No. I would never play that in my car even with the windows closed...
It's a great track...
One of my favourite Beatles tunes. I know it off by heart.
The only Beatles song I hate is Revolution number 9. The ONLY one of the 203 Beatles songs I refuse to listen to. I hate Yoko's influence.
I Am the Walrus is the only song that matters...
He murdered that. Rough guitar work and a voice resemblant of chalk on a blackboard. Just my opinion of course. He got 3 likes on youtube. Family members I expect.... lol...
I wouldn't play that even in Quebec Spence's car...
LOL....
LOL....
Didn’t listen to it personally……
I really like the original though. The whole white album actually.The song, a country-style ballad, is titled from the character's name, which was originally "Rocky Sassoon", but McCartney changed it to "Rocky Raccoon" because he thought "it sounded more like a cowboy". Former 13th Floor Elevators drummer Danny Thomas claims the name "Rocky" was inspired by Roky Erickson, the American rock band's then-vocalist and -guitarist. According to Beatles historian Kenneth Womack, McCartney drew his inspiration for the song from Robert W. Service's poem "The Shooting of Dan McGrew". Canadian photographer and filmmaker Paul Saltzman, author of The Beatles in Rishikesh and The Beatles in India, has expressed the belief that Paul McCartney based the lyrics for "Rocky Raccoon" on Saltzman's description to him in Rishikesh of his girlfriend having recently left him for another man. The Old West-style honky-tonk piano was played by producer George Martin "Rocky Raccoon" is also the last Beatles song to feature John Lennon's harmonica playing.
The lyrics describe a conflict over a love triangle, in which Rocky's girlfriend "Lil" McGill (known to the public as Nancy) leaves him for a man named Dan, who punches Rocky in the eye. Rocky vows revenge and takes a room at the local saloon, finding a Gideon Bible there. He bursts into the room Dan and Nancy are sharing and challenges Dan to a showdown, but Dan outdraws and shoots him. A drunken doctor attends to Rocky, who insists that the wound is only a minor one. Stumbling back to his room, Rocky sees the Bible and interprets it as a sign that he will recover.

Good idea. Great topic for sure and I have found some artists who I wasn’t familiar with that I really like. I did remember posting this song before but wasn’t positive. Only took me 15 minutes to find it , lol.
