Miscellaneous info:

Note:   In the transcription of the chorus, the moving parallel thirds
        on the 2nd and 3rd strings are the piano part, presented for
        information and completeness.  I don't mean to suggest that 
        both parts be played by one guitarist (certainly not when it 
        gets to the [35576-]).

The Beatles 'Love' - Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing
Montage - since i've been revisiting the beatles again recently, a friend asked if i had gotten the CD 'love' that just came out about a week ago. nope. so today while i was out doing the usual shopping thing, i picked up a copy. my take on the CD? not bad, at least its tastefully done for the most part - but really, its the kind of stuff me or other beatles freaks that have the ability to mix could have done, given all the necessary stuff to do it. certainly nothing against george martin or his son - we know they have the right stuff, and its been proven over the years. really - its just another way to compile and make the old into new again, looking for another market and hopefully juice some more bucks out of us. could any seasoned dj or studio engineer with the right equipment have done this type of thing? you betcha! :) i'm not here for a debate. its just my 2 cents. heh. everyone is entitled to their opinions, and please do share them. that's what this forum is all about, thank goodness :)

The Beatles - Drive My Car
The Beatles - Drive My Car Copyright - 1965 EMI Records Ltd. "Drive My Car" is a song written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon and first released by The Beatles on the UK version of the 1965 album Rubber Soul; it also appeared in the US on the Yesterday and Today collection. The opening track for both albums, it is the second written of the album's "comedy numbers," (the first being "Norwegian Wood") as McCartney referred to it in Melody Maker two days after its recording. Lyrics The song's male narrator is told by a woman that she's going to be a famous movie star, and she offers him the opportunity to be her chauffeur, adding "and maybe I'll love you." When he objects that his "prospects are good", she retorts that "working for peanuts is all very fine/but I can show you a better time." When he agrees to her proposal, she admits that she doesn't have a car, "but [she's] found a driver and that's a start." According to McCartney, "'Drive my car' was an old blues euphemism for sex". Composition When McCartney arrived at Lennon's Weybridge home for a writing session, he had the tune in his head, but "The lyrics were disastrous, and I knew it." The chorus began, "You can buy me diamond rings", a hackneyed phrase with diamond rings having already been referenced twice before in "Can't Buy Me Love" and "I Feel Fine". Lennon dismissed the lyrics as "crap" and "too soft". They decided to rewrite the lyrics and after some difficulty—McCartney said it was "one of the stickiest" writing sessions—they settled on the "drive my car" theme (which Bob Spitz credits to Lennon) and the rest of the lyrics flowed easily from that. Recording "Drive My Car" was recorded at Abbey Road Studios on 13 October 1965 in the Beatles' first recording session to extend past midnight. McCartney, working closely with George Harrison, laid down the basic rhythm track, doubling similar riffing lines on bass and low guitar, as per Harrison's suggestion. Harrison had been listening to Otis Redding's "Respect" at the time and, as a result of its influence, "Drive My Car" has more bottom than any previous Beatles recording, mimicking the bass-heavy sound generated in Redding's Memphis studio. (Often regarded as its sister track, "Day Tripper" was cut by Redding himself, up-tempo, for the Stax Records in 1967.) McCartney played the lead guitar solo, although Harrison composed the guitar riff which underpins the verses. McCartney doubled this figure an octave lower on the bass. Lyrics: Asked a girl what she wanted to be She said "baby can't you see I wanna be famous, a star of the screen But you do something in between" "Baby, you can drive my car yes, I'm gonna be a star Baby you can drive my car And maybe I'll love you" I told that girl that my prospects were good And she said "baby it's understood Working for peanuts is all very fine But I can show you a better time" "Baby, you can drive my car yes, I'm gonna be a star Baby you can drive my car And maybe I'll love you" Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah "Baby, you can drive my car yes, I'm gonna be a star Baby you can drive my car And maybe I'll love you" I told that girl I could start right away And she said "listen baby I've got something to say I got no car and it's breaking my heart But I've found a driver and that's a start" "Baby, you can drive my car yes, I'm gonna be a star Baby you can drive my car And maybe I'll love you" Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah Beep beep mm beep beep, yeah
