THE BEATLES - YESTERDAY | SO SHORT, YET SO POWERFUL!!! | FIRST TIME REACTION 

I read somewhere that there were around 500-600 documented covers. Is that true?

Another great Beatles cover is "joe cocker mad dogs and englishmen with a little help from my friends" Shame now it shows the video is blocked in my country.

@@willasacco9898 Guinness says 1.600 (not sure when that was), but now I am seeing 2,200 and some say over 3,000.

@@patrick1muldoon i have read 2200 but Paul Mac cartney said 3000

@@patrick1muldoon Wow - I guess I saw that number many years ago. Thanks for the correction. I wonder what song is the second most covered?

They were and are the greatest band of all time. Their music will never die.

I'm an old man in my 60's and I still have a Beatles haircut and I'm thrilled to hear that you too are a Beatles fan. You are so right about them. They are the best of all time.

@@BigfootAnthropologist My friends and I we all love The Beatles. I play guitar because of them, and with my friends we can spend many hours playing their music, from Please Please Me to my personal favorite Abbey Road. So much fun and uplifting.

@@alonyacar715 So good to hear. You're so right about their music being fun and uplifting. Abbey Road is also my favorite Beatle album. Peace and love to you and your friends!

@@BigfootAnthropologist Thank you very much! Peace and love!

We did, but it got blocked on our channel. It's on Patreon now :)

I hate that song tbh and im a Beatles fun. The obnoxious " nanana" is killing me and maybe Paul staring into my soul in the video left me with bad memories. Let it be, is by far superior.

Couldn't agree more!

Scrambled eggs. How I love my babies legs.

@@John_Locke_108 lol

Idk where the reply to me went but thank you for the compliment 🙂 and I do have a crush on Patrick lol

You got that right!

Yep. No debate.

There are candidates out there and it's still here.

@@shahaffiq5860 You're entitled too your opinion. I'm not interested in hearing about "Led Zeppelin" "Pink Floyd" "The Rolling Stones" or "Queen" All great bands but not these four guys. Are you aware that this song as of 2017 has been covered by more than 2,200 artist and I don't know what it's up to now and by many many miles the most covered song in history. That's not just some kind of genetic accident or something, it's because it's generational and loved by all age groups, that's what Beatles were and still are. The most beloved band in history and that's not because of hype or that people are stupid. They have sold more than 800 million albums worldwide as of 2014,who knows what it's up to now. They are still a top 3 to 5 selling band in the world every year. As you may be aware that vinyl is very big again. Guess who sold more than anyone in the US did last year, that would be The Beatles. Numbers and popularity alone say they are the greatest band ever. I would that you listen too every album, single and EP in chronological order and listen to the growth from their recording career from 63 to 69 and if you don't walk away saying "Greatest band ever" then maybe go to an ear doctor and get yours cleaned. 50/50 more like 99/01 dude. Although these debates are always subjective. Like the old saying goes "Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one" Have A Happy New Years and I have nothing more to say on this matter. I am way, way, way in the majority camp. 🎉☮️✌️💕

I don't want to look to sales, statistics or anything. They never wanted to be called "the greatest bands of all time". It's people who put that title to them.

@@shahaffiq5860 I don't know what galaxy you live in but here in the US along with all free nations in the world record sales and #1 hits are kind of a pretty big deal and barometer. People don't buy a bands music for as of tomorrow 58 years because it's some fad or cool too buy it. No, it's because they're the most beloved band in history and that's for a reason. No other band ever, had two guys named John Lennon and Paul McCartney, the most successful songwriting duo in the history of recorded music. When people who study music theory ( You know, people who actually know what they're talking about) are asked where The Beatles fit into music in the history of the western world. One name and one only comes up and that's Beethoven and they will often joke that The Beatles had a hell of a lot more catchier songs and a lot larger catalog of great music. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it brother ! Argue with them not me. Some people will tell you that ABBA is the greatest band ever. Please, What? I've never heard heard any of these aforementioned bands mentioned I the same breath as Beethoven, sorry that's a fact which is something that you seem too be very uncomfortable with, kinda like with religion. Logic, something religion has always been uncomfortable with. I've been listening too The Beatles since 1964 and sorry brother, and I've listened too a hell of a lot of music in my 63 years and there has been a lot of great music, just not on these guys level and I don't need numbers or stats too know what my ears are hearing. Like I said though, it's all subjective although most of the free world would tend too be in my favor and I don't know, it kinda helps the credibility along a little. Ya know?

Thank you! Will do!

Absolutely!

Paul woke up with the melody in the head, but had difficulties to find the words. When he woke up, the music came to him and he thought he heard this melody before, but finally he discovered that it was his song. He named the song scramble eggs, but changed the words in yesterday

@@lilianelucas8123 this was when he was living with Jane Ashers family

@@shanenolan8252 yes you are right and I heard he finished the song in Portugal, he was in a car with Jane Asher and went on holidays in one of the shadows guitarist ´s home.

@@lilianelucas8123 oh thanks liliane

I could not work out why this song was so familiar until my mother told me used to sing this song to me as a lullaby. Paul had obviously heard the same song as a young child as well. I can only remember the first two lines which were. Yesterday when we were young and gay All our troubles seemed so far away

Thank you Debi :)
