Hey Jude - simple yet evocative lyrics, a melody you can hum along to till to you die, fantastic minimal production, the greatest singalong chorus of all time - pop/rock (with a little bit of gospel and blues) just doesn't get any better in my book.

AMEN!!!
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
If we don't like something should we just stay quiet about it?
Yes. You should be like Freemasons and homosexuals and keep your doings to yourself. A Beatle fan not liking Hey Jude is like a Christian thinking Jesus was a bit of a nob.
I Think she said that actually because i said that song was like a 'hymn'...Kevin, i agree and like that point you made about it having blues and gospel in it(this resonates in the chorus repeated at the end)-your right, at least it covers a lot of genres, which i respect/like about the song, but i'm really not into it. And i disagree with what you said 'A Beatle fan not liking Hey Jude is like a Christian thinking Jesus was a bit of a nob.', number one, because it's got nothing to do with any of the members in particular (i have nothing against paul),this is about his product, whereas you have said this in your quote about the christians...And my other point is are there any Beatles songs you don't like? are you suggesting that because i don't like a track, i am 'unfaithful' to the Beatles? Therefore you must like every beatles songs kevin, otherwise its like a christian thinking jesus was a nob.
Mull of Kintyre is a lovely little song, very simple & you can sing along to it, but i'm still baffled why it so sold so massive!
I'm shamed to say it, but probably bought by the same people who send Cliff Richard sailing to the top of the charts evry so often. They're like Yeti's and Bigfoot - you hear about them but never actually see one. The bagpipes are catchy and it's very "Auld lang sine (sp)" which appeals to people of a certain ilk.
Another Paul's attemp to compose a single ... and a good song ... it's funny how some songs are more on the radio depending of the country ... I've heard that Hope Of Deliverance was a great hit in some countries (even was one of the best selling records ever) and a failure in the others ...
'HOPE' SPRINGS ETERNAL 'Hope Of Deliverance' looks set to go down in history as Paul McCartney's best-selling single. The 1993 hit has sprung into the sales lead ahead of the 1977 Wings monsterselling 'Mull Of Kintyre' - with worldwide sales of 'Hope' now exceeding 4 million. Most of 'Hope's' sales were in Germany, where the single is the most airplayed song in history. http://wingspan.ru/magazines/cs/cs82anc/page02.html
I had no idea about 'Hope Of Deliverance' selling that much. I just remember when 'Off The Ground' came out and that was the single from it and it kind of died here shortly after (I like the song well enough), but then again, I live in America and sometimes we're really behind with the music scene.
I'm playing the hell out of "Mull of Kintyre," as this is the first year in my life I've heard the song. Whistling, singing, annoying friends and co-workers...you name it, I'm doing it with "Mull of Kintyre." Wonderful wonderful song. Macca had asked Lennon if he would join him on it, but Lennon refused.
