Monday morning, the original version from Carl Perkins. I only knew the Beatles cover of this song, with Ringo singing the lead. You can really see and hear why Paul McCartney said, “If there were no Carl Perkins, there’d be no Beatles.”

I never tire of the great harmonies in this Beatles song.

Tip Top Beatles. Remember the 45 with “If I Fell” on the flip side? It might have been the first single where there was no A and B side because both songs were hits
Thanks to YouTuber cool beans
A really good version of the side 2 medley of Abbey Road. And of course, some great drumming.

Monday morning, McCartney walks down the path. Paul reportedly hated Phil Spector’s epic orchestration and choral parts on this song, but somehow it works for me.

Monday Morning, a most unusual cover of a lesser known, but great early Beatles song. The guy who does this is really interesting–go to his channel and look at the variety of covers he does, all very well produced. I have no idea what his real name is, but he’s quite talented.

Mr. McCartney, unplugged, after a few bad starts does, indeed, work it out.
Most sources about the song confirm that Paul wrote the “We Can Work It Out” verse and John wrote the “Life is very short” middle.
Linda McCartney on tambourine.

Monday morning McCartney with a smashing live rendition of “Golden Slumbers,” “Carry That Weight,” and “The End.” Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits and Eric Clapton on guitars, an absolutely amazing Phil Collins on drums, and the orchestra and choir led by none other than George Martin at the Royal Albert Hall for a 1997 charity benefit.

Monday morning, some excellent Beatles covers by the Filipino band REO brothers–who are, in fact, really brothers, and have a really inspiring story about the hardships they faced in their lives and the people who helped them. To give you an idea, In 2005, lead vocalist Ronjoseph Otic made drums from tin cans covered with potato-chip bags and started teaching himself to play. He then mastered playing the guitar and taught these skills to his three siblings.

Mona’s voice seems especially suited for this Beatles song from Rubber Soul.

A piece of doggerel, literally. Paul tosses off a tune to his dog while in the studio.

Monday morning, another excellent cover of a lesser known Beatles song from Josh, Carson, Reina, and Toni.
A John Lennon penned song, it was released as the B-Side to the “Get Back” single, but for some reason it was cut from the Let It Be album.

Sunday evening, Paul finds 50,000 to perform with, nah-nah-nah-nah-ing far into Monday morning.
Paul McCartney at the amazing Hyde Park concert in 2010, singing “Hey Jude.”
By the end, I think even McCartney was in awe. All 50,000 people, men, then women, were singing in the right key.
Here is the incredible set list for the concert that night:
Monday morning, the McCartneys wake up next to each other and Paul sings.
With Jimmy McCulloch on bass, Denny Laine on 12-string guitar, both of Wings.

An amazing guitar arrangement and nimble playing and singing makes Josh Turner’s rendition of the McCartney classic, “Eleanor Rigby,” extra special.

Monday morning, The Austrian MonaLisa Twins again with a very good cover of The Beatles’ “I’ll Be Back.”
I always liked this song because it seemed to be structured differently from a lot of the pop songs of the time. There was a haunting quality to it as well. I never had enough musical knowledge to understand what was really going on, but these paragraphs from Wikipedia made it clear:
“Unusually for a pop song it oscillates between major and minor keys; it appears to have two different bridges and lacks a chorus. The fade-out ending also arrives unexpectedly, being a half stanza premature.[3]
The metric structure also is unusual. The verse is in 6-measure phrases in 4/4 time. The first and third bridges have a four-measure phrase in 4/4 followed by a phrase with 2 measures of 4/4 and one of 2/4; the second bridge has a 4-measure phrase followed by 5 measures of 4/4 and one of 2/4.”
