"Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy, 'till we see the sun. I know we only met but let's pretend it's love. And never,never, never, stop for anyone. Tonight let's get some, and live while we're young. Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh"-Live While We're Young; One Direction.

Which one sounds more profound to you? That one will win.

or how about this one for comparrison:

why dont we do it in the road?

Fair point, but The Beatles have far more profound, complex, and emotional songs than One Direction will ever have. Choosing a simple Beatles songs(which are among many) doesn't diminish that another song is just as simple. I'd actually say that One Direction's music is dumb, which is different from simple.

theyre too cocky about winning three successive campaigns,Aussie bowling stocks are at their healthiest in over a decade...,even the Aussie change bowlers are as fast as the Broad and Anderson...
and why bring out four bowlers who are over 6'6" and dont play the other two at the WACA with its bouncy wicket????...the management are idiots!
they need to bring in Geoff Boycott to run the ECB,but they wont because, firstly:he speaks his mind, and secondly: he's from Yorkshire!

the only thing we could ever hope for was a drawn series this time round(my prediction was originally 2-2, which doesnt seem likely now were 2-0 down...

Angry was too strong a word. Yet he wanted his home country to win, as any one would. He's not too phased by it.

i totally agree with you kelandwood...i just picked the dumbest dumbass Beatle song lyrics i could....

even McCartney's stupid new "new" album is better than One Direction and he's 51yrs into a career, theyre in their 3rd year(one should be over the hill, the other at their peak...says it all IMO)

I'm honestly even baffled that someone would ask this question. When The Beatles hit America, the public obsessed over them. Okay maybe some young girls obsess over One Direction, and they are doing well for themselves financially. But they called it Beatlemania for a reason. No band has ever been bigger than them, for better or for worse. Hearing their names together is just a joke by now. "Oh my god, The Beatles have to stop copying One Direction"-random young girl on the internet.
