The part that always gets me is that most of this song - like a solid 4 minutes - is nothing but "na, na na, na na na na, Hey Jude" AND IT NEVER GETS OLD. No matter how many times I hear it. It somehow gets BETTER the more it repeats. That's the magic of the Beatles, at least to me.
Paul got his scream from Little Richard. He could do pretty much anybody who came before him, and he assimilated their qualities and brought them forward. John, on the other hand, was a complete original. Together, they were yin and yang and complemented each other perfectly.
Yes, he did get his scream from Little Richard, who got to know them in Hamburg when they opened shows for him and he even went to see them play at the Cavern Club in Liverpool.
Actually, thankfully Paul McCartney has always screamed in many different ways in his career not just one got from somebody else... Even Bob Dylan said that PM could scream better than all the others...
This one was HUGE we it was released and my sister and I wore out her 45 lol, 10 years later it would come on the radio and my friends and I would sing along with it And yes I would would play it for my kids and they sing along now And now I’m playing it for my grandkids
People forget that Paul can SANG, not sing, but he SANG that song. So much heart and soul. Thanks for playing the album version; it has some nuance that the live version missed. As always, you do the best commentary on TH-cam. Always brilliant and heartfelt. You are greatly appreciated my friend.
I’ll give you a heads up regarding the Beatles. Like other reactors, you’ll probably find yourself saying something like, “This surprised me. I wasn’t expecting something like this from them.” You’ll say it multiple times, probably. They loved trying different styles in a time of radical change in music and pretty much everything else. Glad you enjoyed this one. There’s plenty more where that came from.
Yes please, more Beatles. Definitely need to hear Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Rain, Paperback Writer, Got to Get You Into My Life, I Am The Walrus, Day in the Life, there are just so many. That can at least get you started!
This song was usually #1 or #2 in every rock station countdown of best songs of all time at least through the 90's. Don't think many stations do that anymore. Stairway to Heaven always won. American Pie by Don McLean was usually 3rd. Not even close to my favorite Beatles song though.
This is the studio version, very polished. There is a live version on some British TV station that sounds a lot like the studio record, but when they went into the"na, na na ,na," the audience came up on stage and sang with them. The intro shows how silly they could be, even if you don't react(you did this one), you might want to watch it
Yea man, The Beatles are number one for me. They were very passionate about their music. Like Dany once said (TEDx program) music is passion, music is hope, music is life! More Beatles bro, cheers.
Paul wrote this song to Julian Lennon, son of Beatle John Lennon. John had recently divorced Julian's mother, Cynthia, and the song came to Paul as he was thinking of how to comfort the confused and sad boy. Julian is more than a Beatles footnote. He grew up to be a pretty great songwriter, in his own right. He released a couple of excellent albums in the early '80s.
Great review! Epic song! Perhaps the fact Now and Then shot up the charts with a lot of reviewers giving it attention may give the copyright holders pause. They may realize the Beatles can use some of the publicity for sales.
This is why some of us bought the 45’s, the albums, the 8 tracks, the cassettes, cd’s, and digital downloads of one of the greatest groups of all time.
The song that literally could go on forever. It just doesn't wear you down, in fact it kind of sustains you. Speaking of passion this song was written for John's young son Julian who he left with his ex-wife after he started living with Yoko Ono I believe Paul really felt bad for Julian and the song was originally named hey Julian. A bit of brainstorming resulted in the name change Hey Jude
To truly appreciate the genius and impact of the Beatles, you need to start at the beginning and go through all of their studio albums in sequence. Their recording career was only 8 years long, but they went from a simple rock'n'roll band, doing a lot of covers, to some of the most complex and brilliant prog rock ever written or performed. The speed at which they evolved, and dragged the whole music and popular culture along, is astonishing.
This is in reference to the relationship between John Lennon's son, Julian and Yoko Ono. Paul McCartney wrote the song to ease the pain of his parents divorce and the presence of Yoko. All the other Beatles were considered honorary Uncles!
This is why this song is so powerful, Paul was singing heart to heart with Young Julian, an honest attempt to make a sad little boy feel loved. God Bless You Paul, from the little boy in all of us....
Definitely more Beatles please. The Beatles have influenced so many bands and genres for decades. Progressive rock in particular, bands like Yes King Crimson and Genesis have all paid tribute to the Beatles in their music. The innovation that the Beatles brought in their later recordings opened the imaginations of a generation of great musicians. It doesn't end there of course, their song writing talents resound through the decades....and they achieved all this when they were still very young.
That long extended coda inspired many other hit records over the next couple of years or so -- like Donovan's "Atlantis," "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," Elvis's "Suspicious Minds," "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel, and others.😊
I still can't believe I sang the " na na nas" recently at my first Paul McCartney concert, right here in my home town. One of the highlights of my life
I have this single somehow, even though I was 3 years old when it was released. “Revolution” is the other side. My uncle bought me Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band the year before when it was released, so maybe he gave me this too. I was a little kid playing my little kid records and The Beatles when I was 3 years old. I know every word, but I had no idea what some of the words meant when I learned them.
Written for John's son, Julian, who was going through a rough period. I always thought those na na na's went on just a little too long myself. But I agree with the previous comment. There is no other band that had quite the impact the beatles did. And most all of their solo stuff is amazing.
When the Beatles landed in America, they rocked our world. The older generations didn’t like it, they worried the Beatles were going to corrupt us, I guess. Teachers made the boys comb their hair back instead of like Beatle hair LoL! It was a great time for us teenagers!👍😂🩵
Written for Johns son Julian by Paul because of the difficulties of Johns breaking up with Cynthia, so it started with Hey Julian but didn't sound right so changed it to Hey Jude....
the record company told the group radio stations would not play a record this long 7 plus minutes....john said the will if it's us.....again braking the recording rules
Sorry to use this reaction to talk about this subject, but I thought it was timely because I'm a big fan of The Beatles and The Warning. What happened that you interrupted the reactions of the show at Lunario and you haven't done a reaction for a long time? I know it's your channel and you can do whatever you want, but I found this very strange. I really like your reactions and you seemed so excited about the band. Did something upset you? I hope not...again sorry, but I just wanted to understand! Greetings!

Congratulations on getting this one unblocked! This bodes well for future Beatles reactions.
There’s nothing better in the universe than a song by The Beatles. It’s always phenomenal.
So so so good. It’s a perfect song. Great one to start.
Glad you got the block off.

heartfelt. You are greatly appreciated my friend.
As others have said, Paul loved Little Richard's screaming. The best outro/fade-out in music history. Never get tired of hearing it.
PLEASE go chronologically with their catalog. Part of their magic is the growth they had in such a short time.

With the exception of the three "posthumous" songs, everything the Beatles did they accomplished before any of them even turned 30!
You need to hear what was the B side of the Hey Jude single, the song Revolution.
Little Richard. Paul's most celebrated vocal influence is and was Little Richard. Please check it out!
Wooooooooo!!!
Welcome to the Beatles brother. Enjoy the journey that millions of us are still traveling!
On a long and winding road!
Helter Skelter and Oh Darling are two different and bangers you must hear and react to
I first heard this, in the fall of 68. One of the lucky survivors, i guess!
The Beatles Enough Said 🪴.
When Paul screams like that, he's said he's trying to do his best impression of Little Richard, and he does a darned great job. As does Steven Tyler.
Yes please, more Beatles. Definitely need to hear Tomorrow Never Knows, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, Rain, Paperback Writer, Got to Get You Into My Life, I Am The Walrus, Day in the Life, there are just so many. That can at least get you started!
Interesting piece of trivia, the Beatles have other songs than just Hey Jude... Really, check it out, I'm sure you'll find some.
This song was usually #1 or #2 in every rock station countdown of best songs of all time at least through the 90's. Don't think many stations do that anymore. Stairway to Heaven always won. American Pie by Don McLean was usually 3rd. Not even close to my favorite Beatles song though.

I believe that's David Frost show
Yea man, The Beatles are number one for me. They were very passionate about their music. Like Dany once said (TEDx program) music is passion, music is hope, music is life! More Beatles bro, cheers.
Enjoy the great music from the Beatles! 😘👍🎶
The Long and Winding Road by McCartney is one of my favorites.
Yes! 👍🏻
You should listen to Oh! Darling from the Abbey Road album. It's great!

John had recently divorced Julian's mother, Cynthia, and the song came to Paul as he was thinking of how to comfort the confused and sad boy. Julian is more than a Beatles footnote.

That's great, but you have to hear their whole body of work. They are geniuses.
Great reaction as always ! Keep on being you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I still can't believe I sang the " na na nas" recently at my first Paul McCartney concert, right here in my home town. One of the highlights of my life
I probably woulda cried lol
Another great song. Try Paul's creation 'Live and let die' he wrote and sang for the Bond film of the same name. Genius.
The video of this song is amazing. They got the audience involved!
Two minutes of nananana and you would like to go on.......they are THE BEATLES!!!!
Groundbreaking for many reasons. 7 minutes was 4 minutes longer than many radio stations even allowed.
there's the Beatles..... and then there's everyone else.
I have this single somehow, even though I was 3 years old when it was released. “Revolution” is the other side. My uncle bought me Sgt.

Well now I'm going to have to go back and watch your more recent Now And Then reaction again, lol.
Paul referred to Screamin' Jay as inspiration, he considered Scremin Jay's rendition of Monkberry Moon Delight as recognition into the genre.
Written for John's son, Julian, who was going through a rough period. I always thought those na na na's went on just a little too long myself. But I agree with the previous comment. There is no other band that had quite the impact the beatles did. And most all of their solo stuff is amazing.
Your reactions are really great. I like when people don't interrupt songs a lot.
Paul wrote this song for Julian Lennon. He called him Jude.
Well, if you're gonna get one unlocked, this didn't suck!!!!!°
Paul was inspired by Little Richard.
LOL the moment when you talk over the song transition. 🙂
Always the last song at the middle school dance when I was a kid.7 minutes long.
Do "A day in the life"
When the Beatles landed in America, they rocked our world. The older generations didn’t like it, they worried the Beatles were going to corrupt us, I guess. Teachers made the boys comb their hair back instead of like Beatle hair LoL! It was a great time for us teenagers!👍😂🩵
Written for Johns son Julian by Paul because of the difficulties of Johns breaking up with Cynthia, so it started with Hey Julian but didn't sound right so changed it to Hey Jude....
Do Many many beatles song
Shawn, good stuff. Suggest:....."Don't let me down" "Oh darling" "Hey bulldog" "Happiness is a warm gun" by Beatles
Jude -> Julian Lennon, John's son.
Who went on to record the album Valotte.:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valotte
Please react to Oh Darling and Helter Skelter both sung by Paul. Also, A day in the life, is a definite sensory experience.
Tomorrow never knows
put the youngbloods on the list get together,sunlight .darkness darkness.
While MY Guitar Gently Weeps by George you'll love , not the love version, which is good, but original better
Hey man - you reacted to this already!
This reaction was recorded before the live version, but youtube just now let me post it
@@ShawnSalvadori Ah, ok. Keep up the good work! 👍
the record company told the group radio stations would not play a record this long 7 plus minutes....john said the will if it's us.....again braking the recording rules
And he was right.
Helter Skelter next

But you already reacted to this song last week?
This reactions was recorded BEFORE the live version, but TH-cam didn't allow me to post it for 2 months
Paul wrote this song for Julian Lennon when his dad, John, left his mother for Yoko.
