This one is *only* meant for fun. Yes. Sonny & Cher. (Almost) rolled into one. Like 1967. Sort of ...

Lyrics
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-de, la-de-da-de-da
Charleston was once the rage, ah-huh
History has turned the page, ah-huh
The miniskirt's the current thing, ah-huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, ah-huh
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-de, la-de-da-de-da
The grocery store's the super mart, ah-huh
Little girls still break their hearts, ah-huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
(No one knows how to keep the score : Dyl updated/customized)
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-de, la-de-da-de-da
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cries, "Hey buddy, have you got a dime?"
And the beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La-de-da-de-de, la-de-da-de-da
And the beat goes on (yes, the beat goes on)
And the beat goes on
The beat goes on
And the beat goes on...

When you sing it always sounds great.  Love the late 60s to mid 70s music.

I, myself, prefer this to Sonny And Cher, as this has more of an alternative psychadelic vibe than the original.   Great job here.

Kind of reminds me of Beck.. who was probably influenced by this song too.. and you regenerated the beat and all.  You gave it full justice and then some.. and I prefer it to the original as well... You got the beat! ( no pun intended)  Would be interesting if some lyrics were changed for what's going on now.. on 2nd thought..naw
