I've always thought that even in the innocent times of '63 didn't they think recording a song with the lyric: Don't ya know I mean boys, Well, I talk about boys, now, Aaahhh, boys, Well, I talk about boys, now, What a bundle of joy!
BEST: Please Please Me (for Lennon-McCartney), Twist & Shout (for a cover) WORST: If I _had_ to choose, I'd pick Anna. But I really do like them all.
I must admit I raised my eyebrow to learn that Ringo was singing about "Boys". However, it's possible when you listen to it that Ringo is just saying the obvious to his audience: "Boys (such as us, these prime examples right here), what a bundle of joy. (Get your Beatle today!)". So it wasn't so obviously strange or potentially gay-sounding when I finally heard it. However, I can see why the gay community embraced this album, because they can totally hear that song as applying to them. It's one of the delights of the Beatles; they appeal to everyone!
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison

Well, I'm sure they used different lyrics in their club performances.

Nope.
Best: I Saw Her Standing There I can't believe that most of the forum wouldn't vote for this. Still one of the greatest little pieces of r 'n' r ever made.
Worst: Anna (Go to him)
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
