A fact about a famous song ...

[Cellarite]

Happiness is Eggshaped by The Seahorses was going to be the first song on the 3rd Stone Roses album.

 

[Chris in London]

The Beatles recorded two versions of Strawberry Fields Forever. They were happy with the first half but not the second of one, and the second half but not the first of the other. So they spliced together the first half of the first, and the second half of the second to make the single.

The problem is, the two halves are about half a tone different to each other in pitch. So if you listen carefully you can her the change in pitch between the two halves.

Ride on time was originally called right on time but because of her accent everyone thought it said ride on time so that stuck.
Also, the woman singing in the video is not actually the person who sang the song.
