If you haven't seen the Monty Python Beatles parody "The Ruttles", do yourself a favor & look them up on u-tube, or somewhere. Some of the Beatles are actually in it, along with the original Saturday Night Live cast. It is hilarious, and the music parodies are actually quite good. Very Beatlesque.
Now on to Pepper part four...
LOVELY RITA-Written, and sung by Paul. Work began on February 23, 1967 in Abbey Road studio 2. Another wonderfull example of Paul's story songs. Full of his innocent whimsy, and rich with detail. You can almost see the story unfold befor your eyes. This is another example of Paul's incredible ability as a bassist. The bass guitar on "Rita" is so good!
Lennon's backing vocals are great on this song too. I love the vocal/instrumental break in the middle, and oh man, that piano!
GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING-Written, and sung by John. Recording began in studio 2 on Feb. 8,1967. John's lyrics, and phrasing are sharp, and the tempo changes are great. This song has all kinds of things going on, begining, and ending with a chicken. Ringo is great on drums, George does some killer guitar riffs, let's not forget the morphing animals at the end. (cats meows morph into dog barks..etc, oh and there's the fox hunt too, complete with horns, and dogs. Cue the chicken. 1..2..3..4..
