The thing is, even though he would criticize Paul's work, Lennon was probably the biggest McCartney fan there was. Likewise, Paul is the biggest John Lennon fan.
John has often praised Hey Jude and he stated that Something was the best song on Abbey Road, so yes he was very capable of giving his bandmates praise.
I think Paul was the one who started putting digs in some of his songs to hit John. John then did the same thing against Paul, altho they were more ham handed, not subtle like Paul's digs were.
Perhaps so. And he hadn't sorted it out in his head that that was the case. I don't it's cliche, but I do blame Yoko. She was a controller and the fact that they both did heavy drugs together created a chemically-charged enmeshment. Controlling people's first order of business is to cut their target off from their support network and always keep them in a state of lowered awareness. They probably don't even know they are doing this because they learned this at a young age through treatment and not through the application of concepts explained clearly.
John would not have wasted his time, stoned or not, if he didn't really like and admire the song. John was just as big a music fan as any of us, probably the biggest McCartney fan, and he could hear the brilliance in Paul's tune. He most likely wished he had been on the recording! peace and love...
And could you imagine had he been? Admiral is one of my lifelong favorite songs! And if it had been done while the Beatles were still together, I simply couldn't imagine the level of amazing the song could have been!
This was on John's 31st birthday. It's so funny how they carried on with Admiral Halsey after they sing Happy Birthday. I know they were fooling around but this version is pretty catchy..... maybe even album worthy. That's how talented Lennon was. Perhaps John was a tiny bit jealous of how big Ram was & the jabs Paul took at John.
ConvictedAshes I dig it too. Agree it could be Paul’s best, Ram or Band on the Run for me are Paul’s best. Ram was ahead of its time as was Lennon’s “Plastic Ono Band”
This was really John Lennon and guests and it was recorded on Oct 9the 1971 at a small Birthday Party for John following an art exhibition of Yoko's. The guests included Ringo Starr, Maureen Starkey, Phil Spector, Klaus Voormann, Mal Evans, Neil Aspinall, Eric Clapton, Allen Ginsberg and Jim Keltner. So I don't know why some people think this was fake.
People watching this in the 2020s are probably assuming it's an AI deepfake of John singing a McCartney song, not checking that the upload date is 2010, a decade before deepfakes were a thing.
I swear to god when this came out I thought it was a Beatles song, it should have been. Can you Imagine how good a next Beatles album would have been in 1971. I can easily cull songs from all four of their albums in 1971 into a GREAT Beatles album, I have done that, and it's great listening in my car at top volume.
@@Noah1997callahan I never agreed with that ruling that George copped Phil Spectre's Ronnette's song, He's so Fine. They're two totally different songs that happen to use the same chord progressions. Today, that is not only common, it is commonly expected as well. It would have been different if George had matched the tone, tempo, rhythym, etc., but the arrangement, the lyrics, and complete feeling of the song are radically different. You have to really zone in on the chord progression to realize they're almost the same. But do you know just how many songs today and since have that same happenstance? And you are so right, that song would have been another showstopper had the Beatles done it together. It still hurts to think about their breaking up when and how they did. But hey, they went out on a super high, and that is one reason we see them as being so very important today. I don't even want to talk about John's death. Forty-two years yesterday in fact (today is December 9th 2022 as I comment), still rips my heart to pieces.
Someone said "Ok we got him in there." That was their way of including Paul at John's birthday even though they weren't on good terms at the time, which I think is pretty cool.
Wrong, mate. That was Phil Spector Welcoming me back from the bathroom to sing Happy birthday to me. YER ALL WRONG!!! CHEERS. ~ JOHN ~ 12-2-2024 12:55 p.m.
I don't think he is making fun of the song. He is having fun with it. A lot of musicians experiment doing this because they really like songs. I was in several groups and during rehearsals we would often "play" with songs.
I think it's complex. I think on the surface, one would think he is making fun of it because he employs a comically flattering voice while singing it--as though it is material not worthy of sincere consideration, let alone emulation. But then there is the fact that he is singing it, he's not just singing it long enough to establish that he is mocking it and he bothered to listen to it and learn it. And maybe he was even aware of something he was apparently mocking, was, in fact, a subconscious tribute and a longing for reconnection.
He spent his 31st birthday w his art exhibit in my home town of Syracuse at the Everson museum. This was probably recorded at Hotel Syracuse on the top floor that they reserved. Ringos probably on this.
That is actually pretty common for many muscians after a while. They get to being able to hear the chords and recognize them by ear, and if not exactly -- most of the time.. :)
It's like when the Beatles were 'singing' House of the Rising Sun-- they were just having fun and weren't intending to be respectful to the great tune.
I really think he was just having fun. I've heard other stuff from this same tape and he does all the songs in a jokey manner (if you listen at the very end of this he's doing a piss take on my sweet lord too) People read too much into these things
I don't know if the Happy Birthday song here is a reference to Paul owning that song for awhile. That song was still not in the public domain and Paul actually bought the copyright to it.
Seems John was still infatuated wit the rest of The Beatles music and The Beatles with John's music. John knew that "How do you sleep at night was bullshit" and that hisjab at "Yesterday" was his way of admiration". Even as a Beatle John used to goof on "Yesterday" implying it had been written by Ringo. John admitted that "Silly love songs" was a great tune he could not stop humming (bless John cause that was crap) and Paul claims "Beautiful Boy" is one of of his favorite top 5 songs . Funny enough None of Paul's songs are Paul's favorite songs while two Lennon songs are his favorites.
I wander why people conclude they are screwing Paul's song. Maybe they were but there is no signal of that. We only listen people having fun in a party. Have they never been a party full of drunken people? That is how drunken and doped people sing all sings. One of his guests was Allen Ginsberg who was closer to Paul than to John. Paul even recorded a video with Ginsbert, the Ballad of the Skeletons. He helped boy with his poetry and even staying in Cavendish once. He would never screw anything by Paul. It is quite possible they liked the song. The also sung My Sweet Lord, which is by George. Laster John also sung Yesterday and not laughing so much. Quite seriously. We listen to John's voice clear. He changed the pronoun. Why he had to go I don't know he would say. He. No doubt he was thinking of Paul. And wondering why he left. You see, in John's mind Paul was the one who left first, and the one who offended him first recording " Too many people". Also Paul got married first. John almost fainted and decided to get married too, just a few days later. I don't know what was in their minds while singing, but there is no evidence of anything bad. I do enjoy. I feel like singing with them. Very good song, by the way. I don't like Linda's voice on it, though. He could not sing.
Ascolto i Beatles da quando avevo 5 anni, Paul è stato il motore il musicista , l' unico che gli ha dato una mano nell' ultimo periodo è stato George con i suoi classici: Paul è il più grande musicista vivente.
People can say what they want. John and Paul were brothers and sometimes they fall out. Doesn't mean the love isn't there. John was just enjoying his b-day and I bet missing his mates.
ok guys anyone figure out the double fantasy album was woman just about yoko? i think not i think it was also about paul ,he seen him like his companion same as just like starting over thing bout the early days and also think bout maybe im amazed paul singing it to john making out it was to his fans , i think they were using tunes to communicate to each other using her or she as a cover up to their close connection
I think it's a joke beetwen John and Paul. John was sarcastic, too much sarcastic. But the song is huge by Paul. And yes John was certainly jealous of Paul's facilities!!! I love both!!!
He has also once said he really liked the opening section and the 'Hands Across the Water' part. So i think he is genuinely singing those portions out of appreciation for the song.
@rwk1983 How is he a jerk? Because he's singing Paul's song? People really ascertain they know these men and get all uptight if they ever saying anything bad about each other, when really the only people who know or should care are them.
Out where ? I'm yearning to know if that other long outtake is for real ( George is on that one too ) Stevie riksja who put it on TH-cam is a well known impersonator. That confuses the issue ... I'm not sure ... Can you help me out ?

John has often praised Hey Jude and he stated that Something was the best song on Abbey Road, so yes he was very capable of giving his bandmates praise.
It would difficult not to admire each other considering they each wrote some of the greatest songs in pop music history.
Vinny D John referred to Paul as "the mighty McCartney" during the 70s
He was trying ❤️
I think Paul was the one who started putting digs in some of his songs to hit John. John then did the same thing against Paul, altho they were more ham handed, not subtle like Paul's digs were.
It was his way of expressing that he missed his friend, Paul was always there on his previous birthdays.
Perhaps so. And he hadn't sorted it out in his head that that was the case. I don't it's cliche, but I do blame Yoko. She was a controller and the fact that they both did heavy drugs together created a chemically-charged enmeshment.

On the 'fake' one George is there too
Is that one truly fake ? It's so convincing ... although far better in tune than this one ....

"Imagine" is the top creation.

"In My Life" was written by John specifically for Paul. Their friendship was undeniable.
this is so beautiful 🙂↕️💔
heads across the water lots of luv
Funny how he knows all the chords and calls them out!
He has a Melody a Little bit different, un sure he knows the song ...
That is actually pretty common for many muscians after a while. They get to being able to hear the chords and recognize them by ear, and if not exactly -- most of the time.. :)
THAT IS PHIL SPECTOR CALLING OUT THE CHORDS
That's PHIL SPECTOR THAT KNOW THE SONG
That's PHIL SPECTOR THAT KNOW THE SONG
Crazy to think that he was an ex Beatle at 31 here and had already released solo albums. Same with Paul and George.
It's like when the Beatles were 'singing' House of the Rising Sun-- they were just having fun and weren't intending to be respectful to the great tune.
I think it's like play for musicians. Extremely vital and something that helps when the more serious renditions are required.
Cool I've never head John do a McCartney song! Guess he was in a great mood that night!
One of Lennon's very last public performances was "I Saw Her Standing There," performed with Elton John.
Having fun singing Georges too at the end!
I really think he was just having fun. I've heard other stuff from this same tape and he does all the songs in a jokey manner (if you listen at the very end of this he's doing a piss take on my sweet lord too) People read too much into these things
it's John all right
I'm sure I saw video footage of this, does anybody know where that video is?
Hola!!!

@XNowhereMan Yes, the picture is double entendre: "F**king beetles (Beatles}"
"My sweet Lord!It don't come easy;imagine..."
