THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

On June 29th, 2017 I began publishing my day by day countdown of the 1000 best songs in the world ever, which came to it’s end on March 24th, 2020, with the revealing of the worlds best ever song, this is how it all began.

THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
1000-The First Class-Beach Baby.
1974-Number 13 single.
Best Bit-At 3.19.The best Surf song The Beach Boys never wrote.
Beach Baby was co-written by John Carter, born John Shakespeare, on October 20th,1942, and his wife Gillian who wrote the lyrics. Carter is a prolific songwriter, with many hit songs to his name, including ‘Let’s Go to San Francisco,’ a hit for The Flowerpot Men, ‘Funny How Love Can Be,’ for the Ivy League, and ‘Knock, knock, Who’s There,’ for Mary Hopkin. He was a member of The Ivy League in the 1960’s, when they provided backing vocals for The Who on their 1965 song ‘I Can’t Explain.’ Carter’s voice can also be heard singing the lead vocal on the New Vaudeville Band’s 1966 Number 4 hit ‘Winchester Cathedral.’
When Beach Baby was recorded there was no band called ‘The First Class,'(a band was later put together to promote the song and go on tour,) the lead vocals are sung by session musician Tony Burrows, who was also the lead vocal on Edison Lighthouses’ 1970 Number 1 ‘Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes.’
Beach Baby maybe the most happy go lucky summer song you will ever hear, but it’s lyrics are sad.The narrator is reminiscing about the time he was in love, and he thought that she loved him too, but they drifted apart, and now he wonders if she even remembers who he is.
‘That’s where you told me that you’d wear my ring I guess you don’t remember anything.’
