I Want To Hold Your Attention

________________________________________________________________________________________________

When I first heard this song
in 1964, gravity took
a lunch break.

My hands started clapping
and crossed the pond
to England where four
Liverpool lads sang:

Oh Yeah, I tell you something
I think you'll understand

The B-side of Fillmore Slim's
You Got The Nerve
Of A Brass Monkey
is a song with the
exact same title as
the Beatles classic.

Mr. Slim recorded his
I WANT TO HOLD
YOUR HAND
in 1957.

The Beatles recorded the "Lennon/McCartney"
I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND in 1963.

To counteract my inability to provide a recording link for
Fillmore Slim's vinyl image, I hereby provide a bonus
hyperlink to a Beatles' song that Mrs. CarPeo
will fall in love with because it is
about a dog: the title is
Black Dog Blues.

The next Beatles' page is here.
