The Beatles Necktie - My Favorite Tie Today

The Beatles White Album Tie

My favorite Beatles tie is The White Album Tie partly because my favorite Beatles Song is Revolution.  

Revolution was written by John Lennon in 1968 in two versions; a hard rock version which was released on the B side of the single Hey Jude, and as a slower blues version titled Revolution 1.  The slower version of Revolution was released on the Double Album - commonly known as The White Album.  A third version  Revolution 9 was also included on the White Album.

Hey Jude - Revolution 

Inspired by the Vietnam War political protests which apparently Lennon saw with some doubt as expressed in his lyrics, "But when you talk about destruction, Don't you know that you can count me out."  A Revolution video was broadcast by the BBC on Sept.19 1968 - about a month later on Oct.13 Revolution was broadcast on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.

The Beatles Revolution

You say you want a revolution

Well, you know We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution

Well, you know We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction

Don't you know that you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be all right?

All right, all right

You say you got a real solution

Well, you know

We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well, you know

We're all doing what we can

But if you want money

For people with minds that hate

All I can tell is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be all right?

All right, all right

You say you'll change the constitution

Well, you know

We all want to change your head

You tell me it's the institution

Well, you know

You better free you mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao

You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be all right?

All right, all right!

All right, all right, all right!

All right, all right, all right!

All right, all right!
