No longer content to just strum his ukulele or bang on Mr. Butch’s drums, Simon has begun writing songs. We have no idea what they sound like, as he won’t play or sing them for us. But we do have a list, and if you are familiar with the Beatles albums A Hard Day’s Night or Help!, these will sound familiar. We’ve put our best guesses as the the, er, inspiration, and one awesome commentary in parentheses next to the song.
- “We Should Have Known Better.” (“Not ‘I Should Have Known Better’, ‘We Should Have Known Better.’ It’s hard to play of course.”)
- “She Wants to Get on the Train” (“Ticket to Ride”)
- “She Wants You” (“She Loves You”)
- “Mommy and Daddy, I Need You” (“Help!” or “I Need You”)
You know what they say about imitation, right?
