7 WORST Songs by The Beatles 

Good Night is like telling the listeners its ok now cuz Revolution 9 has ended lol

Why "Goodnight"? 😢 I love it, it's very soft and simple and it's a nice conclusion for such a chaotic album

I had no idea people disliked Yes It Is so much. It’s one of my favorites that didn’t make it on to any of their studio albums, it’s very sweet and calming.

COME ONNN WATERMELON GUY. GOODNIGHT IS SUCH A PERFECT ENDING FOR THE WHITE ALBUM NOOO (respect your opinion though lol)

The problem with revolution 9 is that it isn’t a song, it’s a compilation of sounds.

I’m so glad someone else’s favorite song on Pepper’s is Lovely Rita.

In my opinion Revolution 9 works in the sense that it represents the fullest extent of the lack of continuity the White Album has. I’ve heard the White album described in the past as three people each trying to steer the same boat as it drives head first into an Iceberg, and in that sense Revolution 9 is incredibly indicative of their artistic disagreements. Lennon and Yoko released a few albums around the same time period with the same Avant-garde mentality, and Paul and George reportedly didn’t want it on the album, which makes perfect sense seeing as Lennon probably would have cut a few Paul songs given the chance (and considering his later comments probably would have cut some of his own songs out). To criticize Revolution 9 for not being a Rock song on a “Rock album” misses the point imo. The White album is a “Rock album” in the loosest way, half of Paul’s songs on the album don’t even feature electric guitars. It conceptually relies on not being cohesive and a subtly disturbed undercurrent looming underneath. In this sense, Revolution 9 could be seen as the release of both tinge chaotic and disturbed tension built up over the album as the drastic tone and musical shifts between (and in some cases within) songs and the depressed and dark themes in songs like Long Long Long, Julia, Dear Prudence, Yer Blues, etc. release in an inexplicable avant- grade fiery explosion. Idk, maybe I’ve watched too many David Lynch movies or something, but that’s my impassioned defense of Revolution 9.

Hot take: Revolution 9 is the epitome of musical shitposting. Many people were pissed off by it, while some snobs spent too much time analyzing it. Its just a masterfully put-together work of trolling, and its just brilliant. The fact that its on the White Album makes it even more perfect

Oof, as someone who prides herself in having listened to The Beatles' whole discography, I completely forgot about Matchbox, and there're some songs which I remember as the "ones I always forget they exist", but Matchbox doesn't even get that honor. Also, I won't allow the Good Night slander, I love it.

I'm happy that Octopus Garden is not here. This song must to be protected

I don’t have the heart to skip Wild Honey Pie. After a long day, I sometimes just need a good laugh, and that’s what Wild Honey Pie gives. Great video by the way.

I personally love yes it is, the harmonies are amazing and the song is sad

Why some people don't like Good Night? C'mon!

I love Good Night, but I also think it’s very cool that most “least favorite Beatles song” lists have at least one song on them that provokes outrage. It shows how deep and consistently great the catalogue is.

6:50 I think that's a bad take because they literally have the heavy metal song Helter Skelter on the same album as the soft folky song Blackbird. White Album is known for having a variety of flavors musically.

I’m gonna be honest I love revolution 9 and good night. I love the way it ends the album. revolution 9 feels so dark and ominous yet goodnight feels so warm and pleasant. I think the two compliment each other super well just with how different they are. I also can appeciate the beatles for making such a bold move on the White album. I get why people aren’t into it but it’s genuinely one of my favorite endings to any album.

Came for the funny avatar, stayed for the 8 inch George joke. This is just some top notch quality editing, discussion and humour. Keep up the good work!

God somebody finally understands my feelings for Dizzy Miss Lizzy. I adore the song alone but... my god Help would be so much better if it just closed with Yesterday. It would be an unquestionable masterpiece, but now I have to think of the singular, bopping, yet strange inclusion at the end.

Revolution 9 fits the more open-minded and less defined flow and style of the white album. it's not supposed to be a pleasurable listening experience, more of an uncanny inclusion that defines the Beatles willingness to push expected musical and artistic boundaries as the absurdly famous band they were.

Revolution 9 and Wild Honey Pie I enjoy for the absurdness. I think the white album has perfect tracks.

I love YES IT IS. One of my favorite Beatles tracks. If you ever wanted to give it another chance, I'd recommend listening to the version on Beatles Anthology 2 because it shows the transition from the demo to the final version of the song in a way that represents what made early Beatles so great.

Goodnight is one of my absolute favorites, but I agree with all the other ones

Personally, I've always thought "Good Night" was creepy, but had it's own aura when put in context with the Charles Manson thing. I kind love the way it ends the album in that way, but also in the way I would assume John Lennon felt it should end the album

Wild Honey Pie is actually one of my favorite Beatles songs. It literally slapped me in my face on the first listen, and I couldn't help but love it for that.

I've always thought of Yes It Is as an underrated gem. I love the unique guitar sound they made with the volume pedal, almost sounds like some kind of wind instrument. Beautiful harmonies as usual, plus the lyrics are pretty mature for the period.

As someone MASSIVELY creeped out by Run For Your Life, I can certainly see where you're coming from, and agree with the points you made. Also, THANK YOU for not including Maxwell's Silver Hammer. As a theatre kid, I LOVE that song, and it has a similar feeling to songs like Everybody's Got The Right, Unworthy of Your Love, and The Ballad of Sara Berry, which are also dark, upbeat, AMAZING songs.

This video should be: THERE AREN'T ANY! *Video ends*

Great video! Worst Beatles songs are always bound to ruffle _someone's_ feathers, but I think you did a really good job with explaining your positions (and overall stellar editing and humor). I will defend Goodnight and Revolution 9, though, in saying that Revolution 9 works in its context in the white album, and Goodnight works in its context after Revolution 9. See, the white album is characterized by its chaos. No two songs are alike. I think of Back in the USSR (an amped-up '50s Classic Rock song about a Russian spy) transitioning into Dear Prudence (an introspective, sensitive acoustic tune), The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill (an annoyingly goofy satire) playing before While My Guitar Gently Weeps (a melody oozing with soul and passion), Helter Skelter (a painfully heavy metal song with screaming and intense percussion) transitioning into Long Long Long (a haunting, somber ballad about reconciliation with God), and Honey Pie (a cheery Vaudeville-inspired one-off) coming right before Savoy Truffle (a suave 60s jam with full-sounding saxophones and twangy guitars) as the most obvious back-to-back demonstrations of the album's extreme contrast. I also think that Wild Honey Pie works for this reason-- it's a silly interlude reminding the listener not to get too comfortable or take the album too seriously, but that's besides the point. It's an idiosyncratic, absurd, and random compilation of each Beatle's individual creative direction, interests, and most importantly, sound, from his own isolated corner; not working together, but against each other. Each song is its own self-contained story; a pitch, trying to sell you on John, Paul, George, or Ringo's unique vision that they want to convey. It's counter-intuitive, but that eclectic pattern actually gives the album continuity and a sense of flow. The album is the embodiment of the phrase "method to the madness." It also showcases the brilliance of the blank and now iconic cover: no expectations (no payoff), no way to constrain it conceptually, no way to pin it down. The lack of a theme _is_ the theme; the lack of cohesion _is_ what makes it cohesive. It's simply undefinable, and that's makes it such a great LP. With all this in mind, take everything I said about the album (chaotic, contrasting, idiosyncratic, random, working against itself) and pack into an eight minute and fifteen second cacophony, and what you get is Revolution 9. In other words, Revolution 9 is the culmination of everything the white album stands for. Goodnight is the falling action (Can You Take Me Back Where I Came From is also an ominous introduction from the tail-end of Cry Baby Cry). It's a soft, lush melody to wash down the track that preceded it as a heartfelt send-off. Those final two tracks condense and represent everything about the white album, and personally, it works to great effect in the same vein as all the other pairs.

Always like a Waterloo video before it comes out. This is the way.

Yes It Is is the prelude of all the beautiful Beatle harmonies from the latter years. Their vocals are much naked than in any singles they had. For people who love their voices, this is a nice opportunities. You don't lose anything for hearing this song.

The only Beatles song I can't stand is "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill". It's very repetitive and annoying,I swear it's the worst chorus in any Beatles song (But i really like that spanish guitar intro). It's one of the two songs I skip when listening to the white album, I also skip Revolution 9, I don't think it's a terrible track,but my god 8 minutes is too much.

i simultaneously do and dont understand the hate for revolution 9. like yeah it doesnt really fit with anything else the beatles did, and i dont find it especially pleasant to listen to but at the same time, the white album is already kind of all over the place, in a good way. id probably dislike it more if it was on any other album but the white album is definitely the most fitting, plus i appreciate the fact a band so popular released something so weird and avant garde. i also think good night is actually pretty good in the context of being the final track after revolution 9, i probably wouldnt often listen to it on its own, though.

I actually enjoy "Good Night" and "Wild Honey Pie." I think WHP is hilarious. But that was the right call on Revolution 9. I don't mind experimental music, but yeah, it's painfully out of place.

Totally disagree with revolution 9, that song is an avant-garde masterpiece that unfortunately not many Beatles fans recognise

I love all the Nintendo music you use. Probably the best way of avoiding copyright ever.

Thank you for putting my comment in the video. And I agree with you. I like dig it and Maggie May but there just short little ditties and not full fledged songs.

Hey I just discovered your channel, you're super underrated, Waterloo!! I love this video. Keep up the good work.

Revolution 9 is one of the absolute highlights of The White Album. Also - there's a great early version where it was just part of Revolution (hence the break into 1 & 9 eventually). I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's also hidden away on side 4, so if you don't like it then don't stick on side 4. Also in terms of "it's style", it's actually quite carefully boiled down, not as elongated and all encompassing, you can see that they've kinda "popped" up that kind of sound. The tracks that are "nothing" are the ones that are actually bad, stuff like Wild Honey Pie, Revolution 9 and Good Night all achieve exactly what they intend to.

I’m sick of this completely unwarranted Beatle’s for Sale hate! That album slaps! And people can never give specific songs and why they’re bad either.

"Sour milk sea" is definitely the one song that should have been included in the White Album. In fact I wonder why Georg Harrison did not put in on his "All things must pass" album. With a length of 3 LPs there should have been enough space for it.

Waterloo, playing the entirety of Yellow Submarine (w/ the exception of Hey Bulldog) isn’t a list.

3:18 lmfao 💀💀💀💀😭😭😭😭

YAY another waterloo video! :D been following your channel for over a year now, keeo up the great work mate

What do you mean by "Revolution 9 is bad"

I know that Hold me tight is considered bad in the beatles community but I kind of like it ! It has a nice energy to it

Honey Don't and Good Night are genuinely some of my favorite Beatles songs

In 2020 on a road trip before the pandemic, me and my Brother called Wild honey pie "The destruction Song" We would replay it the whole time, over and over, and laughed everytime. Now when i listen to it alone, it feels so sad as he just says "Yes, I remember it, go away."

I love “yes it is” and “goodnight”. “yes it is” gives me a vibe that I can't explain, I just love it, and “goodnight” relaxes me, Ringo's voice sounds so angelic there, and at the end where he whispers- it's so cute 💔

Number 9, number 9, number 9

I absolutely love goodnight. To me it’s such a soothing song and has really calmed me down when I’ve been extremely stressed out. Revolution 9 however…

I'm glad I was just watching some recently released album reviews (to choose one to listen to on my 'new music fridays' dinner) and came across this video (and your channel). so far I've watched this one and the pink floyd albums ranking, both of them are really nice and entertaining/funny. you just got yourself a new subscriber.

the intro killed meee xD cool vid thx waterloo (i am also from iowa c:)

My least favorite has to be “Within and Without You.” I hate the Sitar, and in my opinion this is the only song that keeps Sgt. Peppers from being a perfect album, and I hate it for that.

If you don't like Revolution 9 and Goodnight you don't understand the white album, for me, is one of the best álbum endings of their entire discography

Honestly, I can’t listen to Yesterday without listening to Dizzy Miss Lizzy right after. Of course Yesterday is what it should’ve ended on, but it wouldn’t have been the absolutely bonkers, in your face, Beatles thing to do.

Fun fact: I can play Revolution 9 on piano! You can do it too! Just smash your fingers all over the keys, say "number 9" repeatedly, and mix in some laughing and Yoko screams. Easy peasy! And it's sounds lovely and proffesional.

As a hardcore Beatles' fan (and an expert in all things rock and pop) from the early 50s, throughout the golden era, until the early 2,000s... I must say 🟥🟩🟨🟧☮️🟧🟨🟩🟥 Your analysis and ranking are both spot-on! 🍏👽💚 And "YES"... there truly are no BAD Beatle songs (but I still love these types of discussions) cause they had a few minor missteps in their incredibly magical career... so a "worst of list" is possible. But even their 12 worst songs ever {all featured on a single album} would be more listenable and enjoyable, than lots of other "actual" lps, from even the 60s. But especially when compared to today's music?

actually cant fathom how anyone could suggest lovely rita that song is perfection

I don't think Wild Honey Pie can be considered bad because the intention obviously was not to make a great song, but to have fun. The intention is always something very important to understand before saying a song is good or bad.

Honey Don’t is honestly one of the most underrated beatles songs by far. It slaps, Ringos vocals are on point, and the guitar is absolutely KILLER. It’s probably the most unfairly hated beatles song ever, and one of the most underrated with Its All Too Much.

Let's goooooooo

Do you have a twitter? I wanna make you fanart

Revolution 9 to Good Night is actually two of the best tracks off of White Album because it's such a funny and thus perfect ending. Like "Oh, here's 8 minutes of unnerving sound samples. Oh, you're still here? Here, a super cheesy faux-Disney lullaby sung by our drummer." Genius.

I love "Dizzy Miss Lizzy". One of my favourite covers of theirs.

If really, I don't think that Dizzy Miss Lizzy is the one of the worst songs. I explain that its a end of the "Help!" like this. Maybe in every Disney cartoon in end hero (or protagonist) just not really die but in scene it looks like he's "dead", and this is "Yesterday". Sad song. And later we see that the main protagonist is alive, plays "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" Or explain normal, its chaotic and I like this. Underrated rocky theme of the "Help!" Album. (Sorry for bad English, I am from Russia)

Dizzy miss Lizzy???? Bro the best song ever what u talking about

Did you know Beethoven utilized foreshadowing in the 9th symphony? At the opening of the final movement he re-caps the themes from each movement, he plays the theme of the movement you haven't heard yet!

Good Night is actually one of my favourite Beatles songs. I don’t really mind that the lyrics are corny it’s just so beautiful to me and so refreshing to hear after Revolution 9. Still, respect your opinion.

How did Mister Moonlight not make the list?

ONLY 1K SUBS? BRUH YOUR CONTENT IS LIKE IT COMES FROM A 100K+ RU-vidR YOURE GONNA GROW REALLY FUCKING FAST

I actually like dizzy miss lizzy, it feels like it's the credits music of the album

“Yes it is” is honestly a great song, I love it. And good night too, it’s wonderful

Where is EvErBoDy's tRyNInG tO BE mY bAbE from Beatles for sale?

Revolution 9 is so far ahead of its time that it is a miracle that it's on a prominent pop album at all. The dread terror it has is in such stark contrast to the warm, soaring strings and calm voice of Ringo in Goodnight that it's baffling. And one of the reasons the self titled is my favorite Beatles album

Revolution 9 scared me as a kid. It felt like it was forever. Then it bored me later on, now I just don’t care about it. But I do remember the times just being frightened hearing that out of nowhere tape loop of the loud marching band with the number 9 really loud out of nowhere it used to scare the shit out of me LOL

I’m surprised that so many people dislike “Only a northern song”. I actually like it from the slightly psychedelic perspective and a catchy tune.

In my opinion her majesty is bad because it fucks with the end being well, the end of abbey road

I swear, Waterloo is funniest guy on RU-vid

I gotta say I think Beatles for Sale has some of my least favorite Beatles songs on it. The only ones that get a pass for me on that album are eight days a week, words of love, and every little thing. The rest just don't have *it* .

Dizzy Miss Lizzy being at the end of Help was absolutely hilarious, especially after Yesterday

are you ever going to rank every queen album from worst to best?

I'm excited!!

Fixing a Hole is one of my favorite Beatles songs!

Glad I finally found someone else who appreciates lovely Rita

If Goodnight is a bad song, Then what should replace it?

The Beatles

Unrelated, but whats the background music in this scene here? 0:43

I love how you included Franky's Theme in a Beatles video. It fits so well 😆

Still amazing songs that I listen to almost everyday 🤷‍♂️

oh no... anxiously hoping one of my faves isnt on here

Man this editing is so well done

Three songs for the Beatles disposal are;"til there was you" "A taste of honey" "Yes it is"

1. Yesterday 2. Let It Be 3. In My Life 4. Help 5. Every Song From Abbey Road/Sgt. Pepper’s 6. Imagine 7. Wonderwall

This is hype af

I'm glad to see "What's The New Mary Jane" & "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" didn't make this list of worst Beatles songs 😂😂
