Tag Archives: They Should Have Shot Paul

The Strange Boys

Let’s go back in time and play a fictitious game where conceivably you’re placed in a comprising situation where you can influence the thoughts of Mark David Chapman, the clinically depressed and obsessed Beatle murderer. You have no choice but to either off Paul McCartney or John Lennon by controlling the voices in Chapman’s head. But alas, you try and work outside the experiment and your repeated attempts to voice the idea of shooting Ringo Star, the worst Beatle, fails. Now enter The Strange Boys an American garage, blues, rock ‘n’ roll band.  Their resulting song, Should Have Shot Paul, transfixes all those guilt ridden thoughts into a 1min 54sec melody of beautiful agony.
