Wenner, Jann S. (21 December 1968). "Review: The Beatles' 'White Album' ". Rolling Stone. p.10 . Retrieved 26 June 2019. Steve from Fenton, MoI like this song. A good melody is the most valuable commodity in music. No one was better than Paul at coming up with catchy melodies. John would make fun of him in 67 thru 70 because Paul got most of the singles. For you Beatles fans that hate this song, go listen to Cold Turkey. We went to a cinema show in a village where a guy put up a mobile screen and all the villagers came along and loved it. I remember walking down a little jungle path with my guitar to get to the village from the camp. I was playing ‘Desmond has a barrow in the market place…’ […] Mark from Barrow-in-furness, EnglandJohn said this song makes no sense??? Maybe Paul should have added some lines about "yellow matter custard" or "semolina pilchers" or maybe "eggmen"... it would make a lot of sense then.

Later in 1975, after Ford and the remaining members called it quits, Knight and Whitehead took over the name Marmalade with the new line-up, fronted by Newman. [2] [12] They signed a deal with Tony Macaulay's Target Records and in 1976, had what turned out to be their final Top 10 hit with the ominously entitled, Macaulay penned song, "Falling Apart at the Seams". The song also reached the easy listening charts in the U.S. and made the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's last charting single on the U.S charts. [13] Subsequent singles failed to chart. [2] One of these was " Talking In Your Sleep", produced by Roger Greenaway and released in January 1978, six months ahead of the Crystal Gayle version of the same song, which became well known worldwide.Roberts, David (2006).

Pancho from Guadalajara, MexicoDoes anyone know if Paul has ever sung Ob-la-di Ob-la-da in any of his recent concerts? I think this is one of the songs he has forgotten about... Three months earlier on December 29th, 1968 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #51 and spent 6 weeks on the Top 100... Pougff from Manchester, MsSome of you need to give him a break!! Just because he wrote masterpieces doesn't mean he ALWAYS had to have written them! The band still exists, with many additional further evolved lineups including vocalist Sandy Newman, a member since 1975, touring the nostalgia circuit.I had a friend called Jimmy Scott who was a Nigerian conga player, who I used to meet in the clubs in London. He had a few expressions, one of which was, ‘Ob la di ob la da, life goes on, bra’. I used to love this expression… He sounded like a philosopher to me. He was a great guy anyway and I said to him, ‘I really like that expression and I’m thinking of using it,’ and I sent him a cheque in recognition of that fact later because even though I had written the whole song and he didn’t help me, it was his expression. With their EMI Columbia contract at an end, Walsh, with the help of John Salter, Walsh's booking agent, was successful in signing the band to CBS Records with producer Mike Smith, who was having great success with the Tremeloes, now their agency stablemates. But their first few CBS singles also failed to chart in the UK. Derek from Carmel, InThis song is just a fun ditty. It's not meant to be anywhere as deep as Here, There, and Everywhere.
