dEFROG ON 45 #41: BETTER GET YR RIPPLE SOLES OUT

[defrog]

Continuing on the “solo Beatles on 45” riff … now that we’ve done Ringo, Paul and George, this is the part where I share the John Lennon 45 in my collection.

Only I don’t have one.

Seriously.

Well, look, it’s not my fault he didn’t release any songs when I was old enough to start buying records. And I liked Double Fantasy, but I got the album, so I didn’t need any 45s.

So here’s the other Ringo Starr single I have.

Well, why not? People always put Ringo down as the one who couldn’t sing – or when he did, sang silly songs about octopus gardens and submarines.

But I like a lot of Ringo’s Beatles songs. And I like this song as well. It’s got a message I can relate to (Feeling down? Play some rock music and let go, that’ll cheer you right up) and some great horn-section fills.

Respect.

Wash it down with cool clear soul,
