I HATE THE BEATLES
-
to the tune, "Pop Goes the Weasel" Performed live on The Dean Martin Show (NBC 1965) with Allan Sherman and Vic Damone.

Trying to get attention?

That was a Big Favor. Sherman was satirizing the angst of our near-do-well parents. But then he added some knocks. So what happened? We became defensive and bought more Beatles. But only because we were going to anyhow.
And Remember. Dino, Desi & Billy. So Papa wasn't out of the loop. He was selling tickets. -

Dino married Olivia Hussey (1968 Romeo & Juliet movie) and also Dorothy Hamill the ice skater and it was so sad when he died in the jet plane crash: "Martin, an avid pilot, obtained his pilot's license at age 16 and became an officer in the California Air National Guard in 1981. He rose to the rank of captain. He died in 1987 when his Air National Guard F-4 Phantom jet fighter departed March Air Force Base and crashed in California's San Bernardino Mountains during a snowstorm, killing him and his Weapons Systems Officer, Captain Ramon Ortiz."

The Beatles were probably hated more than liked by the public during their time together. It took several years after the breakup to get a better sense of the impact they had. If you read many of the contemporary reviews of their music, even their later day albums, many of them were mediocre reviews. Pepper might be the only exception.

That is totally wrong. Study your Beatles' history. They were a worldwide phenomenon, which is captured in films of them taken worldwide in 1963 to 1966. It went sour for awhile in the U.S. during the "bigger than Jesus" fiasco in '66, but they quit touring and came roaring back. There were few negative reviews, which were for the most part adulating and rapturous when they were together. They really only got slammed in Britain when Magical Mystery Tour was played on TV in black and white. No celebrity will ever get totally positive media coverage, but they certainly did as much as anyone.

Absolute nonsense.

Yeah, from my reckoning the Beatles were adored and largely respected the whole way through.... slight hiccup with some burning their records, and the Magical Mystery Tour (as a "film", but which still had some exceptionally pretty cool "film clips" and songs... perhaps they were too generous in trying to give the fans something) ... might not have been that adored by some in the Philippines... but geez, they bounded back every time, in major ways. Certainly didn't need any retrospective analysis to imprint themselves. They were HUGE the whole way through.
-
ps. I am the Walrus is one of the greatest songs ever of the Beatles.
-
Olivia Hussey sure was hot... wowee

It's actually called "Pop Hates the Beatles," and here's the full version:
Pay attention to dad's complaint about concert ticket prices at about 1:40. Times have changed... -

Yes, and more than the Beatles actually charged. But it does seem rather hilariously cheap now. At least I paid more than $47 a pair for my last Paul tickets a few years ago.
