When our son Walter isn't jamming on the drums to Abbey Road, he's strumming the uke to Rubber Soul. Walter even asks for "Beatles Bedtime Stories" which are stories we make up about the Beatles coming to our house to ask Walter to join the band and give them ideas for songs. Walter currently claims that he wrote "Day Tripper" and "Paperback Writer", not Lennon and McCartney. On a recent drive, I flipped through the Beatles' 1 Album, trying to get Walter to name as many Beatles' songs as he could, as fast as he could. This is what happened.
And a-one, two, three, four!
Fun facts: Right before "I Want To Hold Your Hand", Walter starts to say "Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand", which is the little-known German-language version of the song which he is also totally obsessed with. He also calls "I Feel Fine" by his preferred alternate title "Said So." (As in: "Baby's good to me, you know/She's happy as can be, you know/She SAID SO.")
