Beatles conundrum
Posted by madfox on 11 January 2012 - 7:51pm.
This is a load of old tosh. But a mate tortured me with it, so I may as well piss you lot off.
What is unique, among the Beatles' recorded repertoire, about "Good Morning Good Morning" and "I'm Down"?
I must warn you now, the answer is not life-enhancing.
Little clue: It's about the song titles rather than the music, so that will give you some idea of the intellectual level this is pitched at.
Sorry, but it will be like a weight off if others suffer as I did.

Are they ...
Are they the only 2 fabs songs without a letter E in the title ?
No letter 'e'
in the title?
Lady Madonna...
... doesn't have an abundance of e's.
Damn!
Not that then.
In fact...
... there's quite a lot with no e.
Another few examples ...
... I'll Follow The Sun, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Julia.
That much!?
It's...
... All Too Much (literally).
Clearly
I put absolutely no thought whatsoever into my answer.
Since when
did "the" have no e?
I'm a dick...
... it's official.
Inspired by...
Inspired by television commercials ?
Definitely true of Good
Definitely true of "Good Morning ...," but what TV commercial did "I'm Down" come from?
An old duvet
company I think.
Oi!
who you calling old?
Are the titles...
... said in the song the most? - or repeated the most?
Err
Err, Hey Jude ?
But...
... there's lots of nananananaing between the "Hey Jude"s.
Nah!
They were
barked by a passing dog, as the songs were being composed?
They were spelled out
by a ouija board, stored in Ringo's bass drum for emergencies.
My theory was...
..that they were the only titles containing just the vowels 'i' and 'o'. Then I thought of 'This boy' - damn!!
Were they really written...
...by the Earl of Oxford?
Were they...
accidentally written twice?
*double post gag*
My guess
Are they the only two Beatles song titles you might actually say in conversation?
I mean I don't go around telling people, "Hello Goodbye, I am a walrus."
Maybe not but I'd
Love You To
Wait.
No, just let it be. We can work it out.
something to do with the
something to do with the initials
GM = George martin?
not sure who ID is though
..very poor mr mingles, but worth a try
Hmmm
Perhaps it's just the way you've typed it but could it be that they are the only song titles in which every word has a capital letter?
You realise I won't sleep until I have the answer, don't you...
First or last words
Are they the only songs that both start and end with the title.
Except for Hey Jude
Bloody Hey Jude
The only two songs to both contain all the following letters
M, D, O and N?
EDIT: If that is the answer, that's tragic :(
Has it got
anything to do with donkey porn and Judith Chalmers' sister-in-law?
Are they both
In the same zone on the London Underground? Its been a while since I looked at a map mind
You began this post with the words
"This is a load of old tosh." Is all this, in fact, to use the lingo of the era, a massive 'put on', man? In the same way Derren Brown is always careful to preface his cheap camera tricks with a disclaimer?
Spookily
if you take the last letter from the first word in 'Good Morning' and swap it with the first letter of the second word in 'I'm down', it makes no difference at all.
Both titles are still the same!
And you can't do that with Hem Jude and Lady Yadonna.
Come On Man!
How can we sleep until you've told us.
I you say them backwards
do you get the message
"turn me on, dead man"?
Fascinating!
and I thought The Sisters Of Mercy forum (www.myheartland) was arse.
You guys take the biscuit, cake, meat dish, jukebox and tablecloths.
probably the cutlery too
Could it be
that's there's nothing unique whatsoever and this is just a wind-up?
And another thing...
How can two things be unique?
what is unique ?
I was waiting for someone to say that
OK, twonique, then.
*Heaves bosom* *Pouts*
I'm sorry, but if you begin a post with the words, "This is a load of old tosh", how do you expect to be taken seriously?
Now: tell us the answer before I shoot this defenceless Lima Monkey.
And the answer is...
taps watch and thinks about going to bed.........
blowin'
in the wind (type of wind not specified)?
Table-tapping
in Bognor?
A Guess...
Do they have exclamation marks on the proper sheet music or album listings? I have neither to hand to check.
Sorry for the delay
I went down the pub last night.
The guesses which focus on which letters are used in the two song titles are the closest. But it's more specific than just which vowels are used. Acutally, it's more of question of which letters are not used...
Of the 5 vowels,
both songs use only i & o in the title
Leaving a, e, & u unused.
Letters
The only two songs containing none of the letters of Pete Best's name? No research gone into that; just clutching at straws
You don't know how close you are
Well, you do now.
Is it
that none of the letters of the band name are in 'em.
ie; No letters from "The Beatles"?
Got it
I did say it wasn't life-enhancing. But, gee, I'm proud of you guys. You got there pretty quick and nobody really moaned.
We'd have
got there a lot sooner if Stephen Merrick had got off his lazy arse and done his job properly! HIS job. Not ours.
He was too busy
with Marco, Terry-Lee, Garry Tibbs and yours truly...
Sorry - I'll get me coat
Just noticed this thread
Is it that none of the letters from the name "The Beatles" are in either of those two song titles?
Easy, really.
Edit... Oh, someone else has got it already as well. Not to worry.
