Lies
« on: August 26, 2020, 07:27:55 PM »
Yes, I know it's not a Beatles song but the song, written by Beau Charles and Buddy Randell and performed by The Knickerbockers, is very Beatlesque.  "We desperately tried to write something that sounded like the British Invasion," said Knickerbockers member Beau Charles.  "We wrote 'Lies' in less than one half hour.  We demo-ed it in New York."  After a Jerry Fuller inspired re-arrangement, the track was recorded at Sunset Sound in West Hollywood.  The multi-track master was taken to Leon Russell's house in Hollywood Hills where he had a home studio.  The band recorded the vocals there and overdubbed a new guitar part that was recorded from a beat up old Fender guitar amp that gave the guitar sound a meaty, edgy feel.  This was the final result...

Upon hearing the song, John was reputed to have said to Paul “When did we record this? I don’t remember it.”


Now imagine, if you will, how The Beatles would have performed it...

Can see this song being a major influence on Tom Hanks when he wrote That Thing You Do

Right, Steve.  And he was influenced by A Hard Day's Night too...

I love that movie! The city where the guys were from, Erie, Pennsylvania, isn’t too far from here. They didn’t do any outside shots in the city but the talent show scenes were filmed at a college there, my niece’s alma mater. But I loved it even before I knew that.  ;)

Don, the fellow that posted that video of The Beatles "performing" Lies, did a brilliant job of editing all the Beatles clips he cited at the end of his video:

A Hard Day's Night  1964
Don't Let Me down  Deleted scene from A Hard Day's Night
The Beatles Down Under  1964
The Beatles Live Concert In Indianapolis  1964
