Last night I said these words

Three brothers covering "Please Please Me" on Aussie TV in 1963.

I've got something to say that might cause you pain

Y is for "You Can't Do That". I tried to find Nilsson's version (which is a total meta-Beatles bonanza) on youtube, and also found this clip of him performing the song (as in singing live in front of an audience, which he rarely did) at Beatlefest 1984.



There aren't any Z songs, so this is the final installment of my month of Beatles covers.

Nada en lo que pensar

X is for XTC, a band I covered a few months back. Here's Andy's version of "Strawberry Fields Forever".



A comment in the last "Stawberry Fields" post points to this version of "Strawberry Fields" (en Español) by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.



éjame llevarte hacia donde voy, Strawberry Fields
Nada es real, y nada en lo que pensar
Fresas colocas por siempre

Try to see it my way

W is for "We Can Work It Out" and Wonder (as in Little Stevie). Here's the latter covering the former.

Just like Sister Larry said (VU)

There aren't any Beatles' tracks for U or V, so as a place holder, here's the VU as rendered on the Lawrence Welk show.

Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream

T is for "Tomorrow Never Knows". I thought it would be interesting to put Phil Collins after Peter Gabriel (as I've done on Beatles covers through the years), but Phil's cover of "TMK" isn't on youtube.

Here's a version by Oasis (with Johnny Marr).



One of the youtube comments: "I hope the sheets in front of Noel aren't to remind him the.. two chords."

Let me take you down

S is for "Strawberry Fields Forever".

Here's Peter Gabriel's cover from the 1976 soundtrack to All This And World War II -- his first solo recording ever.
