Reading the latest issue of the New In Chess magazine,I came across this intresting piece.A guy,Bob Basalla,tried to write 'chess lyrics' to as many beatle songs as he possibly could.Enjoy his version of 'With a little help from my friends':
/With a little help from defense/
What do I do when my game is much worse
Do i give up and walk out the hall?
Step from your board so that we may converse
I will share how to handle it all
Oh,I get by with a little help from defense
Reply with a little help from defense
I'll find a try with a little help from defense
What do you think when your kingside's aflame?
Does it worry you to be exposed?
How will you feel by the end of the game,
Are you sad because you're getting hosed?
No,I'll slip by with a little help from defense
Stay spry with a little help from defense
I'll get a tie with a little help from defense
Do you need any study?
There is no puzzle to solve
Could you teach anybody?
You just need iron resolve
Could you believe when there's no hope in sight?
Yes,I'm certain that it's just a state of mind
How will you feel when you pull out your fight?
I can't tell ya 'cause I'm still behind
So I keep pride with a little help from defense
Turn tide with a little help from defense
I'm gonna slide with a little help from defense
Do you pleade inside,buddy?
You must rely on yourself
Are you steel,are you putty?
You can't buy will of the shelf
Oh,I'll be sly with a little help from defense
Stay dry with a little help from defense
I'll see ten ply with a little help from defense
Oh,I'll get by with a little help from defense
With a little help from defense!
Great,isn't it! 😵
Now,let's see some of rhp's creative minds try to write 'chess lyrics'.
Doesn't have to be a beatles song,just any song of your choice.
Anyone intrested? 🙂

i guess i dont have your talent😉😉😉
shaul
It's the best I could come up with on short notice and a hangover.
Especially for Skeeter...
Someday, bloody someday
I can’t believe the moves today
Oh, I can’t play a game, ‘cause everyone’s away
How long...
How long must I sit and wait?
How long? how long...
’cause tonight...this game I could have won
Tonight...
Two moves away from a check mate
A queen and knight just awaitin’ there sure fate,
But they don’t heed the battle cry
It gets right on my
Gets right on my tits and makes me sigh
Someday, bloody someday
Someday, bloody someday
Somedy, bloody someday (someday bloody someday...)
(allright lets move!)
And the game of chess is nearly done
There’ve really lost, but tell me when will I have won
The dragging out of games is really crap
One more day and I really think that I will snap
Someday, bloody someday
Someday, bloody someday
How long...
How long ‘till they accept their fate?
How long? how long...
’cause tonight...I tell you I could have won
Tonight...
Tonight...
Someday, bloody someday (tonight)
Tonight
Someday, bloody someday (tonight)
(come get some!)
Move your piece you sorry ass
Resign and let me win
Resign and let me win
Just resign and let me win
(someday, bloody someday)
Move your piece you sorry ass
(someday, bloody someday)
Someday, bloody someday
Someday, bloody someday
(Why don’t you move!)
And it’s true I can’t do much
When you are friction and I abide
And today you hear me cry
I sit here waiting, in my nose I pry
The bloody game is really done (someday, bloody someday)
Quit your stalling, I HAVE WON (someday, bloody someday)
On...
Someday bloody someday
Someday bloody someday..

WOOOOOOWWWW! I know Bob Basalla personally. He lives in Cleveland and we play together at a chess club every once in a blue moon. Really nice guy, good lyrics too! Small world after all...now I have to show up there on Tuesday to congratulate him! 😀
