The Abbey Road Medley, as performed by 'Beatles Rock Band' experts
The Beatles - ABBEY ROAD MEDLEY
NSC 60 marks a new era for NSC. We've officially surpassed the Eurovision Song Contest, we have more editions than we have current nations, and since Yaponesia's debut, there have been ten times more editions.
But in 60 years of main NSC history, and 3.5 years of real history, arguably the biggest band in the history of the 20th century has yet to make an appearance. We last saw them all for Giggshood in the NSC 60's spinoff, but now they're back for the NSC 60's decade... meet the Beatles.
John Lennon previously made a solo appearance for Swelatie in NSC 14 with 'Imagine', and here joins Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. We whizz ahead now to 1969, where the band releases their penultimate album, Abbey Road, upon which we find Yaponesia's NSC 60 entry, comprising the final nine songs of the album, known together as the Abbey Road Medley.
A guide to the breakdown of the medley:
1. YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY [4:02]
2. SUN KING [2:26]
3. MEAN MR. MUSTARD [1:06]
4. POLYTHENE PAM [1:12]
5. SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW [1:57]
6. GOLDEN SLUMBERS [1:31]
7. CARRY THAT WEIGHT [1:36]
8. THE END [2:20]
9. HER MAJESTY [0:23]
From a personal perspective, it might be surprising to see Yaponesia send such a commercially successful band xD But if there's any artist who reminds me of my childhood, then it's definitely the Beatles, and Abbey Road was also my favourite album
Just this summer, I went to the Mathew Street free festival in Liverpool, where there were many Beatles cover bands, and I also got to see the Bootleg Beatles, who are a lookalike band, so that was all good fun in reviving interest, as well as the Beatles Rock Band game where the video for this entry comes from ^^
So yeah, this one's an entry from the heart, and the first time since NSC 42 that I've sent an entry known from before I joined NSC!
Despite both the record-breaking length of the song, and the record-breaking length of this essay, I hope you enjoy Yaponesia's NSC 60 entry!

You Never Give Me Your Money:
You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation
I break down
Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today (yes it did)
One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven
Sun King:You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down
I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation
I break down
Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today (yes it did)
One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven
Here comes the sun king
Here comes the sun king
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy

Quando paramucho mi amore de felice corazon
Mundo paparazzi mi amore chica ferdy parasol
Cuesto obrigado tanta mucho que can eat it carousel
Mean Mr. Mustard:Here comes the sun king
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man
His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man
Polythene Pam:Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man
His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man
Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah yeah yeah
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built
Yeah yeah yeah
She Came In Through the Bathroom Window:She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah yeah yeah
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built
Yeah yeah yeah
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah
Golden Slumbers:Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Carry That Weight:Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
The End:Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Oh yeah
All right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?
(Love you, love you)
[McCartney solo]
[Harrison solo]
[Lennon solo]
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to
the love you make.
...
Her Majesty:All right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?
(Love you, love you)
[McCartney solo]
[Harrison solo]
[Lennon solo]
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to
the love you make.
...
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
but she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
but she changes from day to day
I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeah,
Someday I'm going to make her mine
but she doesn't have a lot to say
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
but she changes from day to day
I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
Someday I'm going to make her mine, oh yeah,
Someday I'm going to make her mine
