Bad To Me - The Beatles

(desde MOTB)
Letra:
If you ever leave me, I'll be sad and blue
Don't you ever leave me, I'm so in love with you
The birds in the sky would be sad and lonely,
If they knew that I lost my one and only,
They'd be sad if you're bad to me
The leaves on the trees would be softly sighin'
If they heard from the breeze that you left me cryin',
They'd be sad, don't be bad to me
But I know you won't leave me 'cos you told me so,
And I've no intention of letting you go,
Just as long as you let me know, you won't be bad to me
So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely,
'Cos they know that I got my one and only
They'd be glad that you're not bad to me
They'd be glad that you're not bad to me, to me, to me
Caro Lane

[@tyrannosauruszeppelin2205]

This song would be a major hit for 90% of groups in Britain at that time. For the Beatles, it's an unsignificant throwaway. Perfect illustrates the overall quality of Beatles songs. Legend says George Martin told John Lennon that Billy J Kramer and the Dakota's desperately needed a hit, and John just wrote in a couple of minutes and the Dakota's made a comeback. They literally made a comeback off a throwaway demo by the Beatles. Shows how perfect the Beatles' officially released material is. Geniuses.

George Martin helped with many Beatles songs. Since they were not musically trained he was able to offer musical suggestions. This isn't up for debate. Martin was essential to the Beatles creativity.

John was asked to write a song for Billy J by Brian Epstein . this is it.

[@goplad1]

Lennon and McCartney "gave away" many great songs. Consequently they recorded songs they should have given away. I'll never understand how McCartney could give Peter & Gordon a gem like "World Without Love" and keep a mediocre song like "Things We Said Today" for example. I love the Beatles but I cannot honestly say I love every song they recorded.

[@jrgboy]

@@goplad1 World Without Love was an old song Paul had half written years before, both John & Paul felt it was not right for The Beatles so Paul completed it and offered it to Peter Asher, Paul was living at the Asher's house as he was going out with Peters sister, Jane - John & Paul only recorded the songs they thought would suit the Beatles , I know many people disagreed with their choice but that's the way it was ...

[@goplad1]

@@jrgboy Yes I'm aware of the history behind the song and why Lennon and McCartney offered their songs to others. In some cases I can appreciate that the song might not fit the Beatles "style" or whatever the case was. Songs like "Tip Of My Tongue" and "Like Dreamers Do" were substandard songs so it made sense to "give them away". In the case of "I Want To Be Your Man" Lennon and McCartney specifically wrote it for the Rolling Stones, who did a fantastic job with it. When the Beatles were recording their second album they decided to give the song to Ringo for his obligatory inclusion on a Beatles album. In my opinion Ringo ruined the song. The Beatles version of their own song paled in comparison to the Rolling Stones high octane version.

I was at school in the 4th form in 1962 when The Beatles first had a hit.Teenage girls in particular became obsessed with them, and hardly a day went by without them being on the front of every newspaper. Within a few months everyone had heard of them and there has never been anything like them since.They were the biggest thing in show biz for a number of years. They kick started the guitar's popularity and I recall music shops very busy on a Saturday with teenage boys wanting to buy guitars and amps.Many would see sales for just one Saturday equal to what would have taken them months to achieve before The Beatles .

[@tomrogerlilleby2890]

If they had done proper recordings of every one of their own songs that they gave away to others - we would at least have one extra Beatles album of their earliest period to add to our collection. An Australian cover group called "BEATNIX" have done an album of these songs that was given away to other artists - and is to be found here on KZbin - but not on Spotify though. Their versions sounds very close to the way The Beatles would have recorded them. And I guess that's the whole idea. It is called : The Beatnix - "It's Four You." PS One "fun fact" about this Australian cover group is that the man who emmulating Paul McCartney and of course plays the bass - actually started out as left handed - like McCartney. But his music teacher convinced him to learn the instrument the correct way - and added : "One day you will thank me for this" !

RockYouVideos Interesting. I wonder where they came from .

[@vaultboy5492]

Pengu This is just an edited version from Billy Kramers with Lennons voice edited on

[@JoseSanchez-bp7xz]

RockYouVideos It sure wouldn’t be hard to play on drums.

[@evetsnitram8866]

Sounds like George on his Rick 12 string.

[@partygrottocult1465]

RockYouVideos it sounds like they added John’s recording over the Billy J Kramer recording.

[@moeb434]

Great guitar. Great vocal. Beatles just tapping into that vein of pure gold. The Dakotas did a great job on this gem. Nice early pics of the boys. Good job!

[@shnookylangston]

At 1:01, George is playing that Rickenbacker 425 that he bought in Elgin, Illinois when he went to visit his sister.

This is one of the first Beatle songs that I loved

[@hamsterstavros]

I often find myself whistling this wonderful song !!

this song always brings me joy thanks to Johnny 💝❤😇

Love this song..have since I was a kid

[@rheailiarome2287]

I just love them now as much as I loved them then. Actually, they have filled my life with love. Bless them 🙏

[@fliegeroh]

It sounds like a nice mix "mashup" of John's acoustic demo and Billy J. Kramer's version backup music. Very well done. It's like hearing a "new" Beatles tune.

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

It is NOT Billy J. Kramer's backup music. Billy did this song ONE FULL STEP LOWER than Lennon's demo. LOL

[@fliegeroh]

@@yesterdayproductions1019 Yes, but today it's easy enough to lower an entire track in pitch and re-record it. So, it's possible.

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

@@fliegerohYou still don't get it. Billy J's version has DIFFERENT CHORDS in a few of the parts of the song.

[@MatthewCSykes]

@@yesterdayproductions1019No this is definitely the Dakotas version sped up with the Lennon demo also pitched up and added over. Drum fills, solo, parts are all identical, just in a different key. The Beatles never did a full version of this. Only recording is of Lennon doing this is from 63 solo demo just him and an acoustic. This bootleg has been circulating for years as a full Beatles demo, but it’s just not the case.

[@yesterdayproductions1019]

@@MatthewCSykes And you are a stubborn Fool who knows NOTHING about music. 1). The Dakotas version some HAS DIFFERENT CHORDS in it than the Beatles demo even in a different key. LOL

[@w1o2l3f4i5e]

I can’t remember hearing the Beatles sing this before. This is one that they gave to Billy J Kramer. It was a big hit in the UK for him when I was a teenager.

[@edsanders9605]

Love, love this- I especially like the intro that never comes back- Lennon did that several times- "If I Fell" his best!!!

[@jaddison1112]

This is just a wonderful song like almost every Beatle song was and is. ( even though the "hit" was by Billy J. Kramer). Classic memories from my youth. And at 71 I stiil can sing almost every word of every Beatle song ! ~~~ Wooo !

[@jorgemercanti9575]

I had never heard this song before, it's just wonderful, LOVE IT!!!

Great series of the Early Photo's and in my opinion the best Days!

As their careers progressed you can see the smiles of success. They were young and handed a huge undertaking. They names will be carved into history.

[@AlYagami1598]

Amo con todo mi corazon esta banda, es la mejor 💜

[@julianaylor4351]

I keep hearing the Billy J Cramer version in my head, maybe because I'm 59 and it's the one I know best, even though I've been a Beatles fan since I was two and a half.❤️

[@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020]

This song is so Merseyside. Something about it sounds so port like, Liverpudlian, I love it.

[@Ryan-kn6xd]

As a scouser I completely agree

[@bobsapsford7526]

Gerry and the pacemakers took it into the charts.

[@ivangranger8494]

Bob Sapsford I think it was Billy J Kramer, on this one being a hit. A great job, by him. Did Gerry sing this also?

[@kevinmason4723]

Even better Liverpudlian: Misery by the Beatles

This song kind of reminds me of IT won't be long. Right? This is 100% early beatles style!!! Love it !

[@harrycoyle4529]

1:38 A great photo of George Harrison whose singing and playing added so much to the Beatles' success. His choice of a Gretch G6122 Country Gentleman boosted the company's image and sales when Fender had been dominating the American market .
