It’s a hit number by the Beatles.

Among their many up-tempo songs, I chose this bright and comical one.

The opening piano is modeled after a British jazz number, and the saxophone solo in the interlude involves the renowned player Ronnie Scott—making it a song with many jazz-related anecdotes.

This song was also the first music video ever aired on MTV.

Judging by the title, it’s a rather ironic and aggressive choice.

By 2000, it had been broadcast on MTV over one million times.

The song has also been used in Japanese TV dramas.

VacationThe Go-Go’s

This is a signature song by the American girl band, The Go-Go’s.

They were the first all-female band to reach No.

1 on the U.S.

album charts.

However, due to conflicts among the members and issues with alcohol and drugs, they soon broke up.

CenterfoldThe J. Geils Band

The song title “Centerfold” refers to what in Japan is called a magazine’s sealed center spread.

You can also guess the content from the Japanese title “Fallen Angel.” This track became their biggest—and only—hit.

They may be a one-hit wonder, but it spent six consecutive weeks at No.
