Richard Starkey,MBE (born 7 July 1940), known professionally as Ringo Starr, is an English musician, singer, songwriter and actor who gained worldwide fame as the drummer for the Beatles. He occasionally sang lead vocals, usually for one song on an album, including "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Yellow Submarine" and their cover of "Act Naturally". He also wrote the Beatles' songs "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden", and is credited as a co-writer of others, including "What Goes On" and "Flying".
Starr was twice afflicted by life-threatening illnesses during childhood, and as a result of prolonged hospitalisations fell behind in school. In 1955, he entered the workforce and briefly held a position with British Rail before securing an apprenticeship at a Liverpool equipment manufacturer. Soon afterwards, he became interested in the UK skiffle craze, developing a fervent admiration for the genre. In 1957, he cofounded his first band, the Eddie Clayton Skiffle Group, which earned several prestigious local bookings before the fad succumbed to American rock and roll by early 1958.
"Boris the Spider" is a song written by The Who's bass guitarist, John Entwistle. It appears as the second track of their 1966 album A Quick One. This song is claimed to be Entwistle's first composition, and became a staple of live shows. This song, along with "My Wife", "Heaven and Hell" and "The Quiet One", were Entwistle's biggest songs to perform live. "The Quiet One" was written to replace this song and "My Wife", which Entwistle had become quite tired of singing. Though this song was popular, it was not released as a single in the USA and the UK. In Japan, "Boris the Spider" was released as the B-side to "Whiskey Man" in 1967.
"Boris the Spider" was written after Entwistle had been out drinking with The Rolling Stones' bass guitarist, Bill Wyman. They were making up funny names for animals when Entwistle came up with "Boris the Spider". The song was written by Entwistle in six minutes and is considered a horror song.
The chorus of "Boris the Spider" was sung in basso profundo by Entwistle (which possibly helped give birth to the "death growl"), with a middle eight of "creepy crawly" sung in falsetto. These discordant passages and the black comedy of the theme made the song a stage favourite, and the only song from the album to be played throughout The Who's live career.
Nippon Budokan Hall, June 27th 1995. "Boris the Spider" is a song written by The Who's bassist, John Entwistle. It appears as the second track of their 1966 album, A Quick One. This song is claimed to be John's first composition, but "Whiskey Man" was written first. Pete Townshend had told John that he needed to write one more song for the album. So, he quickly ran home and wrote this song about a spider. The song was a live staple. This song, "My Wife" and "The Quiet One" were John's biggest songs to perform live (in fact, "The Quiet One" was written to replace this song and "My Wife", which John had become tired of singing). Though this song was popular, it was never released as a single in the USA and the UK . In Japan, Boris the Spider was released as the b-side to "Whiskey Man" ...

One and a-two and a-one, two, three, four, all right
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah
Up came a butcher with her ju jus alight, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna
Felt like a bohunk but I kept up my cool, ah-hah-hah
Green as a frog, man, I was back into school, ah-hah-hah
Zipped up my mouth 'cause I was starting to drool, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna
Get it up, get it up, get it up, get it up
She said she loved me but I knew she was lying, ah-hah-hah
Felt like an arab who was dancing through zion, ah-hah-hah
Don't call no doctor when you just feel like crying, ah-hah-hah
It's all da-da-da-down to goodnight Vienna
Get it up
(Keep it up)
Get it up
(Keep it up)
Get it up
(Keep it up)
Get it up
(Keep it up)
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-hah-hah
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-hah-hah
Up came a butcher with his needles in sight, ah-hah-hah
