I don't know about McCartney sounding off key - he sounds like McCartney to me. It's the keys that caught my attention in Lennon's rendition. And Cheap Trick was just having a load of fun with the song. <br /><br />Man, where is everyone today? our numbers are few. We should recruit more participants :)<br /><br />~Mary<br /><br /><br />Mary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-59744879224138265472019-06-01T14:58:33.498-04:002019-06-01T14:58:33.498-04:00Thanks, Lee!Thanks, Lee!Mary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-12675007648832844812019-06-01T13:22:21.098-04:002019-06-01T13:22:21.098-04:00MMQE ~

Ain't no challengers to his "ownership" of this song here.<br /><br />Prior to listening to any of these recordings, I figured that my voting preference would most likely go in this order:<br /><br />1) Paul McCartney<br />2) Cheap Trick<br />3) John Lennon<br /><br />But after having listened to them all, I'm actually voting like this:<br /><br /><b>1) John Lennon</b><br />2) Cheap Trick<br />3) Paul McCartney<br /><br />I don't know what Paul was doing here but it was... not good. First, his voice didn't sound right. Ragged, off-note, off-key? I don't know, but he didn't sound to me like a professional singer. More like some dude who's had 3 too many Martinis on Karaoke night at the local dive. <br /><br />Cheap Trick... yeah, well, this became one of their signature songs during their heyday. But to me, it's just way too much excess. I know there's a song buried in there somewhere.<br /><br />John Lennon at least retained that old style Rock 'N' Roll sound. Piano and sax... good.<br /><br />And everyone should get right with God, because when you find me voting for John Lennon, it's a sure sign of the Apocalypse!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b>Stephen T.
