Roy: I did not see your question about your namesake until I read through just now. Was the answer you are looking for Zig Zag?

and their followup....

HOLD ON! 1966
U.S. film. Herman's Hermits version of "Help." The British group is on tour in the U.S. when NASA decides to name a rocket after them. Huh?

Kent

Never seen the film but I have the soundtrack, The Fourmost number and the Cilla Number and the Fourmost number are excellent but never appeared anywhere else. Forme one of the best numbers on the album is All Quiet On The Mersey front by George Martin Orch. Always loved his version of This Boy on HDN's but it wasn't on the soundtrack.

Scene where Ringo does a runner and is seen walking through a park on his own it plays in background.

Yes Roy, that is a great theme song, Ringo's Theme.

brammy · Post by **brammy** » Sun Jul 31, 2005 9:21 am

I agree... Ringo's Theme is one of Martin's best.
Almost as good as his keyboard playing on a number of Beatles songs.... The subject of George Martin's contribution/influence to the Beatles is huge and needs its own thread.

Paul: of course they're Jerry's legs. You cantell because he's holding them up around his neck, just like his guitar. "Ferry Cross the Mersey" was a small hit in the U.S in 1965. I sang it in my band at the time.

Seaside Swingers (a k a Every Day's a Holiday)
1965 British Invasion pop stars Freddie and the Dreamers appear as five musical, madcap chefs and sing two numbers, while Liverpool beat group the Mojos supply some hard teenage blues during a swinging dance club scene.

A group of high-spirited youngsters finds friendship, love, and music together while working summer jobs at a holiday camp in this Merseybeat musical.
