Taunts

[paulumbo]

This is pure impression on my part, but one of the reasons I think the real Paul is (or has been ) alive, is the fact that from 1967-on the reconstituted Beatles put out taunting tracks. A good example of that was the 1967 Christmas record which was one big, nasty taunt---of WHO? A DEAD man? Another example is I AM THE WALRUS. The most recent one I've heard is TOO MUCH RAIN on the CHAOS AND CREATION cd. Faul and the gang wouldn't have been exocising a ghost, so who would he (and they) have been directing the taunts at?

[faulconandsnowjob]

They were probably taunting Faul. Just my opinion.

[mommybird]

I have to agree with Faulcon about the 1967 Christmas Album at least. I had that as a child. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why they were acting so strange on it. They all sounded trashed off their asses.

Christmas Time is Here Again:

It's a bouncy remix, take 444!

Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again

Ain't been round since you know when
Christmas time is here again
O-U-T spells "out"

The boys arrive at BBC House.

"What do you want?"

"We are being granted permission, oh wise one."

"Ah, pass in peace."

Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is...

"An audition will be held at 10 A.M., Wednesday the first in the fluffy rehearsal rooms. Bring you own!"
* An audition for WHAT ?

"Thank you. Next, please!"

"Would over here be convenient for you?"

"Carry on!"

"Over here, are you thirteen, eh?" *

"Next, please!"

Get wonderlust for your trousers
Get wonderlust for your hair
What the HELL is wanderlust ( I've always wanted to know that ! )

"Sitting with me in the studio tonight is a cross section of British youth. I'd like first of all to speak to you, Sir Gerald."

"Oh, not a bit of it. We had a job to do, Michael."

"Ah, yes, yes, quite. I don't think you're answering my question."

"Oh, let me put it this way, there was a job to be done."
* Really now ? Was the job being referred to the replacement of Paul ? Could the Michael that is being addressed to be Michael McGear/McCartney ?

Christmas time is here again
Christmas time is here again

On to the next round!
Bingo! Bingo! Ha! Ha!

"In the recent heavy fighting near Blackpool, Mrs. G. Evans of Solihull was gradually injured. She wants for all the people in hospital 'Plenty Of Jam Jars' by the Ravellers. And here it is."

Plenty of jam jars, baby
Plenty of jam jars for you (For you, baby)
Plenty of jam jars, baby
Plenty of jam jars for you
Plenty of jam jars, baby (Baby, baby)
Plenty of jam jars for you
*It has been insinuated that Mrs. G. Evans is a reference to Paul being injured. I myself don't see that. I did, however, try to look this up but had no luck finding a newspaper article concerning it.
Then again, I would guess that you'd have to look in the microfilm of the solihull library ( circa 1967 ) to find a reference to said incident.

"And how old are you?"

"Thirty-two." *Faul *

"Ooh!"

"Never..."

"I am!"

"Get away!"

"I am!" * Because he looked so much younger *

"Well, what prize have you got your eyes on?"

"I have?" *Guess he got the job, whether he wanted it or not !*

"Ooh!"

"Well, you've just won a trip to Denver and five others!" *Kenya ?
I have to wonder if Denver was known for being the place to go for cosmetic surgery ?!*


"Ooh!"

"Thank you."

"And also, wait for it, you have also been elected as independent candidate for Paddington!"

"Ooh!"

"Look after yourself! Ha ha!"
* I always thought that they were saying "go f*ck yourself". Which at my young age I found quite shocking. Don't forget, I idolized these men !
* I really think that this is all of them making fun of Faul. It is most definitely John Lennon's dry sense of humor.

Get wonderlust for your trousers
Get wonderlust for your hair

This round is brought to you tonight from the arms of someone new.
* And that would be who ? Faul ?

"Hello! I'm speaking from a call box!"

"Hello! Hello!? Operator! Hello operator!? I've been cut off! I've been cut off! It's emergency!"
* That part always gave me chills. It was just so abrupt, and so FREAKY !

O-U-T spells "out"

Christmas time is here again

Ain't been round since you know when

Christmas time is here again

"And how old are you?"

"Thirty-two! Ha ha ha!"

"Never! Ha ha ha!"

"Well, you won a prize! Ha ha ha!"

"Get off the show! Ha ha ha!"
* They seemed to find it necessary to reiterate this. WHY ? What PRIZE did Faul win ? Everything that Paul owned ? That's some prize...

"They like to thank you for a wonderful year."

"We'd like to thank you for a wonderful year."

"Thank you for a wonderful year."

"Carry on!"

"Look after yourself! Ha ha ha!"

"Come in!"

And Christmas time is all,
and your bonnie clay us through.
Happy breastling to you people
all out best from me to you.
When the beasty brangom button
to the heather and little inn.
And be strattened oot in matether
to yer arms once back again.
Och away, ye bonnie.
*Typical Johnny...

This is all my impressions now & from when I was young & actually owned this album. Alas, I gave it away to Mark Hamill many years ago. I wonder if he still has it

The most recent one I've heard is TOO MUCH RAIN on the CHAOS AND CREATION cd. Faul and the gang wouldn't have been exocising a ghost, so who would he (and they) have been directing the taunts at?

I haven't listened to that all the way through. Is that the video where Faul is playing the Ukelele ? If so, I've seen parts of the video. I think that the ghost that he might be trying to exercise could very well be Paul. We have no idea how he feels about taking over Paul's life, especially now that he's on in years.

[DarkHorse]

John taunted Bill regularly.

[TotalInformation]

"And now I'm only 32... / and all I want to do / is Boogaloo!"

[LOVELYRITA]

Boogaloo down Broadway...back off Boogaloo?

[paulumbo]

The entire 1967 Christmas record was about a replacement for Paul. That would be Faul and they would not be taunting Faul.

Good work! Sun King, Here Comes the Sun, Come Together, Early 1970s and How Do You Sleep to name a few, were all shots taken at a living Paul. "Bill" was just filling a void, no need to have issues with him.

Wait,.....sorry Paul was beheaded..... all better now TI?

[paulumbo]

thisone commented on the CREAM song WHAT A BRINGDOWN [reply #303 on the PID/PWR Songs] that jam jar is rhyming slang for car. I found a reference in the CASSELL DICTIONARY OF SLANG that says that jam jar is rhyming slang for motor car. "The Ravellers" in the Christmas record sing "Plenty of jam jars for you" in a taunting way. Fast forward to the song GET BACK where there's a Faul backmask which says: "I need wheels. Help me! Help me! Help me!" I've said it before that I think Mrs. G. Evans that the B(F)eatles are singing about WAS Paul and they were discribing an incident that landed Paul in the hospital. I think the GET BACK backmask was a reference back to 1967 or it was saying that Paul was having troubles again.

An old post, but I gotta bump it.  The reference here to Denver, and auditions.   Someone who sounds like John, Paul, and George.  Well, this band was formed in Denver, 1968.  Tried hard for an audition (in the song).  Oh, but they'd heard it all before.  They sounded like John, Paul, and George.   Who needs the jammin' jars, anyway?  Sugarloaf actually ended up with some percentage points.  How did that song go, again?

Uh, long distance, directory assistance, area code 212 (calling NY)
I said, "Hey mama, this is Mr. Rhythm and Blues"
He said hello, and put me on hold
To say the least, the cat was cold
He said, "Don't call us child, we'll call you"  (so he's too young for the part)
I said, "You got my number?"
He said, "Yeah I got it when you walked in the door"

Don't call us, we'll call you

I got your name from a friend of a friend
Who said he used to work with you (I dunno, the Beatles, NY, Murray the K? No! Wolfman Jack!, Wait.. they know the Wolfman, the Wolfman knows Murray, I wanna be a Beatle?!!!...)
Do you remember the all-night preacher from Stereo 92?  (Sure, you thought she was diggin' you but she was diggin' me, that guy?)
I said, "Could you relate to a quarter-track tape?
You know, the band performs in the nude?"
He said, "Uh-uh, don't call us, we'll call you"

"Listen kid, you pay for the call
You ain't bad, but we've heard it all before 
Yeah, it sounds like JOHN, PAUL, AND GEORGE

Anyway, we cut a hit and toured a bit 
With the song he said he couldn't use  (Was it Green-Eyed lady?  That's a good one.  Got it on my phone.  I wanna be a Beatle!  And I got this song here...She soothes every raging wave that comes, perfect for a water band, right?)
And now he calls, and begs and crawls
It's telephone Deja Vu
We got percentage points, and lousy joints
And all the glitter we can use, mama
So, huh, don't call us, we'll call you!

Sure.  "Sorry boy, but I've been hit by purple rain" - Ventura Highway.  A feeling of restlessness.  Prince assigned his own definition, but as we know, sometimes words have two meanings.
