Dr Who: Rock Producer
May 28th 2008 01:06
This week, Dr Who is travelling back to 1966 to help out The Beatles.
To Do List:
1. Exterminate kiddie crap
Is ‘Yellow Submarine’ really necessary, guys? Will we really need ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’, ‘Octopus’s Garden’, ‘Lovely Rita’, ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’, ‘Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da’ et al?
2. Just a thought: how about putting good songs on the albums instead of crap songs?
Hey, John and Paul, ever heard of editing? Do we really need all that guff that accompanies the gems? And don’t tell me the world’s biggest band doesn’t have any leverage when it comes to setting release dates!
Your album is only 34 minutes long: how about including ‘Day Tripper’, ‘We Can Work it Out’, ‘Paperback Writer’ and ‘Rain’? Hmm?
For future reference, how about putting ‘Lady Madonna’ and ‘Inner Light’ on the White Album instead of ‘Honey Pie’ and ‘Long, Long, Long’?
3. Exterminate Ringo’s vocal chords
Nuff said.
4. Hint: stop releasing albums without singles on them!
It’s not like Bob Dylan or The Stones release all their albums without the singles. And don’t tell me the singles don’t sit within the cohesive vision of the albums. I’ve heard the singles and albums: it all fits. Oh, yeah, and maybe take the hint from Capitol Records when they release Magical Mystery Tour as an actual album instead of a trail of vinyl debris.
5. Love? Love? Love? Puh-lease make it stop!
‘Here, There and Everywhere’?! What the hell is wrong with you people? Does ‘Eleanor Rigby’ mention peace and love? Does ‘Taxman’? Does ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’? Can you imagine these songs being better for having mundane pop lyrics? Jesus, leave the unimaginative guff to The Supremes, would you?
Otherwise, good show, chaps. As you were.
I, too, am the eggman. Let us go together and get some water, and some Burger Rings, and maybe watch some Matrix...

The album that never should have been.
