What A Tune! First Time Hearing The Beatles Hey Jude

[@cweefy]

I literally have a hard time believing someone has never heard this. What a fucking gift to hear it for the first time!!

[@ottocarson]

Don’t believe everything you hear. Hundreds say the same, just business, you know 😉

[@porflepopnecker4376]

A lot of young people have never even heard of the Beatles. Nothing surprises me.

[@epic8749]

People can say the Beatles weren’t all that but there’s not many musicians that are known in every single part of the world and are loved in every single part of the world. What a gift to beable to watch someone listen to this for the first time and react the same way I did.

[@Necile2]

This is the best song ever written. How could the Beatles possibly be overrated?

[@elysehfm8797]

Paul McCartney wrote this for John Lennon's son Julian/Jude.

[@FallenHellscape]

Also, the Beatles transformed music back in the day.

[@drutgat2]

Thanks for this, and good for you for doing this. Whoever is telling you that they do not know why The Beatles are thought of so highly are, thankfully, part of a small minority. The Beatles were the best selling artists from 2000 - 2009 (overtaken at that point by Eminem), and were the best selling recording artists of the 20th. Century, and have still sold more than any other musicians on the planet. The reasons for their dominant, unassailable position in this regard is near universal appeal. The Beatles and Dylan turned Pop - an entertainment medium - into Rock, a vehicle for artistic expression. The Beatles brought ideas about things like Buddhism into mainstream Western consciousness; they introduced new sounds (e.g., what is now called 'World Music'), and instruments to the World at large - and none of The Beatles could read or write music notation, nor did they know any theory! Their musical and technical innovations are almost too many to count. What The Beatles did could not be deliberately planned and carried out. They are one of the most important cultural entities of the last few hundred years. Incredible.

[@markallem1267]

Paul’s screams are better than a lot of other artists’ vocals!

[@davidvornsand6054]

The Beatles captured a generation all over the world! No internet, no MTV! A message that started as a whisper and became a roar that connected the youth of every country! Thank you for sharing! Xod

[@Choirguy95]

One thing is DEFINETLY for sure, the Beatles were NOT over rated, seriously, are you kidding? OVERATED? You need to see the history of this group, there are documentaries on them you need to see. They are the greatest group of all time.

[@bobbobbins4877]

People who think The Beatles are overrated have usually only heard their more well-known, poppier songs.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

not liking the Beatles is like not liking oxygen, or water.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

People who think the Beatles are "overrated" are just plain stupid, period.

[@richruksenas5992]

If the Beatles are overrated, then everybody is.

[@Julian-to7ro]

Thanks for your reaction bruv, loved it. This song is 53 years old but it sounds so fresh and timeless init. Such a good mood and so clean aswell but also with a bit of swagger at the end with all the YEEAH YEAH lol

[@justjord4088]

Let’s go 🙏

[@daletwin1]

You should listen to The Abbey road medley by the Beatles. It's a bunch of short songs that the Beatles recorded at the end of The Abbey road album. It always knocks the socks off of first time listeners. It is a life-changing musical experience.

[@GabrielSoares-lj9rv]

To me, it´s one of the greatest pieces of music ever written!!! A tremendous MASTERPIECE!!!

[@daletwin1]

@@GabrielSoares-lj9rv I agree.

[@linzirainbow6577]

When a tune knocks you back in your seat as this just did to you, you just know its one of the all time greats and a total classic that stands the test of time

[@markydh83]

Your face when you kept reacting to Paul’s many screams in the coda were priceless 😂

[@robertsonsid]

Always turn this up on the radio and sing along.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

This was one of the most unusual singles ever released at the time. I'd play it on the jukebox to really get my dime's worth.

[@jamesdrynan]

McCartney's vocal rise at 5:09 to high F scream is fantastic! This mantra became world wide in 1969 and everybody has a deep connection to these Nah- nahs!

[@jimdev81]

Super, awesome, cool reaction…i started to put it together in my late teens that I recognized all these great tunes were by the same band…keep digging into more Beatles, you’ll rarely be disappointed!

[@robertmartin1807]

They’re the goat!! Fuk who ever says they’re overrated! You have to hear the entire catalog! They can sing just about anything, rock, folk, hard rock, ballads, you name it!! They had no weakness, they were the best in the music industry. No one even comes close. It’s almost unfair to say the least for other artist! Lol

[@ba2724]

The Beatles have given my ears everything they ever needed to hear. The greatest band ever.

[@charleskelly1887]

How lucky you are to be able to hear all this music for the first time. It took me seven years to hear it all.

[@hongfang2348]

Beatles had stopped touring by the time this song came out because their live shows were a circus with all the screaming. Beatles could not hear each other play their instruments. So they did their work inside a studio. Now and then, they would make a movie and interact with other people and then there's the video of Hey Jude where Beatles recorded it live, just the 4 of them but when the refrain came, suddenly lots of people stepped forward and sang the ' Na Na Na Na Na Na Na...Hey Jude' along with the Beatles.

[@mysterymac38]

They were almost killed in the Philippines for snubbing their first lady. That had the most effect on them. Also people were burning Beatles records in the US. They no longer wanted to be subjected to all the hate they were receiving at the time. So not hearing themselves was only a minor issue. Touring is a lot of work and it was no longer fun.

[@mysterymac38]

Here is link to the philippines experience that pretty much ended their touring. www.beatlesbible.com/1966/07/05/the-beatles-leave-the-philippines/

[@kellydelay18]

Old classic still great

[@erwinerwinson5941]

Let me guess, you have really big rocks there, wherever you live; to hide under? It is close to impossible that you never have heard this song before if you are older than 10 years. This song is often chosen as the greatest songs of all times, since more than 50 years.

[@christinedanser956]

How can anyone listen to a masterpiece "banger" like this, and there were plenty of them, and doubt the Beatles' rightful place as the GOAT

[@charlesking4780]

The Beatles are simply the best.😎

[@paulknight9998]

You do great reaction videos and deserve way more views.

[@helenjarvis7755]

If you were alive during the sixties you couldn't help reacting to the uniqueness of this band.

[@reinacarbetta388]

I love seeing people’s reaction when the “nah nah nahs” kick in and they realize they’ve heard the song lol

[@mikefetterman6782]

musically, Ringo was the most talented on his particular instrument. All of them could play the piano equally, as beginners and Three were intermediate guitar players. It was their song composition, melodies, harmonies, timing, and management with their production team that made them what they are. Many musicians reach their level of mastership of instruments easily, but their imagination is what made them unique.

[@robertsaul234]

I don't know if it's the greatest but it's my favorite song of all-time.

[@vincentvancraig]

Killer reaction , man.....do ur self a favor and watch the official vid where they do it live on some British tv show in 1968-it’s so damn epic--I won’t ruin it for you😘😘😘

[@debbiechang5781]

“For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder”. Genius lyrics from the beautiful soul of Paul McCartney with a little help from my hero, John Winston Lennon! It’s musical heaven and I was fortunate enough to grow up listening to their music starting at age ten and I haven’t stopped and never will. Please explore more of their catalogue. You will never be disappointed. Good luck with your channel. 🥰

[@jimfrederick3907]

No one can listen to this and not chime in with the most famous 11 syllables in music history!

[@gaizkasalazar6948]

By far!! Best musical Band!!!!

[@eduardooscar309]

What a great pleasure to see you for first time with a BEATLES song! "Hey Jude" (1968) is a universal classic, a popular anthem In my opinion it is the best BEATLES song and I am very happy that you enjoyed it I tell you that Paul McCartney always sings it in his recitals 50 years ago, and it is the moment when all the public joins in the song, without difference of religion, political, race And I had the immense joy of having seen him live on the field of play in his last visit to my country Argentina almost two years ago. I suggest that you look for the first BEATLES songs in the future, when BEATLEmania was born, example: "She loves you" (1963) it was the best-selling song in England in the entire 1960s: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWSTY558bbJ9Y6s And another request: please don't forget Swedish pop group ABBA they have a lot of great songs, they are as versatile as BEATLES I suggest the pop ballad "Chiquitita" when it premiered to benefit Unicef: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqTQlmmam5pratU I wish you a good week A cordial greeting from my city and country, Buenos Aires Argentina

[@elysehfm8797]

For a Beatles switch-up, how about "Tomorrow Never Knows?"

[@stephanielane1821]

Anyone who says the Beatles' are not all that, just doesn't get it.

[@margaretkichenama2040]

Enjoyed how you listened to the very end❤️❤️❤️❤️The Beatles!! More Please

[@blingblao16]

I LOVE seeing people discover the Beatles. Especially from one of her queen's men

[@GabrielSoares-lj9rv]

Yes they are!!! The Beatles are indeed the GREATEST band ever!!! No comparison!!! No other band/artist even play the same league. A galaxy apart!!! And, yes! Hey Jude, to me too, is the most beautiful (if not a technical composition portento "by the books") song ever!!! Never fails to make me emotional...

[@toejoe9105]

Beatles = GOAT. Undisputed Heavyweight Champions of the World.

[@DrVonChilla]

Anyone who thinks the Beatles are overrated is suffering from SEVERE DELUSION or have simply NEVER LISTENED to The Beatles.

[@renechateaubriand2645]

A hymn of Grief and Transcendence: In a typically monumental act of genius, the Beatles link the domestic drama of Julian Lennon's shock of his father's impending divorce with the trauma the then revolutionary Baby Boomer generation felt worldwide with the assassinations of MLK and then Kennedy, following one the heals of police brutality and violence against the Boomers protesting against racism, ecological destruction, the Vietnam War, militarism, and economic injustice. The song, of course, retains its transcendent power with the Beatles' suggesting community over isolation, collective hope over individual despair as the Beatles unite in the long fade out. Genius. Heartbreaking, tragic genius.

[@margaretkichenama2040]

Brilliant synopsis

[@deannabayless8025]

At the 2022 Glastonbury Festival, after the 80(!) year old Paul ended his 2 1/2 hour set with this song, the croud of around 120,000 kept singing the Na-Na-Nas at full volume for several minutes until Paul and the band came out for another 15 minutes. It still has that power.

[@dougsusie2319]

I love these people who don't get The Beatles because they feel that they're vastly overrated. People who feel this way are vastly overrated when it comes down to knowing anything about not just music in general but especially when it comes down to appreciating the greatest band in the history of recorded m in history. In just Lp sales alone they have sold more than 800 million albums 🌎🌍 wide and this from a band that split up 51 years ago. You can combine Elvis and Michael Jackson together and they don't even scratch the surface of The Beatles numbers. They have sold mon

[@dougsusie2319]

Sorry, cut myself off . Meant to say in the USA over 1.6 billion singles sold since 1964. One more here, as of September 2019 their song Here Comes The Sun written by George Harrison and off of their last Lp Abbey Road was the the most streamed song on Spotify with over 350 million streams and that was 50 years after they split up and it's currently up over 375 million streams. Check out Here Comes The Sun 2019 50th anniversary remix with video, it's amazing !

[@duff0120]

Something, is perhaps my fav. beatles song.

[@timholder6825]

Do another reaction to this, but of the live performance. It's beautiful the way the crowd/audience all comes in and surround the Beatles at the na, na na , nananana, bit. People of every creed and colour all singing along together with the Beatles on stage. Epitomises what the 60's and The Beatles were all about. A high water mark. Amazing performance and footage.

[@andyjacobs28]

The Beatles are the GOAT.

[@gaizkasalazar6948]

BEATLES!!!!!!!

[@natashka8880]

Overrated? Whoever said that to you is insane!

[@direnova6284]

The Beatles aren't even in my top 5 favourite bands but I still think they're the BEST band in history.

[@hongfang2348]

There were rock groups that had better musicians though not that many in the 60s. Great musicianship came forward more in 70s rock. What made the Beatles great, IMO, is that they had 3 outstanding songwriters, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. As such, you get lots of different musical styles in Beatles songs (depending on who wrote the song) and the songwriters pushed each other to do a song better than one from the other guy. Lennon and McCartney co-wrote some of the songs but that was mostly in the early years. By 1965 (or so) Lennon and McCartney were writing songs separately though they continued to credit both men on songs written by either one (for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me). For example, Hey Jude was written by Paul McCartney, but the writing credit is Lennon/McCartney. Same thing happened in reverse. A song written by Lennon would have Lennon/McCartney writing credit.

[@ripsaa2693]

React to the video .it's even better

[@jennifermartin7791]

This song is transcendent. Absolutely gorgeous, timeless, SO uplifting. Never heard anything better. I've always thought, if I die and hear music like this, I'll know I've arrived in Heaven.

[@davisworth5114]

watch the live version.

[@russelllane7551]

Watch the live performance

[@Nick-op4qs]

Hey Jord, like your reaction but you should watch The Beatles live version of Hey Jude - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5Cwm3anhtR_gqM take care, Nick ps There are no other bands like the Beatles.

[@spottss]

I prefer the David frost version. It’s much more captivating with the video.

[@thorbain8526]

It's amazing seeing people's faces light up when they realise that the "Na na na naaaa" song is Hey Jude by The Beatles

[@markallem1267]

All of their songs are at least good. Most of them are great. This one is imo the top of the list! World’s greatest sing-a-long of all time!

[@rickenbacker9]

Love that reaction!

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

great reaction... funny watching you stop @3:38 and point out that with the Beatles you don't know what to expect of them.. when those of us who know this song know what is coming @ 5:10!... the only thing better than listening to this song is watching them perform it live on the David Frost Show, which you should probably do

[@antonybrennan]

This is the best version, most people react to the television show version but on the single version Macca really cuts loose.

[@Ed7501]

NA NA NA NA HEY JUDE!!!

[@TheirFinestHour]

There has never been a better band. They changed the world.
