The No1 song in the US and the UK on this day, December 30th 1967, - TopicsExpress



          

The No1 song in the US and the UK on this day, December 30th 1967, was Hello, Goodbye by The Beatles from the album Magical Mystery Tour. Paul McCartney wrote this. His friend Alistair Taylor, who was visiting McCartney, asked Paul one day how he wrote his many songs, and how he came up with his ideas. Paul took him into his dining room to give him a demonstration of his hand-carved harmonium. As an experiment, Paul asked Taylor to shout out the opposite of whatever he sang, such as black and white, yes and no, hello and goodbye, etc. From this, the song was born. John Lennon hated the song. He viewed it as an inconsequential song of McCartneys, saying it was three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions. What further infuriated Lennon was that his I Am The Walrus, was issued as the B-side to McCartneys A-side Hello Goodbye. The Beatles made a music video for this, but at the time they were called promotional films. It was banned by the BBC because Paul was clearly lip-synching, which was against The British Musicians Unions rules. The ending where all The Beatles sing, Hela, hey, aloha, was improvised in the studio. This part plays over the end credits of the Magical Mystery Tour movie. Heres the anthology version of Hello, Goodbye along with the CGI Beatles of, Rock Band The Beatles....Enjoy!
