Worst 5 Beatles songs:

1) I Am The Walrus

2) Octopus' Garden

3) Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

4) Magical Mystery Tour

5) Yellow Submarine

 

For perspective, if Paul McCartney shoved a pennywhistle up his arse and farted angrily at John Lennon deepthroating the mic whilst vomiting, that'd have been probably around the 10th worst.

Surely Ob La Di Ob La Da should be in there.

 

Tbh I'd rank that one higher than Strawberry Fields.

 

Over Christmas we watched the film Yesterday (more OH's choice than mine, I must say). Ob La Di was the song in the last scenes (with lead actor Himesh Patel singing it) and it was undeniably cheery. I rather enjoyed the film, though as far as Beatles music is concerned it moved my needle just a tiny bit but not much.
