The Beatles – Besame Mucho

• 0
  Memory:Years ago on the first evening of a vacatation in La Paz, Mexico, we were eating dinner on a patio of a restaurant, when an elderly musician came up to our table and asked us if there was a song he could play for us. Being in celebratory moods, my wife humored him and told him to sing whatever he wanted. He started mumbling and fiddling with the guitar strings, and after a couple minutes we realized he was trying to sing "Besame Mucho." Afterwards we gave me what change we had - he looked at us pathetically and told us it wasn't enough. We had to call the waiter to get more change, and ended up giving him a farily large sum of money, considering what a poor musician he was. Because of that, THIS version of Besame Mucho has become 'our song' and kicked off a mixed CD of love songs I made for her birthday.

  General Comment:I like Dean Martin's version but I'd have to say that this one is my favorite. The energy is so great a little bit different from the rest of the Beatles' more 'canon' songs.

  General Comment:From 2:24 to 2:32, what Ringo and Paul did here is so good it's frightening.

  General Comment:No way, I didn't know the Beatles wrote this. My spanish teacher sang it all in spanish, and we had to try to translate it.
  
  Beautiful song by the way.
