A Day in the Life
I cracked a slab today, oh boy
To free a lucky man who made the grade Although the grade was really poor Well I just had to laugh I'd seen the photograph Paper loss and creases through his head No one noticed that the whites had changed A crowd of people stood and stared They'd seen his face before Nobody was really sure if it was Harry Lord. I won a card today, oh boy My snipe did win the Ebay bidding war A crowd of bidders walked away. But then I took a look, the seller was indeed a crook I'd love to turn him in. Woke up, fell out of bed Soon the Web, filled my head Found my way to 54 and drank a cup And looking up, I saw a new post Cobb Bat Off, gotta have that Sent a PM in seconds flat No response, I had a smoke When the seller spoke, I went into a dream Ah I sold a card today, oh boy Four thousand holes in Blackburne's chest and though the holes were rather small the buyer had to count them all Now we know how many holes it takes to fill a Neal Ball I'd love to turn him in. |
I suddenly have an urge to put on some paisley and listen to The "Beaters" on vinyl:D
|
Brilliant!!!
|
Instant Classic!!! Bravo!!!
|
Awesome
|
Well done!

To have time in a day in my life
I wish I had time to be so creative, but even if I did, it still probably wouldn't have come out as well...nice job Frank.

I wonder if Frank wrote that by himself, or with a little help from his friends.
|
I loved it Frank. It's already at the top of the Net54 Charts.
|
Backmasking??
Very clever Frank. If We read it backwards what message would we hear? Perhaps something like, "Honus met a mohel...Honus met a mohel".
|
Bravo!!!
|
I am working on a Jefferson Airplane-inspired ode to PSA.... "Plastic Fantastic Cover". That may have buzzed by some of the younger board members.:D
|
Surrealistic Pillow and After Bathing at Baxter's are two of my favorite albums.

Never a Tuna fan, but the Airplane were just about my all time favorite band. Unfortunately, they were short lived.

Barry,
Not to completely hi-jack Frank's thread but...here are a couple of my wallpapers here at work.... Attachment 102692 Attachment 102693 Attachment 102694 |
Well done!
|
Beatles Guy approved :)
|
Love that Airplane photo. And Starship was not a good band, even Grace Slick said she hated it. But they had some hit songs.

Information for Gen X, Y & Z and millenials
A Day in the Life was the last track on the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Album. The Baby Boomers obviously know that. The Jefferson Airplane was too high and missed the runway. That led Zeppelin to form a band. The Jackson 5 was not a basketball team. Ultimately all were consumed by the Disco Inferno, then we all realized that we really needed the funk.

From one cheesehead to another, bravo!
|
that was awesome frank, BUT I have just 1 question.....
"Found my way to 54 and drank a cup" What were you drinking???????:D |
Frank! Absolutely Fantastic!
After reading your post I immediately logged on to youtube and listened to the original Beatles recording as I read/sang your lyrics. I'm sure others must have done the same... right? I can't be the only one. After that I found myself lost in an endless loop of Beatles songs that lasted a couple of hours. A truly enjoyable evening to say the least. |
I have had a really bad day and reading that made me laugh.
Hot Tuna rules. Just saw them the other day on TV. 70 years old and still kickin! |
I can't wait to see what you do with Mean Mr. Mustard (Bruces) and She Came In Through The Bathroom Window (GAI)
|
Well done Frank! I know you had some fun putting that together.
|
Frank, I don't know what I want more: your comedic talent or your free time! :)
|
beatles
Oh that's quite good
|
Awsome Frank.
I still vote for the Beatles as the best band of all time. I just had the sudden inclination to go to Youtube and listen to Grace (Airplane) singing White Rabbit. I don't now why......but saw them in 1980-81 at the Greek Amphitheater in LA. It might be the best of over a hundred concerts I have ever seen. It was the Starship, introducing Grace Slick. |

|
