    In my opinion this song encapsulates everything perfect about The Beatles - great playing/vocals/harmonies, fun lyrics and the signature "odd" instrument.

  • @tracyyork1428
    @tracyyork1428 Рік тому +26

    This was an example of John and Paul taking two incomplete song ideas and merging them together. The "How does it feel..." verses were written by Lennon, and the "Baby You're A Rich Man" chorus was contributed by McCartney.
    The odd sounding instrument used throughout the song is a keyboard instrument called a clavinet. It was sort of an early version of a synthesizer; Stevie Wonder played a clavinet on both "Superstition" and "Higher Ground".

      "This was an example of John and Paul taking two incomplete song ideas and merging them together." - They did that with 'A day in the life' off of Sgt. Peppers. Probably my all time favorite Beatle song.

    • @amb2745
      @amb2745 Рік тому +1

      It's a clavoline, not a clavinet. John played the clavoline on the song. Of note here is that Baby You're a Rich Man was the first song to be recorded outside of Abbey Road Studios. The song was recorded at Olympic Sound Studios in London.

    John always played with words, phrases and ideas. What he's really doing is talking to a rich man who has finally awakened to the social movement of the day and therefore, now rich in love and peace (the flower children, the hippies, the love within us).

    Johns verses are aimed at the social elite who have wealth and fame but no substance. Paul's chorus is a subtle jab at their manager Brian Epstein. The touring Beatles would get paid a flat fee. Bur Brian would also collect an off the books cash "gratuity' which would be paid and placed in the brown bag he carried to each concert. This cash was used for spreading around money for the Beatles and their road crew. John plays a Clavoline. It's the odd trumpet sounding instrument heard throughout the track. It's a keyboard that was the forerunner to the synthesizer. and can only play one note at a time. The song was recorded at Olympic Studios (who as it happened had a Clavoline on site) making it the first Beatles song to be completely recorded and mixed outside of EMI Studios. As the B side to All You Need Is Love, this marked the last time John would sing lead vocals on both sides of a Beatles single. Love your Beatles reactions JAYY!! Cheers, RNB

    This was the flip side of All you Need is Love in summer of 1967. But both tunes were included later on the USA version of Magical Mystery Tour, and NOT in the TV film of the same name... Same goes or the earlier Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever, and Hello Goodbye, which was the new single when the album and film came out...the film that the USA never saw until years later.

    Great analysis of the song, Jayy. The Beatles were so amazing as songwriters, that they could write songs that have several meanings, all of them possibly true. I'm hoping for two of the best from the Fab Four, "We Can Work It Out" and "Nowhere Man."

    Gotta do the next and last song on the album Jayy, "All You Need Is Love". A real Beatles classic that was played often on the radio back in the day. The song was played and broadcast on TV live around the world in 1967 (a first at the time), so after doing the audio track from the album search the web for the film of it. All You Need Is Love broadcast. It's out there somewhere. And Ringo's in it too!! 😁.... ✌😎

    The "beautiful people" are those who have had a psychedelic experience ... been to the ''beyond within". This song was written after Brian Epstein had taken LSD. Listen to the first part of the lyrics again ... they really make sense to those who have been there. However, the song is actually two songs about Brian joined into one ... the other half is about the money he made being the manager of one amazing group of musicians.

    Phat bass. Scratchy , syncopated guitars, drums on tha’ one: this is World Music funk of the sort that gave rise to Prince and Chic ten years later. Beatles doing this 1967. That’s how ahead of the game they were.
    And the social critique is pointed and drôle : skewering new wealth, money fetish, and even themselves as working-class kids suddenly wealthy beyond imagination. DIG IT!

      @montymason1647 10 місяців тому

      @@jamespenny9482 : Thank you for the kind words, but a corrective argument, with all due and real respect, is absolutely required: the Beatles were WOKE, and rightfully, righteously so: they were committed allies to BLM, environmentalism, anti-colonialism, veganism, and multiculturalism. Their oeuvre alone makes the irrefutable case: Blackbird, Mother Nature's Son, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, Piggies, Savoy Truffle, Within You and Without You, HELLO???
      The very fact that four White working-class kids were so deeply influenced by and worked so deeply in African-American, Indian, African, Caribbean, et al. genres of music is in itself multiculturalism defined, not to mention the Beatles' own most intimate choices of life partners (e.g., Lennon's Asian wife, the beauty-myth-challenging, avant-gardiste Yoko, Harrison's wife, Mexican-American immigrant daughter Olivia Trinidad Arias, etc.).
      A word about "WOKE" and the unabashed defense of it therein: the term dates back to the anti-slavery, proto-antiracism, and abolitionist movements on both sides of the Atlantic (France, Britain, USA) in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century: the iconic anti-slavery, anti-racism hymn, AMAZING GRACE, literally uses the metaphor of AWAKENING to injustice and complicity as means both to societal AND personal redemption.
      The term, "WOKE" retained this core meaning, i.e., "to AWAKEN" to the reality of injustice and the need to confront, grapple with, battle, and defeat it , throughout various iterations of successive civil rights eras since the abolition movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries; "WOKE" was the unifying theme of anti-Apartheid/anti-Jim Crow American civil rights movements throughout the first half of the twentieth century.
      By the 1960s, the then Left-leaning Boomers expanded the term "WOKE" to include "AWAKENING" to the evils of colonialism, White racism, imperialism, militarism, sexism, homophobia, and economic injustice, the false ideologies that undergirded Britain's racist and classist systems that led to Britain's oppression/ exploitation of India, Africa, Ireland, and the British (as opposed to ruling English) working-classes, and America's catastrophic imperialist adventure, the Vietnam War.
      TODAY, those who bandy about the term "woke" derisively and with contempt either know NOTHING of the term's lineage and its historical meanings...;OR, WORSE...those who deride the term "WOKE" do so precisely because it signifies a commitment to AWAKENING to and acting toward overcome racism, ecocide, militarism, imperialisms, and the like. The Right-wing SUPPORTS White racism, homophobia, xenophobia, militarism, murderous stupidity, classism: in their attacks on "woke," the Right-wing uses the power of government to BAN books, reimpose racist Jim Crow voter suppression, withdraw and isolate Britain into an English-only, English-imposed Britishness as opposed to the multicultural Albion it always was.
      Banning books? Reimposing the segregationist American system that the Beatles directly stood against from their EARLIEST tours? This would be anathema to the Beatles.
      Indeed, the Right-wing of their day--which the Beatles LOATHED and in turn the Right-wing loathed the Beatles right back to this very day--hates and holds the term "woke" with contempt PRECISELY because the Right-wing is at core racist, classist, ecocidalist, imperialist, sexist, and dedicated to militant, murderous stupidity.
      The ENTIRETY of the Beatles' oeuvre and style --the very music genres the Beatles' played is rooted in Black, Brown, and World music idioms; their very look --gender fluidity (long hair, the LGBTQ gender-coding clothes and cultural fluencies they learned and embraced from their Hamburg coterie of LGBTQ art milieu friends, fans, and followers, as evinced in their Edwardian clothes, fey mannerisms, masculinity-challenging stances, etc) ; the very themes of the Beatles' work --as the aforementioned list, but a partial enumeration of their most consequential songs, STATE upfront, without ambiguity, even militantly their WOKE beliefs -- make absolutely clear why the Right-wing so continue to loath the Beatles to this very day.
      Even the song over which we both express admiration -- the "scratchy" guitars and rumbling bass, the striking Middle-Eastern musical allusions, the soulified falsetto singing--this is proto-funk/World Music, WOKE to the nth degree. While the likes of the Zep and Purple in the same era were appropriating wholesale Black guitar blues and simultaneously stripping them of their Black rhythmic, cultural, and political meanings so as to appeal to White male notions and displays of musical "mastery" (in every racist, sexist sense of the word), on Baby You're a Rich Man, the Beatles take on an entirely opposite tack: LEANING INTO the funk, the rhythm, the groove, the gender-bending vocal, the One World immersion in the very music, while skewering White privilege in the hilariously on-point parody and satire of the lyric, right down to the Beatles' skewering their own newly "Beautiful People" status and selves.
      Baybee, that's genius of WOKE, and righteously so.
      Here, in this very song, early sixty phucken years before an Eminem could lay so real a claim as to have escaped the Elvis syndrome (take from the source, and deny, :"forget," and erase that source from the equation), the Beatles count themselves "OUT...IN" and lean into it: in doing so, they .laid the template nearly sixty years -- "All Those Years Ago" -- BEFORE everybody from Wu Tang Clan to Prince to Beyoncé could and do get experimental and multicultural in THEIR forays.
      In the parlance of the day: that be some SERIOUS WOKE to the Beatles' genius, and THAT is the key and core to their enduring power, artistically, culturally, stylistically, politically. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah: in response to that question you asked on that London rooftop jam in 1969: you boyz most certainly did "PASS THE AUDITION."
      I rest my case.
