This is a cover. It is NOT the Beatles.

My point = it's a beautiful song, it's a beautiful rendition (and I've certainly heard the original since), it's a beautiful moment (with a beautiful leading actress, just throwing that out there), it's a beautiful film, there's a recreation of Abbey Road (down to a T with the vehicles), it was released in 1998 and was my first experience to the Beatles at the tender age of two. I admit I myself question the visibility that commodities of a bygone era have when it comes to generations younger than even I, but I'd like to believe everyone gets exposed to certain things at some point instead of thinking "kids today don't even know what such and such is." (Being products of the internet generation helps) Not that I'd encourage a Beatles attraction at the UK pavilion, but still.

I'm a 20 something and have been listening to the White Album, Sgt. Pepper, and Revolver in my car. Going to the beach this weekend and with all the talk here maybe switching a few out for Abby Road... also on the Paul comment we had a HS teacher that devoted half the year to explaining and talking about that... good times!

So if a Beatles ride is in the works I'm all for it!

Do you happen to live in upstate SC and go to Eastside High? Same thing happened to me:)

Ha, this was our history teacher that was a coach. All I had to do was mention something about the Paul is dead references in the albums and he was off for the remainder of the period talking about it:)

Same. A lot of 30/40 year olds are familar with "old stuff" ;) I grew up as a kid watching old reruns on Nick@Nite and listening to the oldies station (I loved a lot of the songs used in Guardians before they became popular from it all over again, for example). I also educate myself on things.

Now teens and even 20 year olds? That I agree with. Most probably don't know or care about a lot of that stuff. With technology at their fingertips 24/7 you'd think they'd educate themselves on things ... but they'd rather take selfies and snapchat and instagaram and facebook for likes. Shame.

I'm glad I was born when I was.

Maybe i'm just viewing from a distorted lens, But to say "most probably don't know or care about a lot of that stuff" seems very wrong/misguided. Yes they are fools that have no knowledge of anything past their Instagram feed, but i don't believe that is the norm. There has always been a mass adoration of the 60s/70s culture (in my lifetime), with a emphasis on music. Go to any school nation wide and you'll see tons of younger people wearing classic rock band tees, especially the Beatles. Just because millennials have a section of vapid/shallow people, doesn't mean that's everyone. I'd be hard pressed to find a single person in my age bracket that hasn't at least heard some songs by bands like the Beatles/stones/led zeppelin. (for reference i am 20.)

I said most. Not all ;) Sorry if you took it the wrong way. But it's not really misguided :) I don't like being dismissed because of my age ... My whole point was saying that a lot of us DO know these things. Don't take it to heart so much it wasn't a knock or anything LOL

Over all I agree with this- but I must say I think the Carpenters version of Ticket to Ride is incredible. Karen had an amazing voice.

I like the Carpenters, but no thank you. Joe Cocker did a great "cover", but it was really his own fantastic version of a Beatles song. He made it his own, so that is different.

See Elton John's cover of Lucy In the Sky for the low point. I would say it was William Shatner's version, but I pretend that never happened.

I think Elton's version is better than the Beatles, and so did John Lennon (Who sang and played on it.).
