The Beatles it seems were growing up!īut of course being a great fan of the Carpenters, I will have to include their version which was originally recorded in 1969 but then re-recorded for their first Greatest Hits album in 1973. The song was recorded in London for the album “Help!” and it marked a progression in their work relative to previous releases. It similarly topped the charts in many other parts of the world.
1 hit in the UK and their third consecutive No. Released as a single in April 1965, it became the Beatles’ seventh consecutive No. I am not going to insult anyone’s intelligence by explaining who the Beatles were so we’ll stick to the song. All the snow scenes were cos the lads wanted a holiday, they were fed up working.” We just took it all very lightly, we had a laugh, and in the snow. “It was good to make Help! and it’s a nice film. The Beatles were dressed in those iconic outfits, black against the white snow, complete with top hats, cape-like jackets and “bunnets”. I always loved the snow scenes in that film and of course that was also when the song Ticket to Ride was included, to accompany their “madcap” antics. Obertauern in Austria where the Beatles filmed Help! Over 50 years later and it seems that it’s still the resort’s main claim to fame, as the pictures below show. Turns out they had visited Obertauern in Austria, which is where they filmed those very snowy segments for the Beatles film Help!. Our “across the road neighbours” got back from their skiing holiday this week and sent me a few of the shots they had taken there.
Considering the childish badinage that has taken place between some of our world leaders of late (who really should know better), this was a wonderful sight – The power of sport in bringing people together toward a common goal.īut here are the pictures that have inspired today’s song choice. Athletes from the North and South walked into the stadium together, dressed in identical “cosy” outfits behind a unifying blue and white flag. I can hardly believe however that there is to be a joint Team Korea at these games. A spectacle of a show as expected with technology playing a large part in the proceedings. Yesterday morning we had the Opening Ceremony for the 2018 Winter Olympics which are taking place this time in South Korea. It’s been a really cold one and although we’ve avoided snowfall in our neck of the woods, I know that many other parts of the country have had a fair bit – Beautiful if falling in remote scenic places but a bit of a pain if you have to dig your car out for the commute to work. Well, this post has come about because of the plethora of snow images that seem to have come my way this week.
