Wow and When

BEATLES time! When Paul and Ringo, the last two of the Fab Four, released their latest (and last?) Beatles single “Now and Then”— featuring the ghost of John Lennon on vocal— fanboys Mutte & Clive in realPfft felt inspired. Mutte composed his take on the Beatles’ music while Clive donned his bowler hat. Say wot?  

“Wow and When” follows the Liverpool lads from their early days playing the clubs and hawking their songs into the drug-fueled era of Sgt. Pepper, the yoga-influenced White Album and ending with the headaches and heartbreak during the documentary filming of the “Let It Be” album. As Paul said during the recording sessions, “It’s like ah’s. You’ll get it!”

Wow and When Lyrics

One, two, three, four

You’re listening to the World Service

The mayor is very excited to welcome the boys

They sing and they dance, fully clothed

That’s the way of it

Playing the cloob

Nyes, the boys… the band…

Fresh-faced boys playing music

Yes, that’s them. They’re clothed in suits

Stiff upper lip

They live on cheese butties and mustard bangers

Some say it’s rock & roll, others say it’s rhythm & blues

A fine line between the two

It’s dead easy, y’know. It’s like ah’s… You’ll get it

Not to worry, they’ll be toppermost of the poppermost

Sorry, ye cann go in thar, the fahr marshall says there’s 300 birds in the cloob

Hey, all!

Then they’re riding around in a Mick motorcar

Aye, ridin’ around in the van

Yes-s-s and why not?

Sorry, gulls, he’s no longer available

Yes, he’s all tied up in knots over tying the knot

Rooty tooty Judy

She says she doesn’t understand what they’re doing half the time

Swinging London

Say, wot?

Aye, Abbey Road forever!

I’ve got blisters on me fingers!
