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.

Welcome back to Feb Fab Faux Four.

Now it’s time for something completely different. I got a request to feature today’s song; if I get a request and I have room, I’ll post it. Too bad requests didn’t start coming in until just the other day. Regarding requests …. I will give you some info about the original song but will not comment on the cover.

So, just what the hell is this song about anyway? For John Lennon, the answer was simple: “That was just a sort of nice line that I made into a song. It was about me and Yoko. Everybody seemed to be paranoid except for us two, who were in the glow of love. Everything is clear and open when you’re in love.“

Additionally, the lyrics contain sayings the Beatles heard from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. In further comments on the song, John said it addressed his bandmates’ initial reaction to his relationship with Yoko. There is also wide speculation that the title of the song as well as some of the lyrics reference John and Yoko’s heroin use during ’68.

Recorded early in the sessions for the White Album, the track typifies the Beatles’ return to a rock sound in 1968 after their psychedelic period.

I had originally programmed Soundgarden’s cover of this song but when the request came in, I went with that instead.

Ok, enough chitchat. Here we go.

Here are the Beatles with “Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey”.

Today’s requested remake of the Beatles’ song with the longest name as done by Fats Domino.

Just for fun, here’s Soundgarden:

Discuss amongst yourselves.

That’s it for today, kids. I’m outta here.

See you on the flip side. 😎

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.
