I thought you were gonna say "I am the walrus" but that was another band of course
Thought you were going to say Oasis, but they sounded nowt like them so that would've been silly.

Did it as a piss take.. The BBC had banned a couple of his songs, so did this as a "lets see them ban this" statement.
Some might say otherwise

He also did Mull Of Kintyre, one of the most excruciatingly awful records of the 70s , which Billy Connolly did a really funny pisstake of.
Then later "Ebony And Ivory" and "The Frog Chorus". Who was he taking the piss out of with those 45 RPM abortions ?
The very first heavy metal track

Frog Chorus was from a kids film. Rupert and the Frog Song - Wikipedia

Yet gain the wise SMB confuse Best with favourite/least favourite.
No matter what your musical preferences, The Beatles were, and remain, the most groundbreaking and influential band of all time.
Anyone thinking different is an obvious wrang un.
Yep, and you don't have to actually like them to acknowledge that fact.
Aye.
I was encouraged to go by my Mam and Dad to 'keep me off the streets' and because at the time the youth club side was run by my aunt, uncle and female cousin.
To say they were old fashioned would be an understatement and they definitely weren't keen on 'rock 'n' roll, so even for an early teen, Rock House was considered to be a desperately uncool place to hang out.
But they had a decent table tennis table and as you well know there was literally bugger all else to do in Seaham back then.
Plus there were girls.
With practice I got to be pretty decent at table tennis, but, regardless of practice, my success on the girl front was a consistent and spectacular failure.
Happy days.

I remember taking dogs there for an 'obedience class' which was the term used there for dog training.

Lennon refused to perform on the studio recording for Abbey Road as he called it one of Paul's granny songs.

Yes, a granny song about a violent murderer. Its really clever in that way.Lennon refused to perform on the studio recording for Abbey Road as he called it one of Paul's granny songs.
Bloody hell I remember that now.
It always seemed a busy place with something community based going on most days and nights.
I passed the area just the other day and it brought back lots of memories.
When I was a couple of years older I used to watch a local band practice in York House just over the road.

I used to watch a local band 'Weirde Leefe' practise at the community place (senility has prevented me remembering the name) off Denehouse Road.

Not sure brutal murders are typical granny songs mind.
Bit like how The Smiths superbly combined Marrs uplifting jangles with Morriseys young in cheek miserable lyrics.

The band I watched were called Soul Sensation. Quite ordinary band except for the lad who played keyboards and he was quite exceptional.
Can't remember the name of the place on Denehouse Road. Wasn't there a scouts or sea scouts building over there somewhere?
Anyway Denehouse Road also brings back plenty of memories - some good, some bad and one that will have to wait for the next 'what's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you' thread and even then I'll still need a drink.
