a Beatle song is only as "obscure" as one's knowledge of the Beatles. if you grew up in the era and were a big fan, for life, you know every song, and more
I'm 44 and discovered them when I was 9. I literally know all their songs and songs they wrote for other people. You didn't necessarily have to be there to know but it would have been cool to hear the songs fresh as they released them
Fixing a Hole is a perfect example of a Beatles track that, as a stand alone track, may not be a classic but makes perfect sense as a greater than the sum of its parts Sgt Pepper contribution.With added George Martin magic sparkle.
Great album! Geoff Emerick, Phil McDonald and Richard Lush were the recording engineers for this wonderful masterpiece winner of 11 Platinum Certifications for selling over 11 million copies! Please react to more Beatles songs.
Kudos that you are able get her to sit long enough to listen to music from back then ~ Faith my oldest Great Granddaughter is her age ~ other then video games she would rather be outside
I am a music/piano teacher. I was born in 1956. I shared a bedroom with my older sister, who played early rock and roll on the radio and record player. Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Bill Haley and his Comets, Big Bopper, etc. Your daughter is at the age where many of us fell in love with rock and roll. If you want her to have a forever love of rock music, you should offer it to her in a more chronological order.Start with earlier 60’s music, which is not as sophisticated as Sgt Peppers. Go to the late 50’s or even 1962 or 1963 top Billboard songs…Pre-Beatles. Beach Boys, Surfin’ USA; Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Sherrie or Walk Like a Man; The Chiffons, He’s So Fine; Leslie Gore, It’s My Party; etc. Play that music first. The songs are very catchy, and simple lyrics that she can understand and will want to hear again. Easy to sing along with. Put that early stuff on the radio every time you get in the car. Then move up to 1964 when the Beatles took America by storm…early Beatles like I Wanna Hold Your Hand, I Saw Her Standing There, She Loves You, This Boy, etc. All the rock music was getting really good by then…still very catchy tunes…Herman’s Hermits, the Turtles, Spanky and Our Gang, Motown bands like the Supremes, the Temptations, Four Tops, etc. Don’t get her into the psychedelic music quite yet….build up to that over time. That music is drug music and it offers deep thinking lyrics. She’s not ready for that yet. But the early stuff, those lyrics will open her mind and give her visual emotional storylines. Play these tunes over and over so she learns the lyrics. Then…Keep moving up… to 1965 hits. Now it’s getting interesting! Beatles Rubber Soul album came out end of ‘65. By ‘66, Beatles Revolver was released and the first psychedelic song was on that album. Whatever the Beatles did in those early days, all the bands followed their lead. So all the music was real good now. Anyway, you get the idea. I have 3 kids, all adults now. I played early rock when they were your daughter’s age and introduced it this way. They all know all this music from the late 50’s through the 80’s, very well, and they LOVE IT ALL! Their own era of music was 90’s music and on…they are able to see the evolution of rock music this way. They are all musicians. They are not all making a living at it, but they could. I started them all on piano at age 5. I didn’t really give them a choice. To me, it’s like teaching kids how to read or do math. Just something they need to learn. But they all play multiple instruments, now. They picked up guitars and drums in their teens. They all sing. Two of them were choir students. One was in band. My daughter has been an elementary music teacher at a Fine Arts charter school for 10 years now.
She has already heard the early Bealtes songs on her own, the point of these videos is so she can hear Beatles songs that she's never heard before. I have to pick more obscure ones because she's already a big fan!
If you want non-Beatles songs to react to I would suggest "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (Procol Harum), "Daydream Believer" (The Monkees) and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (Simon & Garfunkel). These were songs I really liked when I was about your daughter's age growing up in the sixties. 😀
I am willing to bet ~ like me, my siblings ~& everyone I ever meet from my generation ~ which I am sure includes your Father remembered where he was & what he was doing the first time we saw The Beatles perform live in America on the Ed Sullivan Show ~ it the biggest event ever ~ 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' was an instant game changer if you can get around YT blocks you should post it & react
Pro tip: When trying to introduce someone to music YOU like, opt for the more popular tunes at first and save the more eclectic stuff for later, after they’ve had a chance to get the feel of what the group is all about. Unsurprisingly the girl was not especially ‘struck’ by “Fixing a Hole” and I can hardly blame her.
The problem is I was having trouble finding Beatles songs that she hadn't heard because she recently got into them on her own and has been listening to them a lot on her own time, so I had to pick an obscure one for it to be a true first reaction video. Now we've moved on to other bands. It's hard being the kid of a musician and trying to find music you haven't heard yet haha
Maybe try "All My Loving", ""I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "Twist And Shout" by the Beatles. Or "California Dreaming" by The Mommas And The Pappas. Anything from the top 50 of late 60's - early 70's should be great.
She's heard most of the early stuff! She discovered the Beatles on her own so I just have to find songs she can react to :) we are going to listen to some Rubber Soul next!
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 It's on "The Beatles" aka "White Album" which is not an obscure Beatles LP, and "Revolution 9" has been much commented on through the decades. In the US EVERY track on EVERY LP was played on AM Top 40 radio, the result being that the LPs typically hit #1 on BOTH LP and SINGLES charts, and beginning in 1967-68 on FM radio. NO "Beatles" song is "obscure" -- except to later generations who don't know those facts and the history.
@@jnagarya519 Ja... But I am European and as Europeans (like the guys themselves), we often have a different view of things. And I have only had this album for 46 years. And when it comes to music, if I were you, I would be a little more reserved and not so America-centric. After all, there are 120 million more people living in the EU alone than in the USA. And that doesn't include the Swiss, Norwegians or the more than 60 million Brits, not to mention the others...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 So you're Euro-centric. And "The Beatles" didn't complain about the royalties they got from the US as result of a single being a hit, and then being included for a second round of royalties on an LP. I'm simply stating facts that actually happened in the US. I am not claiming that Liverpool is located in the US. As concerns "The Beatles" aka the "White Album": every weekday night during the two weeks before its release, a local FM station played the entire LP, all four sides, without any commercial interruptions -- only a statement by the DJ when changing sides. Then after that, and during those weekends, everything on the LP was played at random, mixed in with all prior "Beatles" tracks. "The Beatles," from Liverpool, in the UK, were that massively dominant -- at least in the US. I bought the album during the first day or two of its first being released on November 22, 1968. That's how it was done in my locale within the US. It would be at least difficult if not impossible to comment on any "-centric" I didn't and haven't experienced.
@@jnagarya519 Well... I didn't have the chance, to buy the album in 1968, cause i was a toddler at that time. But I got from you a few new information, which I'm grateful for! And about Euro-zentric... Usually, Americans are so busy with themselves that they don't notice others at all. But isn't it generally the case that the majority is the yardstick? And we in Europe are significantly more numerous than you, even if you add the Canadians to the mix, which the Canadians would certainly not find cool...

Very fun to watch you introducing your daughter to this epic band. And I loved her concise assessment ... "another masterpiece." Too cool. 😁✌️

Soon, it will be time to get the kid her own Rickenbacker 4001 bass guitar. :)
Los Beatles....los Mejores !!!!
Maybe she'd like "Octopus's Garden"and "Maxwell's silver hammer"?

@@TwiggyKeely pleasant valley sunday!
Have a listen to, "Yesterday".
If you do any Jefferson Airplane, "Lather" should be towards the top of the list!
We'll check that out next!💙
Thx y’all! Such a melody! Have you heard of a singer named Keely Smith? She was great! Peace n love!

I never heard this song and I'm over 50 years older than you guys. My suggestion is 96 Tears.

Oh I love the Mamas and Papas! I'll put them on the list!
She would enjoy a reaction to Gabriela Bee Ob-la-di-Ob-la-da. If she hadn't already seen it.
"Closer to the Heart" by Rush might be a good one.
This is just a minor Beatles song. That's why they're so special. They have another 140 or more songs superior to this one, as good as this one is.
Please react to Abbey Road album!
Good choice, sweetie.
I wish you rainbows, ladies.
Give " Something In The Air, " by Thunderclap Newman, from 1967 a listen.
The year was 1969, not 67
