Old Brown Shoe [The Beatles Cover]
Korn · Other Songs - KoRn
but right is only half of what's wrong.
I want a short-haired girl who sometimes wears it twice as long.
now I'm steppin' outta this old brown shoe,
baby, I'm in love with you.
so glad you came here, won't be the same now,
I'm telling you.
You know you pick me up
from where some try to drag me down
and when I see your smile
replacin' every thoughtless frown
you got me excapin from the zoo
baby, I'm in love with you
so glad you came here
won't be the same now, i'm tellin you
If I grow up I'll be a singer,
and wear rings on every finger.
not worryin' what they or you say,
I'll live an' love and maybe someday,
who knows baby,
you may comfort me
I may appear to be imperfect,
my love is sumthin' you can't reject
I'm changin' faster than the weather
if you and me should get together
who knows baby, you may comfort me.....
I want a love that's yours,
to miss is really sumthin' i'd hate.
I'll get an early start,
makin' sure that i'm not late (Hey!)
for your sweet top lip I'm in the queue,
baby i'm in love with you
So glad you came here,
won't be the same now, I'm tellin' you
(Hey yeah yeahhhh)
Old Brown Shoe [The Beatles Cover]
Korn's 1999 cover of 'Old Brown Shoe' stands as a pivotal moment in the band's discography, marking their transition from hardcore punk to a more melodic, alternative metal sound. By reimagining The Beatles' 1966 track, Korn demonstrated an ability to blend their signature aggression with nostalgic pop sensibilities, a strategy that would define their subsequent work. The recording features the band's characteristic distorted guitars and driving rhythms, yet the underlying melody and structure remain faithful to the original Lennon-McCartney composition. This collaboration with The Beatles not only highlighted Korn's versatility as a cover band but also cemented their reputation for paying homage to classic rock while maintaining their own distinct sonic identity. The song remains a staple of their greatest hits collections and is frequently cited as a key example of their early evolution into mainstream alternative metal.
