Rating: Midnight and one minute. Little sun, lots of darkness (of course, it's night!). Down in the cellar of De Baser some strange noises can be heard.
Some debaserians have gathered secretly for a reason that to most might seem futile and absurd, but to true doc debaserians, it is anything but futile and absurd.
Damn, there are 50 reviews for Eminem, at least 80 for Oasis, and only one appears for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." We need to fix this, make a new one, and then make another, and then yet another. Sure, sounds simple. But who, I say who, I emphasize who, is going to do it? Who?
The debaserians consult, the task is arduous and demanding.
Mantaray: "It's not my favorite Beatles album"
Ziabice: "What can I say... Beatles never really caught me, let's just say I agree with Scaruffi's 'against' stance: http://www.scaruffi.com/vol1/beatles.html"
PuntiniCazPuntini: "Scaruffi's positions are an enlightening example of what it means to be a jerk"
El Guevo: "I didn't understand much"
Frantz: "But was the famous girlfriend John Lennon's or Julian's?"
Ziabice: "What can I say"
Punisher: "I think it sucks, damn fucking shithead stupid assholes disgusting drooling bastards"
Giuseppe: "Scaruffi gave 7 to the first Aqua album, I think that's enough to understand the character"
Cece 65: "There's no need to open any post about Scaruffi, he's been talked about in DeBaser for quite some time in almost all Beatles reviews, and it seems to me that it's been well highlighted that his is a way of positioning, before any group, as someone who wants to be alternative at all costs, at the risk of writing massive bullshit and making a fool of himself"
Bogusman: "Depends on what point you analyze the work"
Hal: "I imagined a response like that"
Odradek: "Ah, the Beatles! Such lovely skirmishes there could be, so much at stake!"
El Guevo: "Magic, that's what this album is"
Frantz: "The Beatles album I prefer above all!"
Marmist85: "I only save 'Sgt. Pepper,' 'Lsd,' 'With a little help,' and 'A day'... The others are mediocre". Mangoni: "Read what Sterling Morrison thought of 'Sgt. Pepper's' and then tell Scaruffi to go to hell"
Boredom: "Someone will eventually open a forum on the Scaruffi topic"
Punisher: "I think it sucks, damn whore stupid bastards son of a bitch damned pigs"
Hal: "And you, what do you say? Nothing I guess"
Odradek: "I’ll take my leave by repeating myself: every Sca(r)ruffone is beautiful to his mom"
Psychopompe: "It's a fact that without the Beatles and the Kinks, American garage at the time (not all of it, of course) wouldn't say it wouldn't have been born, but it would have been a less significant phenomenon"
Bogusman: "Sorry, but it was precisely in the era of Zappa and Red Crayola and Velvet (let's say '66-'67) that the Beatles started to offer their psychedelic experimentation"
Psychopompe: "I'm not interested because their psychedelia would have been different from the American one anyway".
Ziabice: "What can I say?"
The tension was palpable. The conversation risked stalling and ending with no real shared or shareable decision. Everyone stands up. They leave. At a certain point, however, Punisher raises his head and exclaims:
"I think it sucks, only a stupid bastard jerk could review this crap".
The words echoed like a trumpet blast in the damp and chilly air of the very sad debaserian cellar. It's not a coincidence that the review of this album (which I didn't manage to do in time) ended up in my hands. Don't you think?
Tracklist and Lyrics
01 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (00:00)
It was twenty years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper told the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
We hope you will enjoy the show,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,
Sit back and let the evening go.
Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's lonely,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certinly is a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
03 Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (00:00)
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...
05 Fixing A Hole (00:00)
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
I'm filling the cracks that ran though the door
and kept my mind from wandering
where it will go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
See the people standing there
who disagree and never win
and wonder why they don't get in my door
I'm painting the room in a colorful way,
and when my mind is wandering
there I will go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right where I belong
I'm right where I belong
Silly people run around
they worry me and never ask me
why they don't get past my door
I'm taking my time for a number of things
that weren't important yesterday
and I still go
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
where it will go
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
09 When I'm Sixty-Four (00:00)
When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
would you lock the door?
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings, go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage on the
Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine forever more
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four?
Hoo!
10 Lovely Rita (00:00)
Lovely Rita meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid
nothing can come between us
When it gets dark I tow your heart away
Standing by a parking meter
when I caught a glimpse of Rita
Filling in a ticket in her little white book
In a cap she looked much older
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man
Lovely Rita meter maid
may I inquire discreetly
When are you free to take some tea with me
Rita!
Took her out and tried to win her
had a laugh and over dinner
Told her I would really like to see her again
Got the bill and Rita paid it
Took her home and nearly made it
Sitting on a sofa with a sister or two
Oh! Lovely Rita meter maid
where would I be without you
give us a wink and make me think of you
Lovely meter maid
Rita meter maid
oh, Lovely Rita meter, meter maid
