Arctic Monkeys
"Come Together"
- Genres: Soundtrack, Music
- Released: Jul 28, 2012
- ℗ 2012 Decca Music Group Limited
In the spirit of the Summer Olympics in London, Life of a Rock Star™ has chosen a song off of the “Isles of Wonder” album for Song of the Week.
The Arctic Monkeys cover The Beatles tune, “Come Together” with an old school sound that does proper homage to The Beatles and the true intention of the song. It is a song that evokes global international spirit--although that is far from the origin of the inspiration for the writing of the song--during a time when it is most needed. The power of music in sport should never be underestimated and this song proves that point.
PURCHASE “Come Together” by Arctic Monkeys on iTunes here (in the UK)
Aside from the Arctic Monkeys, the “Music for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games” album includes songs from other artists such as Frank Turner, Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, Pet Shop Boys, U2, David Bowie, Dizzee Rascal and more.
This album is sure to race to the top of the charts as the excitement continues to build in London.
This “Come Together” remake by the Arctic Monkeys is one you will want to add to your playlist.
“‘Come Together’ is a song by The Beatles written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The song is the opening track on the album Abbey Road, and was released as a double A-sided single with "Something", their twenty-first single in the United Kingdom and twenty-sixth in the United States. The song reached the top of the charts in the US, and peaked at number four in the UK.”--via Wikipedia.com
Lyrics from Lyrics007.com
Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me
He bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now
Over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got muddy water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
Cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
