not the beatles - not 1

Artist Song
aerosmith  i'm down 
shonen knife  rain 
bette midler  in my life 
wedding present  getting better 
paul weller  don't let me down 
anyways  if you needed someone 
heavenly  it won't be long 
mega city four  a hard day's night 
brilliant corners  drive my car 
family  i'm only sleeping 
billy bragg  revolution 
driscolls  she said she said 
family cat  across the universe 
senseless things  i must be in love 
love's young nightmare  it's all too much 
damned  help 
siouxsie and the banshees  helter skelter 
cornershop  norwegian wood 
pm dawn  the beautiful 
beatle hans and the paisley perverts  rain 
cub  i'm your angel 

Comment:

this was actually the second mix cd i made. a present for my mother-in-law who is just about the biggest beatles fan i have ever met. when she came to visit us in england for the first time, i took her to liverpool, to the beatle museum, to the site of the original cavern, to paul mccartney's house and to abbey road to name but a few. the alert among you may spot that not every song on this mix is actually a beatles' cover. we can argue about how much of the pm dawn piece is original and how much is the fab moptops, but there are two other songs which are in no way beatles numbers, but which yet most definitely belong on this mix. can you spot them? and do you know why they belong?

The Senseless Things track is actually a Rutles cover & the PM Dawn track samples "Baby you're a Rich Man" (I think). Cool mix!

quite right. but i did own up to the pm dawn thing (and does it sample? or simply quote from?). there is another cuckoo in the nest :)
but thanks for the kind words

The Cub song is a Yoko cover that was on Double Fantasy and was the B-side to John Lennon's "Watching The Wheels" single . The Rutles cover was previously mentioned.

Im surprised you used Helter Skelter by Siouxsie on the mix! Usually I see people (myself included) use Dear Prudence instead. Impressive

Bad Brains version of "Day Tripper" would've been a fine edition to this. Or Victor Wooten's version of "Norwegian Wood."

I'm assuming you've never heard Wilson Pickett's version of "Hey Jude," which would explain its absence here.

It kicks ass!
