Governments must pass a law to become effective June 18, 2006 and remain in effect until June 18, 2007, which will make illegal the public broadcast of "When I'm Sixty-Four" on any radio station for a period of 365 days, via radio or any other means, including performance by live musicians.
Let's
do what we can to prevent it while there's still time.

b: June 18, 1942, Liverpool, perchance? |

This is (semi-)bakeable without legislation. Pulp withdrew their song "Disco 2000" from radio playlists for the duration of the year 2000. Which was very considerate of them, especially as it is a rubbish song. Anyway, just write a nice letter to Mr McCartney asking him to do the same for "When I'm 64." |
|
| |
Aside from that the correct name is Isle of Wight (not White)... That's the best website I've ever seen. I'm going to see if I can get my friends to have a web karaoke party with me. The version of Bohemian Rhapsody is particularly fine. Said without a hint of irony... |
|
| |
.....Indicate precisely what you mean to say,
yours sincerely, wasting away........ |
|
| |
Five negatives? This means there are at least five people who are quite happy to be inundated with this damn song over and over again, every day for a year during the entire time that Sir Paul is 64 years old. You know it will happen. |
|
| |
Why not have an extravaganza--get Prince to sing "1999", get Bowie to do "1984", get whats-his-face to do "2525", and during the whole thing, use Sinatra's "Very Good Year" or whatever the damn title is. Fawn all over Sir Paul with these songs but don't play his aforementioned one. |
|
| |
Or just get rid of your damn T.V. set. |
|
| |
Rant? I don't like the Beattles, and probably never will ... so tenatively you'll get my bun until [jutta] or [po] start chasing me with heavy objects, and or advising me otherwise (in refrence to bunning a rant) ... [+] |
|
| |
Here, probably. It's not quite but almost a repost. |
|
| |
{I say almost because I didn't keep the original, and therefore had to rewrite from scratch when I was reminded of the lurking danger that faces us all when inadvertently listening to Sgt. Pepper earlier this evening.} |
|
| |
So you want to ban the playing of the song during the entire period in which Sir Paul McCartney is actually 64? why? |
|
| |
//I don't like the Beattles, and probably never will ... // |
|
| |
//Because he's a smug git and any DJ willing to play the song during that year is a pathetic arse?// |
|
| |
here, here!! you get my croissant too. :P |
|
| |
thought you liked the beatles, waugs! |
|
| |
my favourite was always John but Paul has grown on me somewhat over the years. (apart from Mull of Kintyre - cringe) |
|
| |
[po] - You can see specialist surgeons and get him removed if he becomes too inconvenient. |
|
| |
And there I was thinking, blimey, [waugs] never comes across as being 61. |
|
| |
Get Michael Jackson to buy the rights to the song and convince him his nose will shrink into oblivion if the song is played anywhere in the world during that time period. |
|
| |
Congrats for figuring out the premise freefall. Now spend some time on the reason. It has to do with stemming the deluge. |
|
| |
I do like the Beatles, po, but I know the ensuing onslaught of "64" will be even more than I can take. Think of the innocents. |
|
| |
And Michael Jackson already owns the rights to this song. |
|
| |
I think you are worrying unduly. perhaps both our predictions should go on the predictions 2004 idea? |
|
| |
So, you *won't* still be sending him a valentine, waugs? |
|
| |
Michael Jackson at age 64, eww.... bad visual. |
|
| |
I dunno ... he looks pretty bad now. His looks may actually improve as the plastic begins to settle. |
|
| |
Yeah, but Jarvis Cocker placed a radio play embargo on "Disco 2000" for the duration of the year 2000. Let's hope Busted do the same, later. |
|
| |
American readers, we are now returning you to your scheduled programming. |
|
| |
What exactly would the penalty be for playing such a song? Suspension of your Disc Jockey license? |
|
| |
The penalty? Death! Death by Umbongo! |
|
| |
Do It!. Now! Forewarned is forearmed (<pedant>Yes, with weapons!/</p>)
Note to self: That probably could have been spelt better! |
|
| |
Happy Birthday, birthday boy! |
|
| |
/So, you *won't* still be sending him a valentine, waugs?// |
|
| |
Maybe that's the answer. A small band of Guerilla Halfbakers to send St Paul a valentine every time the song is heard in connection with his age. |
|
| |
[Waugs]: A halfbakery visionary. |
|
| |
//I wonder why they chose the colour green in that story//
There were three brands of Soylent products; Red, Yellow & Green. Soylent was a contraction of 'Soya' and 'Lentils'. |
|
| |
Please, please, please get this peice of legislation passed. I had to sing it in primary school when I was little and I've never been able to shake the lyrics outta my head. |
|
| |
can't be as bad as the froglet song :) |
