LIVERPOOL — Iconic rock group The Beatles have released their first song in decades, an AI-assisted remix of one of their classic tracks called ‘Please Please Me frfr.’
“We’re thrilled to announce our first new song in years,” said Paul McCartney, struggling to operate the computer his Zoom call was originating from. “When they showed us this new AI stuff, I said ‘Wickadeewoo, that bugger’s carrying a tune!’ We turned it loose on some of our old recordings, and low and behold, here’s this new song. It sounds a little funny to me, but Ringo liked it so I said ‘What the hey.’”
The track, surprise released this morning, is a mostly faithful recreation of the 1963 chart topper ‘Please Please Me’, with some notable additions.
“Ooh, those bass drops are sick as fuck,” said Russ Wood, an online music vlogger in their live reaction video to ‘Please Please Me frfr’, uploaded earlier today. “This song slaps for the most part. The deepfake John Lennon stuff was weird where they added new parts, but I thought Ice Spice did a really nice job on her verse, so overall it’s not bad. Not bad at all.”
As of press time, the remaining members of The Beatles had also signed a new Twitch partnership and released a teaser video on their TikTok channel that seems to indicate they’re launching a new cryptocurrency soon.
