Hopped Onto This Thing

Hopped onto this thing

I follow a lot of 60s blogs and every time I see a beatles gifset I'm like 🫵 TO DAFTY only to look and see you were actually the one to rb it

They really need to let Russel write his own album

We’ve already had Noodle write Demon Days

Then Murdoc write Plastic Beach

Then it was 2-D who wrote The Now Now

Give Russel some love y’know?

YOURE SCOTTISH?!?!?!

Yes I can beat the Scottish allegations no further 😔

Please contact me with all your Robert Burns poetry translation needs

obsessed with Michelle atm (the song)

Ooh yeah Michelle’s good, can definitely understand why you’d become obsessed with it

Actually a bit of trivia about the song (sorry if I get anything wrong)

Apparently Elvis thought the song was named after his sister-in-law, Michelle Beaulieu, because she had left Las Vegas the week before the Beatles came and she was upset about that, y’know? So Elvis and Priscilla asked the Beatles to sign a bunch of stuff for her, y’know? So they thought Paul had dedicated the song to Michelle too!

And Lennon and McCartney were friends with a guy, Ivan Vaughan and his wife, Jan helped them with the song at Jane Asher’s house

I said, ‘I like the name Michelle. Can you think of anything that rhymes with Michelle, in French?’ And she said, ‘Ma belle.’ I said, ‘What’s that mean?’ ‘My beauty.’ I said, ‘That’s good, a love song, great.’ We just started talking, and I said, ‘Well, those words go together well, what’s French for that? Go together well.’ ‘Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble.’ I said, ‘All right, that would fit.’ And she told me a bit how to pronounce it, so that was it. I got that off Jan, and years later I sent her a cheque around. I thought I better had because she’s virtually a co-writer on that. From there I just pieced together the verses

Quote from Paul from a book that Amazon has listed as just “Paul McCartney” but the book cover says “Paul McCartney many years from now” so… uh… I don’t know what it’s called

I mean I’m sure you weren’t looking for trivia about the song but there you go!

Ah damn it I accidentally forgot to include some closeups

Oh well here they are

Sorry I forgot John
