"Bigger Than The Beatles" Lyrics

/ 5
Song updated, review now!
He plays guitar at a hotel bar
For out of towners and business men
He struts and sings to his drum machine
But he won't make it big at the Holiday Inn
But she thinks that he looks like Elvis
When he runs his fingers through that jet black hair
And sometimes she forgets an order
'Cause she's so struck by him that she stops and stares

Chorus:
They gotta love bigger than the Beatles
Wild and free like a Rolling Stone
They gotta love takes 'em higher than the Eagles
Ain't life such a sweet sweet song
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na yeah yeah yeah

She pours some drinks, loads up the sink
And dreams of being a movie star
Her mama said she'd knock 'em dead
But Hollywood hasn't called so far
But he thinks she's as pretty as a picture
When she wipes down tables in her apron strings
And sometimes he forgets a chorus
'Cause she's shining like a beauty on the silver screen

Chorus

No you won't find their names on the walk of fame
But they ain't missing much
'Cause when the lights go down on tinsel town
All you need is love

Chorus

About"Bigger Than The Beatles" is a song written by Jeb Stuart Anderson and Steve Dukes, and recorded by American country music artist Joe Diffie. It was released in November 1995 as the lead single from the album, Life's So Funny. The song reached Number One on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart, becoming the fifth and final Number One single of Diffie's career. It also reached number-one on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.

The song talks about an amateur rocker and his bartender girlfriend. The narrator states that the couple has a love "bigger than the Beatles".

The background chorus is intentionally reminiscent of the Beatles' She Loves You.

Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly gave the song a C-minus rating, with her review calling it a "lighthearted tale of an amateur rocker and his shopgirl squeeze" and "just a lame device to evoke the names of beloved rock heroes."[1]

This song was parodied by country music parodist Cledus T. Judd on his album I Stoled This Record as "(She's Got a Butt) Bigger Than the Beatles".

The music video was directed by Deaton-Flanigen Productions and premiered in late 1995.

"Bigger Than the Beatles" debuted at number 58 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of December 2, 1995.
