A Touch of Music

A few months ago, in a moment of pure selfishness, I bought myself an MP3 player. Probably ranks as the best toy I've ever bought.

Consequently, as an act of self indulgence, I thought I would introduce an occasion feature highlighting a song heard whilst it is set to random play.

Incidentally, if the player is full, and I do one song daily, we'll be done in about 27 years, by which time I'll be 70, and will probably have to have it turned up very loudly.

Our first song is - "Why Don't We Do It In The Road".

As the deal here is that I must have heard the song that day, it is, perhaps, a shame that it could not have been a higher profile song by the greatest band ever to hit the planet, but you have to deal with what you are given.

This song which appeared on The Beatles' White Album, is credited to Lennon/McCartney. In reality it is a Paul solo effort. Even the drums are his.

I seem to recollect that John said that this one of his favourite songs on the album (or at least favourite Paul song). He may have been joking, of course.

That being said, the vocal is good. It's not as twee as some of Paul's other contributions and it is short.
