Ob La Di Ob La Da

Product Information

Danny from Bronx, NyPeople say this song is silly and has no real meaning, but it does. The idea "life goes on" is illustrated perfectly by the lyrics - man and woman meet, marry, have children, that's how life goes on. They both work, but they have fun doing it. Singing in a band obviously is both fun and lucrative. Even working in Desmond's stall is enjoyable enough for the kids - he "lets" them lend a hand because they want to. They are happy "in the marketplace" - a term that can mean not only the physical place where Desmond has his stall, but also their whole world where people freely buy from, sell to, and provide services for each other. It’s odd how these stories get told and retold until they become fact. While they seemed to spend a great deal of time on this song (42 hours!), much of it was Paul alone or with the other musicians. The others’ contributions, at least for the first set of takes, was limited to what appears to be just singing and maybe hand claps. It wasn’t until they decided to redo it that they all played instruments. And then it was just 12 takes. That’s not a lot for them. How many takes of other songs did they do, for all three of them. 12 doesn’t seem a lot. Now, John may have been frustrated because he didn’t like the song in the first place, and he may have been the driving force to changing the tempo, but this whole story about how they spent way too much time on this song is ridiculous.

Horace from Las Vegas, NvThis song makes me dance, albeit poorly. It's clearly about drug use and cross dressing. reference points self explanatory. one example overlooked, desmond and molly jones, for obladi oblada. a normal mundane life, trying not to jones for the drug they used before the kids came along. I also wonder which beatle was a closet cross dresser, probably ringo. Enjoy. Their manager, Peter Walsh, was a 1960s and 1970s pop entrepreneur whose portfolio also included the Tremeloes, Bay City Rollers, the Move, Billy Ocean, the Troggs and Blue Mink. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s Eder, Bruce.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A SEX CHANGE.Later in 1975, after Ford and the remaining members called it quits, Knight and Whitehead took over the name Marmalade with the new line-up, fronted by Newman. [2] [12] They signed a deal with Tony Macaulay's Target Records and in 1976, had what turned out to be their final Top 10 hit with the ominously entitled, Macaulay penned song, "Falling Apart at the Seams". The song also reached the easy listening charts in the U.S. and made the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's last charting single on the U.S charts. [13] Subsequent singles failed to chart. [2] One of these was " Talking In Your Sleep", produced by Roger Greenaway and released in January 1978, six months ahead of the Crystal Gayle version of the same song, which became well known worldwide.

Mike from Chicago, IlI can't believe that so many people hate this song! It did take a few goes for it to grow on me, but every time I hear it it's got a different feel. Kind of reminds me of my first girlfriend who was indeed named Molly, but only because of the upbeat tempo and whatnot that reminds me of her sense of humor...but anyway...

Amber from Indianapolis, Inoh my god i never realized that Olba-Di and WDYGAJ had the same tune!! wow that just was awesome news to me xD Matt from Norfolk IslandSimplified, DE and DA translates to THIS and THAT. So "Oh Blah De (this), Oh Blah Da (that) despite all idol chatter (Blah, Blah Blah) life does goes on! It is a beautiful master piece.

Cameron from Bainsville, CanadaThis song is fantastic! The reason I love this and 'The Continuing Story Of Bungallow Bill' is the choruses are noth so catchy: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on!. It definetly gives you the reality of things. Something bad happens, oh well, life goes on. Though the rest of the lyrics aren't very much intended to be like this. The rest is happiness and everything. Anyways, really great and catchy song. Nyman, Jake (2005). Suomi soi 4: Suuri suomalainen listakirja (in Finnish) (1sted.). Helsinki: Tammi. ISBN 951-31-2503-3. Bill from Southeastern Part Of, FlJim, I agree that the last line of the song is a drug reference - ...if you want some fun, take ob-la-di-bla-da, which is a segmented way of saying - oh bloody blotter, blotter being a form of LSD/acid. Another hidden drug reference is from Happiness Is A Warm Gun, when John sings - ...like a lizard on a windowpane. Windowpane is also a type of LSD/acid.

Cindy from Berkeley, CaI'm sorry, I like John and believe he was very talented but boy could he be pretentious and boring..... Dwight from Calgary, CanadaThey screem out foot and leg right after "Desmond lets the children lend a hand". It was probably because George and John were so irritated with Paul and how many takes the recording of this song was taking they just wanted to have fun and mess something up. Another poor Paul song with a saving grace of the baseline. Tiffany from San Diego, CaI heard this song toke 10 days to record. The atmosphere was very controlled and stringent. Also, the song isn't too good. Liliana from Huntley, Ilpaul knew what he was doing, besides a light fun song here and there are sometimes needed to balance all the heavy serious ones. i like this song.

Bill from Southeastern Part Of, FlJohn, actually one Beatle sings SAY and another sings TAKE at the same time. The original members began to drift away in the early 1970s, resulting in the band departing Decca in 1972. Michelle from New York City, NyI know a lot of people think this was one of Macca's worst but I absolutely LOVE this song it is such a bright, happy song.
