90. Better, Better, Better, Better, Better, Better, Oh!

90. "Hey Jude" by the Beatles {#1; 9/68} [iTunes? Yes] {Video: Not the studio version of the song, but close: Hey Jude. (Worth watching the video for the nerd who looks like a young Dwight Schrute at the 3:29 mark, and for the amazingly uninterested girls at the 3:43 mark. And lots of cool sixties fashions.)}

I mentioned I liked "Na-na" songs, right? Well, the last four minutes of this song are nothing but "na-nas" and some of the best screaming you'll ever hear in a song.

Nice jackets. (THANKS!) 

Of all the songs that the Beatles released, this was their biggest hit. Why? They took a sad song….and made it better! How did they make it better? They used the Power of the Na!

(And you really should check out the uninterested girls at the 3:43 mark of the video. They are very interesting in their uninterestingness.)

COMING UP NEXT: Going for a drive up I-78.
