the excitement of change

     In Wikipedia article on the Beatles' song "I Want to Hold Your Hand" it says --

--------------------->  In his book Revolution in the Head, Ian MacDonald wrote that the song "electrified American pop," adding, "every American artist...asked about 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' has said much the same:  it altered everything, ushering in a new era and changing their lives."


     Bob Dylan said:  "They were doing things nobody was doing.  Their chords were outrageous, just outrageous, and their harmonies made it all valid."



...The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson recalled his initial reaction to the song:  "I flipped.  It was like a shock went through my system...I immediately knew that everything had changed"....

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love --


I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend
If it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend
If it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love


I'll give you all I've got to give
If you say you love me too
I may not have a lot to give
But what I've got I'll give to you
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love


Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no, no, no, no



Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money
Money can't buy me love


Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so
Can't buy me love, no, no, no, no


Say you don't need no diamond rings
And I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of things
That money just can't buy
I don't care too -- much for money
Money can't buy me love


Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love, oh
