Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da


1. the beatles experimented with many musical styles during a time when rock’n’roll was starting to expand beyond the original forms known as rockabilly, soul and other genres. hard rock,heavy metal, ska, psychedelic rock and proto-punk were emerging. this party tune has been described by stewart copeland of the police as a brilliant example of early “white reggae”. it has lyrics that are kinda kooky and there’s a lot of gonzo background singsong nonsence, too. a playful ditty that critics shouldn’t take too seriously. it’s just plain fun. this tune’s t-tle has various other spellings such as “obladi oblada”. it has a simple cheerful free-for-all air to it that today’s corporate disposable entertainment business doesn’t allow.

2. a simple catchall term that means the same as “life goes on”, “oh well”, “la-di-da”, “oh yeah”, “whatever” and so on – expressed in a casual, unannoyed, devil may care, dismissive and blow it off manner and att-tude. nothing to get hung up about, but it’s not the same as saying “sh-t happens”. .
1. during the summertime when i was 14, me, my mom and my sister were sitting on plastic buckets and peeling apples. the radio was playing ob-la-di, ob-la-da by the fab four.

2. anton: hey look at this! bradgelena are adopting yet another third world orphan. also, madonna has found a brand new lover!

jeff: yeah yeah yeah. ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on. yeah!
