I posted last week, with some changes.

Why did the teacher always have crossed eyes?
It was because she couldn’t control her pupils.

Here is my version of Michelle from the Beatles Rubber Soul album. As most long-time readers know, these songs can all be found here.

One of the players in the World Cup was asked how he kept so cool in the heat during the games. He said it was because of all the fans.

Here is a new Beatles song for the weekend. This song always seemed like a Friday Night song to me. It is the title song from the Beatles album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which is both the longest song and album title in their entire catalog. You heard it here first.

This is my version of Ticket to Ride, from the Beatles Help album. It is yet another example of the brilliant songwriting by the Beatles.

Music lesson of the day: The repeating riff is so powerful because it is basically the notes of the I chord followed by two notes of the V chord. It is a chord progression in itself.

These two Beatles remakes were already posted here this week, but they are much improved now and worth sharing again.

Is there are a better Beatles album then Revolver? I think not.

Here is yesterday’s song with some new instruments. I think it sounds much better.

And this is a remake of the classic Beatles song She Said She Said, from the Revolver album.

Here is a remake of a Beatles song titled Paperback Writer. It was released as a single in May 1966. This entire song has 2 chords – G7 and C. Sometimes less is more.
