![]() ![]() The chorus is " Momma don't worry now/Teddy Boy's here/Taking good care of you/Momma don't worry your Teddy Boy's here/Teddy's gonna see you through." "Teddy Boy" is another song that was recorded for possible inclusion on a Beatles album - this one for Let It Be. I've actually spent hours listening to this one over and over, back when it was originally released on CD. Seriously, I think he'd be beside himself with excitement listening to this track. I'm surprised that Quentin Tarantino hasn't used this one in a film yet. It's a fantastic instrumental with a catchy groove. "Momma Miss America" is one of my favorite tunes from this album. Does that make this an early karaoke track? "Singalong Junk" is an instrumental version of "Junk." The "Singalong" in the title implies that the listener should sing to the track. Here is a bit of the lyrics: "' Buy, buy,' says the sign in the shop window/Why, why? says the junk in the yard." ![]() ![]() However, later that version was included on Anthology 3. It didn't make the cut (though that album is a double LP). And in fact it was recorded in 1968 for inclusion on that album. "Junk" is another tune that sounds like it would fit perfectly on the White Album. and be with you." A live version of this song from 1979 is included on the second disc. It's a sweet love song with lines like, " Every morning brings a new day/And every night that day is through/But tonight I just want to stay in/And be with you. You could easily imagine this on the White Album or Abbey Road. "Every Night" would have fit in with the Beatles later material. (I was lucky enough to be present at the concert when they first played it that show was later released as Dick's Picks Volume Seventeen.) The Grateful Dead covered this one a few times toward the end of their career. The lyrics are just, " That would be something/That really would be something/That would be something/To meet you in the falling rain, momma/Meet you in the falling rain." Simple, but effective. "That Would Be Something" is such a damn cool song, one of the best from this album (and really, one of the best in McCartney's post-Beatles career). This special edition of the album contains a second disc of bonus material, including two versions of "Maybe I'm Amazed." This is the second release in the the Paul McCartney Archive Collection (the first being last year's issue of Band On The Run). And almost everything that follows is excellent. Sure, the first song is a throwaway tune - a little love song to his wife - but it's sweet and it's over in less than a minute. McCartney has always been one of my favorite Paul McCartney albums - maybe my favorite, though there are times when I can't get enough of Band On The Run. He plays all the instruments and does the vocals. In 1970 when the Beatles were breaking up and Let It Be was about to be released, Paul McCartney released his first solo album, titled simply McCartney. ![]()
