think back to when the Monkees were riding high in the charts with such great songs as 'Daydream Believer' and 'Last Train to Clarksville' and how the world seemed less complicated and more focussed on serious issues as opposed to Tik Tok or Instagram and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools...ok, Christmas salutations from myself, Jill, Louie the wonder dog and cha-cha the kitty kat, everyone else has left us now, lol - empty nesters...haha!
can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played
and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days..
in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout
as they sang the blues, let it all hang out..
rock and roll...Your musical influences

A Bowiesque version of a Beatles classic, along with your own special creativity! There is certainly a new dimension to this cover that George Martin hadn't thought of. Great job.Cracking Greg. Always loved this Beatles song and you have done it proud. ExcellentReally nice retro pop song! It has that happy-go-lucky feeling that lifts your spirit and a beat that seems to be a pounding heartbeat, that goes on forever.
Really cool stuff!A perfect 70's pop song! Reminds me a lot of T Rex and the glam period when they were not afraid to come up with great hooks & catchy music. I had the honour of being in the same chart as Steve Harley from Cockney Rebel when the Vitaminic music site was still going - by the time I was making music he was doing solo albums. Those guys certainly made some memorable music & you have come up with a song that equals their skills.All comments (293)
