Today's song is the Beatles ode to the meter maid (or, parking attendant as we say these days), "Lovely Rita". It was written and sung by Paul, who was inspired to write it after receiving a ticket from a parking attendant outside of Abbey Road Studios. Interestingly, Wikipedia tells us that "Pink Floyd watched The Beatles recording 'Lovely Rita'. It is rumoured that "Lovely Rita" influenced the song 'Pow R. Toc H.' found on their first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn."
This song's pretty good. I like the weird sounds (which the guys made by wrapping combs in toilet paper and blew through to mimic a kazoo), and the lyrics made me laugh. :) Overall not too bad!
That's all for today... see you tomorrow. :)
