Strewthless - No, this is the best Beatles song for dancing to. I remember my dad saying you'll see everyone dancing to this one once when the song was played, and we were in some banquet hall with his side of the family for some reason. A long time ago.

I remember knowing all the lyrics to this song. Summer 2002. Takes me right back. It was one of my favorites back then.

snj90 , familiar with the story behind that one? John found a poster in from the 1840's in an antiques shop, advertising a circus in Rochdale, and turned it into a song. Although McCartney later claimed to have co-written the song with him.  The Cirque de Soleil production is freaky:

One of the best James Bond theme songs, not sure which is the best, though. There's a lot of good ones.

I asked my uncle, in his 60's, what music his parents had liked. He said his dad played piano in a "progressive jazz band". Supposedly there was a pianist, a bass player and drums. I'd guess this song is a similar arrangement, although it's hard to pin this to any single genre. I know McCartney was the member of the band who was most influenced by older, pre-1950's music.
It's said that the success of this more traditional style of song helped the 1968 rock revival, bringing an end to the flower-power and psychedelia phase that had dominated western music throughout 1967.
The energetic piano intro is my favourite part.

snj90 , Ringo pulled in Paul, Dave Grohl and some other geriatric rock stars for this, it is quite good tbf. But what I'm most impressed by is how young Ringo looks at 80, that's crazy. Doesn't seem like he's done much besides dying his hair.

Strewthless - Yeah, I know about Ringo. Paul, who's about two years younger, looks more his age now.

Speaking of Ringo, this was his best drumming work, brilliant fills.
I suspect Oasis enjoyed this song, their sound, their look, even their orginal band name was The Rain.
Fast forward 30 years, same haircuts, similar sound, they even put Beatles references in the lyrics. The rooftop setting itself was a homage to the 1969 rooftop concert. Although I do prefer Supersonic. It's actually my favourite Oasis song.
