As others have said, T-Rex's Marc Bolan was the inspiration for this song. Ringo, on VH1's "Storytellers" tells of how this song came about. He said he had Marc Bolan as a guest for dinner, and Ringo related that he was an energetic, and frankly, a little weird, guy. For instance, at dinner, Bolan was offered a second helping of potatoes, and responded, "Back off, Boogaloo!" or if told a joke, "Ooh you! Boogaloo!", and the like. The word was reverberating in Ringo's head that night, and eventually, he imagined this melody. He got out of bed to make a recording of his thoughts, as he was afraid he'd forget the tune. As far as this recording, the guitarist was, clearly, George on slide, other guitars and, also, was the producer and co-writer, as he often helped Ringo flesh out the chords. Gary Wright, who had a hit, "Dreamweaver", was on keys. Klaus Voorman, who was a friend from the Beatles' early Hamburg days, and John Lennon's bassist was on bass.
Yes, indeed. They were working together on the Movie Born To Boogie where Ringo was filming the madness of Bolanmania at it`s height, two years after the Beatles` break-up Ringo stood in the middle of the audience and filmed the movie and nobody even noticed him... he was thrilled by the experience, he hadn`t gone unnoticed for close to a decade.
Ringo sang with the Beatles on the following songs: "Honey Don't ", " Boys", "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Octopuses Garden","Good Night","Act Naturally","What Goes On", "With a Little Help From My Friends ","Don't Pass Me By", "Yellow Submarine ".
Ringo also did a song "If You've Got Trouble", that was considered for the Help album, but, the cover of Act Naturally was chosen as the Ringo sung entry, instead. If You've Got Trouble was only released on the Anthology 2 soundtrack.
I could not believe his energy when I saw him when he was in his 60s about 20 years ago, the man can still kill it on drums or as the frontman, leading the ensemble, the man is a legend. So underrated back then, not now.
George Harrison wrote this with Ringo and plays the slide guitar and produced it. This came out in 1972 just two years after the Beatles breakup and some people believe the lyrics are about Paul McCartney. There was animosity at the time and it’s quite possible, but Ringo denies it. Speaking of Paul McCartney, Amber and Jay, you will love the music video for his song “Coming Up” (1980).
A George Harrison classic: "This Song," which has a hilarious video, not to mention plenty of horns and keyboard. A John Lennon gem: "Whatever Gets You Through the Night"; An underrated Paul McCartney tune: "Listen What the Man Said"; a rare Ringo Beatles tune: "Act Naturally"
Hilarious! You have to give his "No No Song" a try... If you do a Paul song, please do "Let Me Roll It"... a power ballad that used to close-off many high school dances! All the best guys!
Ringo's best songs are "It Don't Come Easy" and "Photograph." Both are excellent. He also did some oldies and throwaways, but those two are his best big hits.
George helped Ringo out a lot after the breakup of the Beatles, co-writing several songs including this one which he also produced for him and played the slide guitar on. Ringo tended to be the peacemaker in the band with his laid back fun personality and remains very popular to this day with many famous names joining him in Ringo’s All Starr Band. Very underrated as a solo artist although he was very popular in the immediate aftermath of the split.
Another great Ringo song is “I’m The Greatest”. It was written by John and features John and George One of his later songs that I think is very underrated is “Weight of the World”.
@@shellihouge938 But if it is, he doesn't sound angry to me. It sounds like he's encouraging him to do better. Like he thinks he's lost and needs to pull himself together.
You guys should do Helter skelter by the Beatles. It’s the first heavy metal song ever recorded and it was done by the Beatles. You will not believe that you’re listening to the Beatles when you hear this song.
Helter Skelter has always been controversial, but I mean, can you really know The Beatles without at least hearing it? Paul rewrote the book on how to play bass, John's wall of sound strumming, and George with the SG, nevermind that they kept the background harmonies on their hardest song. I'm not an expert on the band, but they were my first favorite band and I know more than I can readily remember, if that makes sense. I'm just a half blind and getting old guy now, but my first records were Beatles given to me by my Aunt Sarah, who saw them in '69. I watch Jay and Amber mostly on my daughter's account, but I can't even see comments on the YT app on the PS. I'm not much of a commenter on here lol, typing not a strength of mine. I didn't know they had reacted to any Beatles until the other night, lost a few hours after that. Now I feel the need to help, to guide, to point in a different direction than some others I've come across. Not tonight, it's late for me, but I'm thinking, stay tuned......
Great tune. Thumbs up to the person that suggested it. You really ought to do some of his "All Star Band" stuff. He had some real legends play with him and it was one of the best concerts i ever attended.
I caught them a few weeks ago and I likened it to seeing a whole Seventies Rock Festival in one night. Those guys still rock and it was obvious they were just doing it for fun. ✌️
Yes! My favorite Ringo song, followed by It Don't Come Easy. The No No Song will put a smile on your face. Abbey Road is my favorite album of all time. I was 8 when it came out and loved all of it. Ringo wrote and sang Octopus's Garden which was perfect for my age. I think the girls would like it. One of the two George songs on the album is my favorite Beatles song, Here Comes The Sun. Looking forward to you reacting to those. I think It Don't Come Easy is the only one of these you have already done.
He’s a better drummer than he SEEMS to be. There’s a video by someone on YT who analyses his drumming in isolation and there’s more to it than meets the eyes, or should I say ears.
@@melaniesweeten5401 that is was I said. And I was accurate. I said “John and Paul wrote most of the Beatles song.” Some were written as a collaboration and some were solo efforts. But they agreed that both of their names would appear on the publishing as “Lennon and McCartney. George early on usually had one of his song per album, and a song was written for Ringo’s solo. Ringo later wrote some of his songs like “Octopus’s Garden”. George made more contributions later too like “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun” on Abbey Road.
So true. He didn't pretend to be anyone but himself and should not have to apologize for it to the idiot critics. Especially the ones who did not live in the era. Besides he made quite a few hits over the decades, money, some films, and at 83 this year he can tell them all where to go.
Beatles: A Day in the Life. A masterpiece .. transitions .. Paul does a jaunty little solo in the middle after the crescendo: "Woke up, got outa bed .. dragged a comb across my head". AND according to Guiness Book of World Records: the longest final chord of any song ever recorded. Plus a little surprise after that final chord, so you have to wait for it. You HAVE TO experience A Day in the Life from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. You're KNOW you're gonna do it ... just get it on, and do the original album .. not some live track with all the magic echoing away. Balls in your court ...
Love you guys! I can't believe you've only done one Night Ranger song. 2 lead singers 2 lead guitarists, an amazing band. "Don't Tell Me You Love Me," "Sing Me Away," "When You Close Your Eyes," "You Can Still Rock In America," "Four In The Morning" are just a few rockers from this great 80s band "Sentimental Street" is a cool ballad
Great song. Ringo actually had the most hits the 1st few years after the break-up. He was mad at Paul at first. The other's would often contribute songs or playing on his albums. He did, "I'm the Greatest" that John wrote for him.. also, John's "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" next. Ringo's "No, No song" us hilarious! Gotta check it out.
I've read that Ringo wrote this about Paul McCartney. The part about "wake up meat head, don't pretend that you are dead" is supposed to be about the Paul is dead rumors. Apparently, Ringo didn't think that Paul was doing good music anymore so he wrote "get yourself together now and give me something tastey." Hmmmm. That's George Harrison playing that guitar.
Ringo is so fun! 😆🙌 You guys have to hear his song “La De Da”, it’s so catchy and feel good. Also, the songs sang with the Beatles as lead singer like “Octopus’ Garden” “Act Naturally”, and “Yellow Submarine” are a must listen! ❤
Ringo sang lead in the Beatles “Yellow Submarine”, which I think you did, and in “Act Naturally”, the Beatles only Country song, a cover of the Buck Owens tune.
Ringo has some quirky, inspirational sayings to summarize his thoughts, such as A Hard Days Night, which inspired John and Paul to write A Hard Days Night, and Eight days a week. His sayings are cheeky and quirky.
Paul McCartney - Listen to what the man said - Uncle Albert - With a Little Luck - Coming Up - Band on the Run - JET - Live and let Die - Good Night tonight - Get Back - Maybe I'm Amazed - No More Lonely Nights - Take it Away
This was another one of those songs that I have heard many times over the years but never knew the name of it or who the artist was. I'm glad you played it tonight. You got to play the funkiest thing Paul McCartney has ever put his name on, a collaboration with Stevie Wonder called "What's That You're Doin'?" To be honest as far as the sound is concerned, it's basically a Stevie Wonder record with Paul McCartney singing lead but you'll love it.
The " Sleeve" of this 45" record had that Frankensteins Monster on it , I know ,I had it,..& very shortly after, Ringo cut off all hair & facial hair ..including eyebrows !!
You should try Ringo's "Walk with Me","Liverpool Eight", "Never without You", ""Snookeroo", "Rory and the Hurricanes" ,"Weight of the World". "And yes, there are tons of great Paul McCartney songs out there: Letting go, Little Lamb Dragonfly, Hope of Deliverance, This One, London Town. et c. By the way, Paul recorded s a very beautiful tributesong for John, "Here Today", And Ringo wrote "Never withoput You" as his tribute song for George.
I love Ringo. I saw Ringo and his All-Star Band perform about 8 years ago. He still puts on a fantastic show that gets the audience involved. If you have a chance you should see some of these legends perform in concert. After all these years they still have it.🎤🥁🎹🎼🎺🎷🪕🪈🎸
I was at a Ringo Starr & His Allstarr band concert and he already played "Yellow Submarine." Someone yelled out "Octopus's Garden." Ringo being the wit that he is said, "No no, I can't play two underwater songs at one show." That's Ringo 😅
Ringo was so underrated as an artist., many of his songs are very entertaining. Like another said, "No No Song" is great and The "B-side" of that single, "Early 1970" is his take on the Beatles break-up......the entire "goodnight Vienna" album is listen worthy
Paul McCartney - Say Say Say 1980s Feat. Michael Jackson this song is catchy perfection with some the best of the 80s sound and both singers voices in this beautiful harmony 🎵🎶
Hey Jay and Amber, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your reaction video to Ringo Starr's performance! It's so fascinating to see how the Beatles have always communicated through their records in their solo years. And I absolutely love George Harrison's slide guitar on this one! By the way, if you're into more hidden gems, there are plenty of Paul McCartney album tracks waiting to be unearthed. Also, I feel lucky to have witnessed Ringo Starr and his all-star band at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London back in 1998. What a memorable night with the incredible lineup including Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Gary Brooker, and others! Wishing Ringo a very happy 83rd birthday! Much love to all of you! 💙
The Beatles always had a song for Ringo to sing on each of their albums In the United Kingdom (UK). On the Please Please Me album (1963), he sang "Boys". With the Beatles (1963) album, Ringo sang, "I Wanna Be Your Man". The song "Matchbox" was released as part of the Long Tall Sally (June 1964) EP. Singles and EP's were not included on UK albums, as the Beatles felt it was unfair to the fans to buy the singles and EP's and then put them on the album. The Hard Day's Night album was released in July of 1964. "Honey Don't", has a country flavor to it and was on the Beatles for Sale (1964) album. "Act Naturally" was a country song by Buck Owens that Ringo sang on the Help (1965) album. "What Goes On" is another Country flavored song on the Rubber Soul (1965) album. "Yellow Submarine" was sang on the Revolver (1966) album. "With A Little Help From My Friends" came on the Sgt. Pepper (1967) album. "Don't Pass Me By" another Country style song, was on the White Album (1968). "Octopus's Garden" was on the Abbey Road Album (1969). The 1970 Let It Be album, was the only album where Ringo did not sing as a lead vocal.
A real gem from Ringo is a song called Early 1970, which was the B-side of his hit song, It Don’t Come Easy. Each verse of the song is a commentary aimed at each of his ex-bandmates. The 1st verse was written with Paul in mind, the 2nd about John, the 3rd verse for George, and the final verse was about himself. Like this song, it features superb guitar work courtesy of George Harrison. It's a catchy tune with cleaver lyrics. I hope y'all give it a listen.
I still share this in the music groups I'm in. Just luv it. Brill Funny video. 1 song you have to play is photograph a beautiful sad song. Just amazing xx
The Beatles used to kid Paul about his singing like Ricky Richardo who's style of music was called Boogaloo. As a result Paul was nicknamed Bugaloo. The other Beatles were mad at Paul at the time and telling him to back off.
Ringo co-wrote this with an uncredited George Harrison who produced it and plays all the guutars. Piano by Gary Wright ("Dreamweaver"), and bass by long time Beatles friend Klaus Voorman. Klaus has played on John and Georgr's solo albums and created the cover for The Beatles album Revolver. It is allegedly directed at Paul.
'With a Little Help from my Friends' is a great Beatles song with Ringo on vocals, but it's best listened to in combination with 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' (first 2 songs of the Pepper album). Other recommendations: 'Oh! Darling' (with Paul belting it out as he did on 'Maybe I'm Amazed'), 'Lady Madonna,' 'Hey Bulldog' and 'Michelle.' Btw, you've still got a very long way to go covering the Beatles' catalog.
Cool beans! Thanks!! Again, try "Goodnight" from the White Album. All the solo stuff is Beat less said to some degree. Thanks for three nice fun tunes!!
Beatles songs with Ringo Starr singing to listen to are. "Octopus Garden" written by Ringo and "With a little help from my friends" written by Lennon and McCartney. This is two of the best songs with Ringo singing to check out.
Gotta do Ringo... The No No Song. Great story song 👍
Yes🤗🤗😂😂❤
I wonder why I always think of Ringo’s The No No Song, and Dr Hook’s, I Got Stoned And I Missed It, together. 🤔😉
Yes!!!😊
Been asking for it for a year. You can lead a reactor to a song they’ll like but you can’t make them listen.
@@Paladin70 The top posted comment and the recency of your comment. I'd wager the chances are getting decent they will listen

Great story! Thanks for the clarification.
yeah he was def. influnced by T Rex here; he's got his old 50s "Teddy Boy" clothes on too
Ok but who played Frankenstein? 🤔🙂
Ringo had All Stars on his records long before he started the All Star Tours, everyone wants play with Ringo! Great story for sure.

Ringo also did a song "If You've Got Trouble", that was considered for the Help album, but, the cover of Act Naturally was chosen as the Ringo sung entry, instead. If You've Got Trouble was only released on the Anthology 2 soundtrack.
Act Naturally would be a great choice for a reaction. Originally recorded by Buck Owens
He wrote Don't Pass Me By and Octopus Garden
@@mikelsaltym2676 He was also co-credited with Lennon/McCartney on "What Goes On".
Photograph (co written with George Harrison) is one of Ringo's best solo songs. Reached no.1 in several charts around the world.
Ringo is a true phenomenon. I was lucky enough to catch the All Star Band a couple of weeks ago and at 83 he still rocks out like a teenager. ✌️
Andy, I saw them when Ringo was 80 and I couldn't believe the energy and movements he had. Oh, and the music was fabulous.
I could not believe his energy when I saw him when he was in his 60s about 20 years ago, the man can still kill it on drums or as the frontman, leading the ensemble, the man is a legend. So underrated back then, not now.

They obviously made up because when Ringo was inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Paul was there to offer a tribute.
@@bradsullivan2495 Of course. Time heals all wounds or most of them anyway.
He has so many better songs than Coming Up.
@@brucefrank5556 I think Amber and Jay will love the video and the song. Plus, it was a song John Lennon really liked.
@@Sweetish_Jeff_ I stand by my statement.
"With a little help from my friends" Ringo Starr version is soo great❤
My favorite Beatle. Up until about 10 years ago Ringo answered EVERY fan letter he got. Class act all the way.
A George Harrison classic: "This Song," which has a hilarious video, not to mention plenty of horns and keyboard. A John Lennon gem: "Whatever Gets You Through the Night"; An underrated Paul McCartney tune: "Listen What the Man Said"; a rare Ringo Beatles tune: "Act Naturally"
Yes! This Song!
@@nancywest1926 Nothing tricky about it...
Could be "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch"!
NO! Sounds more like "Rescue Me"!!
I LOVE Listen to What the Man Said!
All for "This Song" and Crackerbox Palace!
Hilarious! You have to give his "No No Song" a try...
If you do a Paul song, please do "Let Me Roll It"... a power ballad that used to close-off many high school dances! All the best guys!
Such a great guitar riff
I 2nd let me roll it
Co-written and produced by George Harrsion, and I'm sure you can hear him on guitar.
Ringo was the first Beatle to have a hit song after they broke up!
Ringo's best songs are "It Don't Come Easy" and "Photograph." Both are excellent. He also did some oldies and throwaways, but those two are his best big hits.

Ringo has quite a few good post Beatles songs. Think the No No No song is a favorite, very funny.
This is the highlight of any Ringo show! The band has a chance to rock out a bit.
Another great Ringo song is “I’m The Greatest”. It was written by John and features John and George
One of his later songs that I think is very underrated is “Weight of the World”.
McCartney’ Maybe I’m Amazed is absolutely amazing. His solo album where he played all instruments and this song was the showcase
The guys actually did this song probably a year ago
Ringo wrote this in 1971 in the wake of court action by the other beatles against him and was directed at Paul
That's what I thought, it may be directed at Paul
@@shellihouge938 But if it is, he doesn't sound angry to me. It sounds like he's encouraging him to do better. Like he thinks he's lost and needs to pull himself together.
@@Kieop I agree and it was a short lived irritation as well given "Early 1970" 😊
You guys should do Helter skelter by the Beatles. It’s the first heavy metal song ever recorded and it was done by the Beatles. You will not believe that you’re listening to the Beatles when you hear this song.
I've made the same request before. I doubt they'll ever do it.
Pete Townshend: The Beatles can’t do hard rock.
Paul McCartney: Hold my beer.

Paul and John wrote most of the songs for the Beatles. Then George had a lot of contributions later, and Ringo usually had one song per album.
That's not accurate. Paul and John's songwriting contributions were pretty equal.

Love Ringo. He carved out his own unique niche with and without The Beatles.

Balls in your court ...
They have already reacted to "A Day in The Life"!
been years since I've heard this song,love it!!!!
If you want some memorable Ringo drumming; take a listen to the Beatles; "Rain" and "Tomorrow Never Knows"
I whole heartedly agree. Rain and Tomorrow Never Knows are musts!
He has a good song called "Oh My My" that you really should listen to
Love you guys! I can't believe you've only done one Night Ranger song. 2 lead singers 2 lead guitarists, an amazing band. "Don't Tell Me You Love Me," "Sing Me Away," "When You Close Your Eyes," "You Can Still Rock In America," "Four In The Morning" are just a few rockers from this great 80s band "Sentimental Street" is a cool ballad
I like how the couple is just grooving and really into the song. I also appreciate what they say about it.

Check out Paul McCartney's "My Love" or "Jet" next!!!!
Ringo still making music at 82! Still sounds great.
Hey guys
Luv this song
Ringo turns 83 on July 7th.
I've read that Ringo wrote this about Paul McCartney. The part about "wake up meat head, don't pretend that you are dead" is supposed to be about the Paul is dead rumors. Apparently, Ringo didn't think that Paul was doing good music anymore so he wrote "get yourself together now and give me something tastey." Hmmmm. That's George Harrison playing that guitar.
George Harrison's "Cheer Down" --- it's the closing credits for the movie "Lethal Weapon 2".
Ringo is so fun! 😆🙌 You guys have to hear his song “La De Da”, it’s so catchy and feel good. Also, the songs sang with the Beatles as lead singer like “Octopus’ Garden” “Act Naturally”, and “Yellow Submarine” are a must listen! ❤
Try "Snookeroo"
No No Song is my favorite Ringo song.
Oh my gosh! I had forgotten this song, it's been so long!!! Thanks for listening and reacting to it. 😁😁😁
Ringo sang lead in the Beatles “Yellow Submarine”, which I think you did, and in “Act Naturally”, the Beatles only Country song, a cover of the Buck Owens tune.
Ringo is just a unique character. Of all the Beatles his demeanor was the funnest and most quirky, his songs reflect that as well.
"A Dose of Rock and Roll" is one of Ringo's best.
That is my all time favorite Ringo song!
Absolutely Love Ringo 🥁🎙 !!❤❤❤❤❤
Ringo has some quirky, inspirational sayings to summarize his thoughts, such as A Hard Days Night, which inspired John and Paul to write A Hard Days Night, and Eight days a week. His sayings are cheeky and quirky.

Ringo song with The Beatles OCTOPUS'S GARDEN !!!!!! He wrote it himself.
On this day in 1972, Ringo Starr invented "The Mullet."
Two awesome early Beatles songs are "No Reply" and "I'll Be Back".
Ringo knows how to have fun!!❤❤❤
Paul McCartney - Listen to what the man said - Uncle Albert - With a Little Luck - Coming Up - Band on the Run - JET - Live and let Die - Good Night tonight - Get Back - Maybe I'm Amazed - No More Lonely Nights - Take it Away
Tasty slide guitar solo by the man who produced this recording.......George Harrison!

This was one of the few songs that were a slap at Paul...all time best though, was John's How do you sleep! Classic. Love you guys. ❤❤
So true, by the time of the split McCartney had become a right shirt front.
SHADES OF "HEY JUDE"
Especially the piano.
for your next McCartney track check out "No More Lonely Nights"...it includes David Gilmour on Lead Guitar....good stuff !
I was at a Ringo Starr & His Allstarr band concert and he already played "Yellow Submarine." Someone yelled out "Octopus's Garden." Ringo being the wit that he is said, "No no, I can't play two underwater songs at one show." That's Ringo 😅
Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love
Great tune
Oh wow, another song I haven't heard in decades. Such a cool beat.
Great song ~ Great reaction
Ringo was so underrated as an artist., many of his songs are very entertaining. Like another said, "No No Song" is great and The "B-side" of that single, "Early 1970" is his take on the Beatles break-up......the entire "goodnight Vienna" album is listen worthy
The Beatles had nicknames and Paul's was Bugaloo. This song was a slap at Paul for blaming John for their breakup.
Photograph is his best solo song.
Ringo is just infinitely loveable
His first solo album RINGO, I had it on vinyl. Is classic and he brings it.
I loved this song so much when I was a kid! I found a stray kitten and named him Boogaloo!
Paul McCartney - Say Say Say 1980s Feat. Michael Jackson this song is catchy perfection with some the best of the 80s sound and both singers voices in this beautiful harmony 🎵🎶
I think they already did reaction on this song😊
JAY! It took me a moment to notice your shirt. OH, MAN!! "Run Away!! Run Away!!" 🤣🤣
Ringo Star - Photograph (My Favorite!)
Ringo is always busy in the music world,,✌️🔊
I’ve not heard this song for ages, like decades!
Hey Jay and Amber, I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your reaction video to Ringo Starr's performance! It's so fascinating to see how the Beatles have always communicated through their records in their solo years. And I absolutely love George Harrison's slide guitar on this one! By the way, if you're into more hidden gems, there are plenty of Paul McCartney album tracks waiting to be unearthed.
Also, I feel lucky to have witnessed Ringo Starr and his all-star band at Shepherd's Bush Empire in London back in 1998. What a memorable night with the incredible lineup including Peter Frampton, Jack Bruce, Gary Brooker, and others! Wishing Ringo a very happy 83rd birthday! Much love to all of you! 💙
Photograph will always be my favorite from Ringo!
Good song good reaction
The Beatles always had a song for Ringo to sing on each of their albums In the United Kingdom (UK). On the Please Please Me album (1963), he sang "Boys". With the Beatles (1963) album, Ringo sang, "I Wanna Be Your Man". The song "Matchbox" was released as part of the Long Tall Sally (June 1964) EP. Singles and EP's were not included on UK albums, as the Beatles felt it was unfair to the fans to buy the singles and EP's and then put them on the album. The Hard Day's Night album was released in July of 1964. "Honey Don't", has a country flavor to it and was on the Beatles for Sale (1964) album. "Act Naturally" was a country song by Buck Owens that Ringo sang on the Help (1965) album. "What Goes On" is another Country flavored song on the Rubber Soul (1965) album. "Yellow Submarine" was sang on the Revolver (1966) album. "With A Little Help From My Friends" came on the Sgt. Pepper (1967) album. "Don't Pass Me By" another Country style song, was on the White Album (1968). "Octopus's Garden" was on the Abbey Road Album (1969). The 1970 Let It Be album, was the only album where Ringo did not sing as a lead vocal.
Fantastic song, great drums and fantastic lead guitar by GEORGE HARRISON! YES THAT IS GEORGE HARRISON
A real gem from Ringo is a song called Early 1970, which was the B-side of his hit song, It Don’t Come Easy. Each verse of the song is a commentary aimed at each of his ex-bandmates. The 1st verse was written with Paul in mind, the 2nd about John, the 3rd verse for George, and the final verse was about himself. Like this song, it features superb guitar work courtesy of George Harrison. It's a catchy tune with cleaver lyrics. I hope y'all give it a listen.
My favorite Ringo song is You’re Sixteen. I played it for my daughter on her birthday.
Some great Ringo Starr songs out there like Photograph (love it so much) & It Don't Come Easy
I still share this in the music groups I'm in. Just luv it. Brill Funny video.
1 song you have to play is photograph a beautiful sad song. Just amazing xx
RING-O!!!! 🤠 Yes, MORE Sir Paul as well!
Ringo Starr - You're Sixteen - It Don't Come Easy
Boogaloo was Paul McCartney
The Beatles used to kid Paul about his singing like Ricky Richardo who's style of music was called Boogaloo. As a result Paul was nicknamed Bugaloo. The other Beatles were mad at Paul at the time and telling him to back off.
Ringo co-wrote this with an uncredited George Harrison who produced it and plays all the guutars. Piano by Gary Wright ("Dreamweaver"), and bass by long time Beatles friend Klaus Voorman. Klaus has played on John and Georgr's solo albums and created the cover for The Beatles album Revolver.
It is allegedly directed at Paul.
BREAKIN' 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO - By OLLIE & JERRY 1984 Break Dance Music ,catchy fun synth R&B
'With a Little Help from my Friends' is a great Beatles song with Ringo on vocals, but it's best listened to in combination with 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' (first 2 songs of the Pepper album). Other recommendations: 'Oh! Darling' (with Paul belting it out as he did on 'Maybe I'm Amazed'), 'Lady Madonna,' 'Hey Bulldog' and 'Michelle.' Btw, you've still got a very long way to go covering the Beatles' catalog.
Cool beans! Thanks!! Again, try "Goodnight" from the White Album. All the solo stuff is Beat less said to some degree. Thanks for three nice fun tunes!!
It's got to be his cover of You're Sixteen. You'll be singing along and waving your arms in the air.
Beatles songs with Ringo Starr singing to listen to are. "Octopus Garden" written by Ringo and "With a little help from my friends" written by Lennon and McCartney. This is two of the best songs with Ringo singing to check out.
