Musician Micah Tyler had no idea when he made a hilarious video about millennials for his church that it would catch fire the way it has.
Set to the tune of the classic Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da written by Paul McCartney the singer lampoons man buns, Instagram posts and yoga pants while he sings Gotta Love Millennials.

I liked most Beatles music right up through Revolver and Rubber Soul. Magical Mystery Tour isn’t one that I cared for. But that White Album is an abomination of tunes that no other band could have gotten away with unloading on the public. If that had been their first album the Beatles’ career would have died on the launch pad
After that, the band lost me. Sgt. Pepper (1967) yielded some good things but doesn't stand the test of time. After that, they were just another aging pop-rock band with just a few nuggets among the dreck.
I think when The Beatles stopped touring (1966), they lost their creative spark. They got too caught up in their bohemian lifestyle to produce anything good again. Basically your average pot-smokers. They got lazy, bloated and full of themselves.
Bob Dylan on the other hand just keeps touring and touring. He still puts out good stuff too.
Standing and applauding...well done!
This video is great.
for later
The White Album includes
Back in the U.S.S.R.
While my Guitar Gently Weeps
Blackbird
Rocky Raccoon
Revolution
I think the White Album is a product of its time. Bands were getting into drugs, Indian mysticism, etc. I still think there is an album's worth of good stuff on the White Album. The one that never should have been released IMO is Let it Be. I think most of that album is just The Beatles trying some stuff in between albums that simply didn't work. Aside from a few songs that could have been singles, there was not enough for an album there.
That is the funniest thing I’ve heard in awhile! Kudos to Micah Tyler!
very good video. diagnoses the problem/symptoms...but also gives the hope of a cure.
That’s as succinct an expression of my own opinion of the Beatles as I could ever hope to write. You said it better than I would have.
I hear a complexity in their Revolver and Rubber Soul music that is entirely missing in their later tunes, the odious Obladi Oblada being maybe the most moronic example. I can feel brain cells shutting down simply due to exposure to that monstrosity.
“Bob Dylan on the other hand just keeps touring and touring. He still puts out good stuff too”
July 1968- Music from Big Pink, The Band (well, almost Dylan)
versus
November 1968- The Beatles White Album
no contest
