Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace

O is for "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da". Here's the hit version recorded by Marmalade just a few months after the original came out



"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" was voted the worst song of all time in a BBC online poll, but I've always liked it. There's a famous Malay folk song called "Rasa Sayang" that has a similar melody, and I always wonder if Paul had heard "Rasa Sayang" before he wrote "Ob-La-Di.."
