Careful! This will make you feel old!


 

It's fifty years to the day when a bunch of mob-head boys released their first single, Love Me Do, whose lyrics took the English language to new heights:

Love, love me do / You know I love you / I'll always be true / So please, love me do / Whoa, love me do // Love, love me do / You know I love you / I'll always be true / So please, love me do / Oh, love me do // Someone to love / Somebody new / Someone to love / Someone like you // Love, love me do / You know I love you / I'll always be true / So please, love me do / Oh, love me do // Love, love me do / You know I love you / I'll always be true / So please, love me do / Whoa, love me do / Yeah, love me do / Whoa, love me do.

Whoa indeed! Three years later I became a 'New Australian' and a master of monosyllabic speech myself.
