Six Fingered Man

Post by LessThanZero »

When Elvis does the count-in "1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4", how come he didn't count in like "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6"

Or even 1,2,3,2,2,3 like in All The Rage.

OR one of my personal favorites

"Sugarplum fairies, sugarplum fairies"


As far as straight numericals though, Paul's count in on I Saw Her Standing There has got to be rated higher than George's on Revolver, and John's on Give Peace a Chance.

The inspiration for the song???



"Sixfinger. Sixfinger. Man alive. How did I ever get along with five?"

What a great find, nunki!!

This looks awfully familiar. I think I might have had one of these as a kid! (Jesus, how old am I?)

Anyone got the chords to this one? One of my favourite EC tunes.
