FuNK YeSTeRDaY
© Lennon/McCartney 1965 (Arranged by mr christopher & Atsushi Suzuki).

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Whoa whoa whao
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said, something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday. Hey!

SOLO

Whoa whoa whao why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said, something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

I believe in yes-ter-dae-yea.
I believe, I believe, I believe I believe in yesterday-e-ya
I believe in yes-ter-dae-yea. Oooh.

17) BONUS TRACK:  FuNK YeSTeRDaY
(Lennon/McCartney) (arranged by mr christopher & Atsushi Suzuki)

The most recorded song in pop history. I would have never guessed that the OBViOUS would record this song. However at the request of Atsushi Suzuki, I agreed to add the song to our repertoire, but only under one condition: he'd let me re-arrange it ... or "OBViOUS-ize it" as we would say. He agreed and even added greatly to the arrangement's climactic ending.

We purposefully avoided the usual sentimental interpretation of the song, making ours a bit more gritty and bluesy with a funky groove. We also lovingly borrowed a bit of En VOGUE's masterful Hip Hop vocal arrangement. For the finishing touch, a humorous Brain May/Steve Vai styled guitar solo. As for our re-titling of this song...? Well, the reasons for that are best left to the imagination.
 
"I believe I believe, I believe in yes-ter-da-ee-yea-ee."
「昨日まではよかった。」

Recorded on December 27, 2007.

17) BONUS TRACK:  FuNK YeSTeRDaY ボーナス・トラック: ファンク・イエスタデー レノン/マッカートニー)
(レノン/マッカートニー)(アレンジ by ミスター・クリストファー&アツシ・スズキ)

ポップミュージックの歴史の中で、最もカバーされている曲でしょう。我々がこれを収録するとは夢にも思いませんでした。でも、メンバーの鈴木 篤司からリクエストされ、レパートリーに入れることは賛成しましたが、条件をつけました: わたしがアレンジし直すこと。・・・「OBViOUS色に染める」とでも言いましょうか。アツシは同意して、新しいアレンジに最高のエンディングまで加えてくれました。

ファンキーなグルーヴで、もっとザラザラでブルージーな感じにすることで、意図的にこの曲の持つセンチメンタルな解釈は省きました。また、アン・ヴォーグの素晴らしいヒップ・ホップのボーカル・アレンジにヒントを得ています。最後の仕上げに、ブライアン・メイ/スティーヴ・ヴァイ風のギターソロを加えました。タイトルの変更について・・?そうですね、その理由はご想像にお任せします。
