My mom used to sing this song to me all the time when I was really young
I think the Beatles are great but it has to be said. WTF?
Bizarre attempt at reggae.
Lets see how many people correct my minimal Spanish skills :D

The Best Band Ever...
Where did they come up with these lyrics ?? Pandora needs to find someone else to get their lyrics from . I have noticed that many songs are way off on the words.

Ok, but they have so much more better.
the Beatles were amazing loved them growing up in the 60s and 70s
Sorry, Rick, but there's just no acceptable reason for not enjoying the Beatles' music... I hate you. *kidding*
Life goes on and it keeps getting better and better....
Ok, don't hate me, but I never really cared much for Beatles music. BUT I just heard this, and I'll admit I kinda like this song. haha

Thanks Pandora! I needed that!
Thanks Pandora! I needed that!
someone i know said that this song was about some type of drugs
kellied
It's not about a drag queen-- in the recording session, Paul messed up on the lyrics and the other Beatles voted to keep it that way!
Gotta agree with Nicole. In the shower or anywhere else. :)
the white album is one of the best ever, truly!!!!
i wanna dance to this song! haha!
a great song to sing in ur shower or something. lol

Happiest song EVER.

Okay, I lied, thats "Good Day Sunshine".
I do wonder sometimes how my life will turn out. Oh well--we'll see. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on.
*sigh* the only Beatles song I can't stand. Oh well.
i was screwed, child of the 90s this always reminds me of that retard Corky... why in the world was this song licensed as the theme song for the sitcom 'life goes on'???? f-ck all. otherwise a good tune.
yayy07
