Title: All Together Now
Post by: Normandie on September 05, 2022, 08:04:13 PM

I've always had a special fondness for this song. I can't explain why, in musical terms; it simply appeals to me. (And it's fun to sing along to.  ;)  )

So I was particularly irritated to see this Budweiser advertisement a minute ago. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I hate it when Beatles songs are used in commercials. I don't really have a big argument to back up this opinion, either; it's just how I feel.

OK, got my b****y moment over with; back to work for me.

Doesn't really bother me tbh.
A whole new generation of young people get to hear a Beatle song. It's a positive thing imo.

But I understand your feelings towards it.

I was thinking that, too, but—here's my pessimistic side coming out—how many young people will realize it's a Beatles song? Unless there is someone older, or simply someone with great taste in music, present, then I would imagine that they'd simply think "Oh, nice jingle."

True.
Now you've spoiled it for me  :-[ :-[ :'(

I can’t find the exact quote but Noel Gallagher once bagged peeps who panned this song for its slightness.

He said something like ‘mate, if I heard 40,000 football fans singing this like they do then I wouldn’t give a toss what people thought’
