Favorite Beatles song
Posted: Oct 15th 2002, 2:56 pm
Wow, all the focus has been on the DVD forum for so long that I almost forgot about all the fun stuff we used to talk about!
In the vein of Kenny's joke thread, now I want everyone to tell us their favorite Beatles song.
Mine is "I Will" and I have a convoluted story about it too!
I saw the 1994 Warren Beatty/Annette Benning movie "Love Affair" (a remake of "An Affair to Remember" for anyone who didn't see Meg Ryan & Rosie O'Donnell sobbing about the original in "Sleepless in Seattle
). When the little kids were singing that cute song, my heart just went "oooooh!" I went to a music store the next day to look for the soundtrack. Luckily I went to a local store that let me listen to the whole thing before I bought it because that cute little song wasn't on the soundtrack! 
This was back in the day before I knew about imdb so I just gave up.
Fast forward five or six years. My boyfriend and I were taking a music class about the Beatles, so we decided to go through his collection and listen to all the stuff that would be on the test. He insisted that I knew more Beatles songs that I thought I knew, so we ended up listening to EVERY CD he had. Yep, it took quite a while because he has all of them. When I heard "I Will," I thought "oooooh!"
Fast forward another year or two. I was an unemployed college graduate wasting my days unearthing all sorts of stuff on the internet for amusement. We're talking Kids, Inc. webpages, all kinds of guilty pleasures. I was looking at some movies at amazon so I clicked on their recommendations and then kept going. About 20 minutes later, a link to "Love Affair" popped up and I remembered that I had seen the movie once. I started reading the customer reviews, and there were a bunch of people asking about the song that the kids sang. I thought YEAH, that's what I want to know! And then I found out that it was in fact "I Will" by the Beatles, the very song that had made me go "oooooh!"
And then I felt like an idiot for not putting 2 + 2 together sooner.
You don't have to share an embarrassing story - just tell us what your favorite Beatles song is.

You know I love this stuff...
...sweet huh?). Anyway, that song will be something I'll work towards learning. 
, but I do love Let It Be. That, and Shake it Baby.
