Ringo Tribute Songs (Episode 93)

From 1963 to 1967 hundreds of songs about the Beatles, but not by
the Beatles, were issued by no-name artists on tiny fly-by-night
labels. An unimaginable amount of these mop top dedications were
simply trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel of Beatlemania
Bucks. And while the whole band received an unending amount of
adulation from the masses of music makers, one member had an almost
metaphysical magnetism for bad musicians: Mr. Ringo Starr. In this
episode, we are going to explore America’s Jingoism for Ringoism.
The ladies who love the goofball percussionist and the men who love
to hate him. Odes to the drummer who is better than the best. Or at
least better than Pete Best. And the scores of singers who can’t
possibly imagine a better subject matter than those shaggy locks
and that Gomer Pyle grin. Listening to this music...it don't come
easy. But we’re going to brave the bewildering and backbreaking
Beatlemania Bacchanalia to bring you a bounty of the best
bedeviling Beatle bauble by bewitched Beatle buffs. In this
episode, Ringo Songs.  Highway Hi-Fi is a proud member of the
