They're stoned.
Great point, lol.
I would say bored aping for a “music video” (of the time). One of their simplest (lamest) songs to boot. Done for the money and pretty pedestrian after all their work on Sgt. Pepper earlier in that year.

Correction: “dilated”
Could be it was the Nth take of lipsync and they were tired of it.
I mean plus being stoned off their zonkas.
That’s hilarious. They had to be totally oblivious to the meaning of the lyrics. When I heard the male was Dick Dale, I thought it was really going to be a shocker
I wasn't suggesting that they did nothing worthwhile thereafter.Sgt Peppers was excellent,the White Album had several great songs...same with Abbey Road.
“I just like do drive down the road singing off key at the top of my lungs. :)”
That’s great! Music is meant to do many things; simple enjoyment is probably the most important! But there is music that challenges the mind too. I have worn out three LPs of ELectronic Music from Columbia/Princeton/ My friends can’t handle it at all, and some are downright frightened by it! I abdo-lutely adore it!
The Girl That I love--The Beatles, 1965
“I never have a clue about what lyrics mean. I don’t digest music that way. I hear music as a whole, not separate parts.”
That was an amazing analysis. I too “suffer” from that same malady but never was able to put it in context as you just have. With many songs I listen to, the words have little or no meaning but they just sound good. What are your thoughts on exceptionally vocally talented artists such as Sinatra?
I have a very good friend that is a composer (primarily classical). His music always makes me think. His last compositions have been recorded by a company that uses “electronic music”. It sounds like a full orchestra. Completely amazing.
Really? They did drugs? Who knew?
“What are your thoughts on exceptionally vocally talented artists such as Sinatra?”
Ah! Another very good question!
I like Sinatra. Dean Martin even more, but I think a lot of that was because of his delightful personality. I’m a huge Mill’s Brothers fan. But that era of music was a bit different. Although the musical arrangements may have seemed sometimes complex, they really weren’t. The arrangements were designed to put the vocalist WAY out front. I grew up listening to these guys. Sinatra’s phrasing, and interesting voice, Dean’s just plain fun approach, and the Mills Bros harmony. But I was a piano Boogie Woogie baby! My Mom would put me in the playpen, and I would shake the bars and scream “Music, Music”. My Mom told me that was the third word that I learned after Mamma and Dadda. The only way she could shut me up was to put on a stack of Boogie Woogie 78s by Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, and Meade Lux Lewis. She’d just keep turning the stack over to keep me quiet and entertained. Musical mind. Can’t explain it, though I try. It’s funny,,,, as a guitarist, people ask me who my favorite musician is, and when I tell them Albert Ammons, they’re clueless!

You’d have to get me stoned to wear one of those fruity outfits.
“.it is probably a precursor to the more current synthesizers, etc.?”
All they had were the first very, very basic first synthesis. Much more tone generators and tape manipulation,
Here is my favorite Classical electronic composition, by my favorite composer; This is the piece that scared my friends! I abdo-lutely love it!;

LOLOL. Brewer and Shipley were on Nixon’s enemies list and it ends up on Lawrence Welk.

that is just too funny
I will certainly check those out. I grew up with a father into Sinatra, Nat Cole and the Mills Brothers. My mother loved/loves Dean Martin. Looking forward to checking out your links.
