The Beat Goes On, And On, And On …

Just can’t stop the beat!  Initially issued as a single in 1967, The Beat Goes On quickly became a Billboard Hot 100 hit, eventually peaking at number 6. Given its universal acclaim and unanimous recognition as the greatest song ever written, one can only ponder which five songs could possibly have ranked above. But hell, it was the 60’s. Everyone and his brother were running around with heads full of acid. So who can really make sense of any of it? Well, It Ain’t Me, No, No, No.

And The Beat Goes On” appears on Sonny’s tombstone …

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On?!!?
