Планирование учебного материала.

The Beatles.

On Wednesday 24th October 1964, Love Me Do, entered the British Top Thirty. It was the first single by an unknown group from Liverpool called the Beatles. It was the first of a number of big hits that would make John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and  Ringo Starr the most successful pop group the world has ever known.

 The early years.

However the road to success was not always easy. John and Paul had spent many afternoons listening to American  stars like Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley before they were able to write the famous Lennon and McCartney  songs.

Although the long evenings spent playing in hot nightclubs in Liverpool and Hamburg in Germany had not earned them much money, they found the experience very useful  when playing to huge audiences later on. Not only was  their style of singing new and exciting but their unusual haircuts-Beatle ”mops” and crazy sense of humour immediately became the latest fashion.

Influences.

One of the most important people at the start  of their careers was Brian Epstein , a Liverpudlian record-dealer. He managed to change four ordinary working class lads into intrnational superstars. George Martin, their record producer, encouraged them to introduce all kinds of unusual instruments  on their records and combined popular and classical  styles in a new and original way.

The 1960s.

During the 1960s the Beatles were always in the new headlines, films, world tours and sometimes scandal, John once suggested that the Beatles were better known than Jesus Christ. This caused  hundreds of young Americans to burn their Beatle records. In addition some people  thought there were  hidden messages  about drugs in some of the songs.

Break-up.

After a decade of successful music and films, the Beatles finally decided to break up in the early seventies, after public disagreements about money and personalities.

Although many fans hoped there would be a reunion throughout the 1970s, this became impossible with the tragic murder of John Lennon in New York in 1980.

The surviving Beatles are still deeply involved in musical and film projects, but  many fans still long for the music of the 60s.

Michelle

By John Lennon and Paul Mc Cartney.

Michelle ma belle. These are words that go together well, my Michelle,

Michelle ma belle, Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble.

I love you, I love you, I love you,

That’s all I want to say,

Until I find a way,

I will say the only  words  I know that you’ll understand .

Michelle ma belle, Sont les mots qui  vont tres bien ensemble
tres bien ensemble.

I need to, I need to, I need to

I need to make you see,

Until I do I’m hoping you will know what I mean.

I love you,

Until I do I’m telling  you so you’ll understand.

Michelle ma belle, Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble tres bien ensemble.

I will say the only words I know  that you’ll understand, my Michelle.

The song “Michelle” was a big hit in the 60s. It was dedicated to the beautiful French actress Michelle Mercier who starred in the well- known films about Angelica. The song was included  in the album “Rubber Soul” (1965). It had had 65 versions of the British group “Overlanders” surpassed all the rest .Its Michelle even topped the charts.

Yesterday.

( John Lennon and Paul McCartney)

Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away ,

Now it looks as though they’re here to stay.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly I’m half the man I used to be,

There’s shadow hanging over me .

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why She had to go I don’t know She Wouldn’t say.

I said something wrong , now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play, (twice)

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Girl.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story

All about  the Girl who came to stay ?

She is the kind of  Girl  you want so much

It makes you sorry,

Still you don’t regret a single day.

Ah, Girl, Girl…

When I think of all the times I tried so hard to leave her

She will turn to me and start to cry

And she promises the earth to me and I believe her,

After all this time  I don’t know why.

Ah, Girl, Girl…

She’s the kind of Girl who puts you down ,

When friends are there

You feel a fool.

When you say she’s looking good ,she acts as if it’s understood,

She’s cool, ooh,  ooh,

Girl, Girl…

Was she told when she was young that pain

Would lead to pleasure?

Did she understand it when they said

That a man must break his back to earn

His day of leisure?

Will she still believe it when he’s dead?

Ah, Girl, Girl…

And I Love Her.

I give her all my love

That’s all I do .

And if you saw my love

You’d love her too.

I love her

She gives me everything

And tenderly.

The kiss my lover brings

She brings to me

And I love her.

A love like ours

Could never die

As long as I have you near me.

Bright are the stars that shine,

Dark  is the sky;

I know this love of mine

Will never die

And I love her.

Yellow Submarine.

In the town where I was born lived the man who sailed the sea,

And he told us of his life in the land of submarines.

So we sailed up to the sun till we found the see of green.

And we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine.

We all live in a yellow submarine,…

And our friends are all on board,

Many more of them live next door,

And the band begins to play.

We all live in a yellow submarine,…

And we live a life of ease,

Everyone of us has all we need.

Sky of blue and see of green in our yellow submarine.

We all live in a yellow submarine,…

Imagine.

Imagine  there’s no heaven,

It’s easy if you try.

No hell below us,

Above  us only sky,

Imagine all the people ,

Living for today,

A-ha

Imagine there’s no countries,

It isn’t hard to do,

Nothing to kill or die for,

And no religion too,

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace, yu-huh

You may say I am a dreamer,

But I am  not the only one.

I hope some day you’ll join us

And the world be one.

Imagine no possessions,

I wonder if you can,

No need for greed or hunger,

A brotherhood of man,

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world, yu- huh.

You may say I am a dreamer,

But I am not the only one.

I hope some day

You’ll join us,

And the world will live as one.

The Fool on the Hill.

Day after day alone on a hill,

The man with the foolish grin is keeping

Perfectly still,

But nobody wants to know him.

They can see that he’s just a fool,

And he never gives an answer.

Refrain:

But the fool on the hill sees

The sun going down and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round.

Well on the way , head in a cloud,

The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud,

But nobody perfectly hears  him

Or the sound he appears to make,

And he never seems to notice.

Refrain:

And nobody seems to like him,

They can tell what he wants to do,

And he never shows his feelings.

Refrain:

He never listens to them,

He knows that they’re the fools,

They don’t like him.

Refrain:
