“Don’t Let Me Down” voters; I don’t want to be “Back in the U.S.S.R.” if O manages to steal Ohio.
You forgot “I’m a Loser”, “Fool on the Hill”, “Back in the USSR”, “Chains”, “I Should Have Known Better” & “You Never Give Me Your Money”.
How about some songs from the Who?
-”We’re not going to take it” and “Won’t be fooled again” come to mind.
Ummm… because the article specs beatle songs?
How about Ob-la-di Ob-la-da http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d69bB-gf1Ps
“Revolution.” It was right in 1968 and its right for now. John Lennon also said the following:
“The lyrics stand today,” Lennon said in 1980. “They’re still my feeling about politics: I want to see the plan. . . . I want to know what you’re going to do after you’ve knocked it all down. I mean, can’t we use some of it? What’s the point of bombing Wall Street? If you want to change the system, change the system. It’s no good shooting people.”

I know. …… My wife helped on that one. Sorry!
All Beatles songs are perfect for all occasions.
One that we will NOT hear: “We Can Work It Out.”
Sorry, guys … it looks like for Romney “money can’t buy you love.”
I’d say “Tomorrow Never Knows” is appropriate for Obama’s “victory” since it invites you to “Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream…” Sounds like most Obama voters to me.
U’re back in the USSR, and U know how lucky U R boy.
(By Heavens, it was the Beatles who invented Twitter. Knew it all along.)
Oh, and if you don’t feel lucky, we’ll always enforce it upon you.
