Feb Fab Faux Four #14

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

WARNING: THIS BLOG WAS NOT CREATED FOR BEATLEMANIACS!
If you’re on the fence about the Beatles or if you just don’t like them,
this blog is for you. My goal is not to convert you; it’s to expose you
to the lesser-known Beatles songs we don’t hear day in and day out.
These great tunes will show you just how amazing the Beatles are.
Of course, if you are a Beatles fan, pull up a chair and enjoy the tunes!

Happy Valentine’s Day and welcome back to FFFF, all you romantic fools!

Just for today I’ve switched out Misky’s Feb Fab Faux Four Beatles Tiki Gods graphic; as you can see, they’re all wearing their hearts on their sleeves chests …. except for the one in the middle. I wonder what happened to make him so grumpy? Maybe he’s Pete Best!

You probably have a favorite Beatles love song; after all (as we learned last week), according to Paul’s aunt, all they ever wrote were love songs. I have my favorite but I’m not playing it because, as my friend Keith pointed out the other day, some Beatles songs should just be left alone.

I chose today’s song for three reasons: (1) we’re long overdue for a song from the ladies; (2) the harmony is so rich and unexpected, it just makes you smile and (3) it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day❣️

Here’s one of the few Beatles’s songs just begging you to get up and do the Cha ChaCha.

This is the Beatles with “If I Fell”

Here is “If I Fell” by the MonaLisa Twins

Wasn’t that just like eating a big, yummy chocolate heart? Oh my, so very sweet!

The MonaLisa Twins …. Mona & Lisa Wagner …. are Austrian-born, Liverpool-based musicians known primarily for their covers of Beatles songs and other artists from the 60s. Their voices blend so beautifully and this Lennon-McCartney number is perfect for them.

I love when a piece of music surprises me with it’s accidental* chords and intricate harmony; “If I Fell” does that every time I listen to it. For me, it’s one of the Beatles finest pieces and definitely one you don’t hear too often.

Happy Valentines Day❣️ I love you all for stopping by and sticking with me this month. If you have a Beatles remake that you like and want me to share on my blog, leave the name of the song and who covered it in the comments box and I’ll take it from there. Simple as that!

See you on the flip side. 😎

*Accidental: A musical term meaning that a note is either higher or lower than the original natural note; it’s called accidental but it’s no accident.

PS – If any video won’t play for you, I’ve provided the name of the song and who did it so you can find it on YouTube. It’s a pain in the ass but it does happen from time to time. My apologies.

  5. I have seen the Mona Lisa Twins pop up occasionally in my Facebook feed. I have never heard this cover, but I like it. The Beatles version is paramount. This song’s harmony is such a fine example of that Lennon/McCartney “blend.” Great pick!

  12. One of my favourite Beatles songs. I’ve enjoyed lots of the MonaLisa Twins’ videos on YouTube, and this one is no exception. Beautiful sibling harmonies. This one is a draw for me.
