Yes Kel they've been a duo since the late 70's when Dan left (now deceased), they had a young guy at the back who sang some of the harder ones.
Same America song 1975 and now, same guy singing (Gerry Beckley)

[Hello Goodbye]

For some reason they sang Eleanor Rigby

Well, they're Beatles fans.  Maybe they shoulda sang You're Gonna Lose That Girl, Kev...

Hit it!

Thats a great vid of America Baz (Lonely People) but Dan looked hugely overweight and kinda spaced out. 

anyway they certainly cant sing anymore

Today, in the Waycross, GA, Walmart, I heard "Do You Want To Know A Secret"

All these months later I also heard a Beatles song in Walmart: Matchbox.

Walmart certainly seems to be getting its musical act together; I heard "If I Fell" a few weeks back.

Oh, it was that 80's singer Tiffany. Still don't like it!

Ugh; I didn't realize she covered that. Did she ever do anything BUT covers? I still cringe when I hear her version of "I Think We're Alone Now."

Good. With our K-mart set to close I'll have give up my anti-Walmart ways. I'll say this for them; they ended my search for a yogurt I could stand. Noosa strawberry rhubarb yogurt is fantastic!

I started watching a comedy, Ghost Town, which came out about ten years ago. The opening credit scenes have I’m Looking Through You as the soundtrack. It’s really unusual to hear a full original Beatle song in a film. Best you usually get is a cover.

I suppose its an apt song for a film about Ghosts

^^^^^^^^

 

I actually did laugh out loud at that, which is good because I am headed (in the rain) out to Walmart. Ugh, Walmart on a weekend, aka purgatory. The laugh helped!

[KelMar]

You are a brave soul! It rained all day here today. Molly’s handling the cold quite well, except when it rains.

And that brought back memories of me walking around Walmart in Honolulu earlier this year, I spent an hour in there and came out with a tube of toothpaste.

I was in Officeworks yesterday and heard this version of Every Night, a version Ive always liked.

I hope Molly does OK this winter! Bear doesn't like rain, either, or the extreme winds.

[KelMar]

Thanks, Kathy. These little ones have it rough.

Thirty years ago, Raymond felt the same way about Kmart...

Yup, that pretty much sums up my own feelings about Walmart as well as Kmart. 

[blmeanie]

NPD, which reports consumer data, says in 2016 95% of U.S. consumers shopped either in store or online with Walmart.

The Honolulu one is a bit of a dump, I did like TJ Max in Seattle and bought 2 shirts (we have TK Max here in Oz)

[Normandie]

I heard "I Feel Fine" in the car yesterday after an annoying run-in with someone. Those harmonies—not just in this song, in many of them—never fail to make my heart soar.

Also, a couple of weeks ago my friends were having coffee in a coffee shop that's part of a supermarket. Over the sound of the TV news playing in the background and  the shriek of the baristas' machines and the drive-thru chatter, I heard "Love Me Do" playing over the supermarket's PA system. (None of my friends seemed to notice. Darn.) I was thinking that everyone here likely has a sensitive "Beatles ear" that picks up on their music even in the presence of competing sounds. 

[In My Life]

Yes, Kathy, that’s been my experience. There’s a restaurant just outside of town that’s quite large with high ceilings. The acoustics are terrible. When it’s busy it can be be hard to hear the conversation if there’s more than four people at the table. Once I thought I heard something familiar and by George it was George!

[Euan Buchan]

Can’t remember which tv advert it was but Come Together was on it.
