"Bad Boy" is the name of today's song. It's a Larry Williams cover, one of two on Beatles '65 that the guys made for a North American audience. It's a really fun rock and roll jam, and it sounds like the Beatles had a lot of fun playing it. :)
The lyrics are great--it's a story about a kid who loves rock and roll and seems to be a juvenile delinquent. He puts tacks on the teacher's chair, sticks gum in the hair of his female classmate, and spends every dime he gets on playing rock and roll in the jukebox. Some things are timeless, and that includes being a wild youth who loves loud, strange music and gives his mother grief. :P According to Rybaczewski on the song page for "Bad Boy" at BeatlesEBooks.com, "his rebellion even gets downright evil, feeding the canary 'to the neighbor's cat' and giving 'the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laudromat.'" Ruh-roh!
That's all for today--hope you had a great Fourth of July! :) See you guys tomorrow!
