Okay. So I’m listening to “Love First, Ask Questions Later” after a few days of just listening to The Who. And I notice Ringo referencing some other songs. I realize he does this a lot. So here’s my completely incomplete list of Ringo referencing Beatles/Beatle related songs. Some of them may be unintentional, but I have no way of telling, unless Ringo wants to email me and confirm this… Ha. ;)
Eye To Eye
- Remember when I said *it don’t come easy*
Instant Amnesia
- It’s like *instant karma* / you’ve been there before
Never Without You
- *Within you without you* / *Here Comes The Sun* is about you
Write One For Me
- It does no good for you to play / a pretty song like *Yesterday*
Love First, Ask Questions Later
- It can’t be overstated / the *writing’s on the wall*
- I promise you won’t regret this / *tomorrow never knows*
Elizabeth Reigns
- “Well, there goes me knighthood”
(said by Prof. Foot in Help!)
English Garden
- Someone’s knockin’ at the door / someone’s ringin’ my bell
(Let ‘Em In by Paul McCartney)
I Think Therefore I Rock And Roll
- It feels so good to *cry baby cry*
It Don’t Come Easy
- Open up your heart, let’s *come together*
