Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for September 06, 2024

A lot of “covers” of pop tunes sound nothing like the original.

Way too many acoustic guitarists are stuck on “I’ve just seen a face.”

Give me Kurt Rosenwinkel, he’s doing new and original things with his guitar!

You can gladly hold my hand . Two eights and three aces.

Sounds like me except not the Beatles

I bet he sounds like the Turtles.

Hey, turtles got hands! (Hey, it’s a comic strip!)

No one mentioned that this is all under water and guitar strings don’t vibrate.

Cartoon physics.

Uh, Fillmore, that song you just mentioned is also a Beatles song. Talk about a hypocrite.

Hokay, now I gotta play me some Beatles!

Got any songs about a submarine?

“You can’t help copying the Beatles. They still hold all the patents.” — Jools Holland

Do you know the theme to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

“It’s OK; I only used the title.”

On “Burt’s Blockbusters,” Burt of Sesame Street sang, “I wanna hold your ear.” So romantic.

Britcom Goodnight, Sweetheart about a 1990s guy who finds a time portal into the 1940s. His main source of income back then is “writing” Beatles songs.

Fantastic …………. “NOW” I’ve got that song on a loop in my mind …………… funny, I can see the group playing that song ……… on The Ed Sullivan Show, when he introduced The Beatles to America …… (1964)

I hold your hand in mine, dear. I press it to my lips….

Sir Paul on Line One.

Ugh……. Filmore really should deflate his ego.
