"Ding Dong, Ding Dong" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, written as a New Year's Eve singalong and released in December 1974 on his album Dark Horse. It was the album's lead single in Britain and some other European countries, and the second single, after "Dark Horse", in North America. A large-scale production, the song incorporates aspects of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound technique, particularly his Christmas recordings from 1963. In addition, some Harrison biographers view "Ding Dong" as an attempt to emulate the success of two glam rock anthems from the 1973–74 holiday season: "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade, and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday". The song became only a minor hit in Britain and the United States, although it was a top-twenty hit elsewhe

  • "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison, written as a New Year's Eve singalong and released in December 1974 on his album Dark Horse. It was the album's lead single in Britain and some other European countries, and the second single, after "Dark Horse", in North America. A large-scale production, the song incorporates aspects of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound technique, particularly his Christmas recordings from 1963. In addition, some Harrison biographers view "Ding Dong" as an attempt to emulate the success of two glam rock anthems from the 1973–74 holiday season: "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade, and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday". The song became only a minor hit in Britain and the United States, although it was a top-twenty hit elsewhere in the world. Harrison took the lyrics to "Ding Dong" from engravings he found at his nineteenth-century home, Friar Park, in Oxfordshire – a legacy of its eccentric founder, Frank Crisp. The song's "Ring out the old, ring in the new" refrain has invited interpretation as Harrison distancing himself from his past as a member of the Beatles, and as the singer farewelling his first marriage, to Pattie Boyd. As on much of the Dark Horse album, Harrison's vocals on the recording were hampered by a throat condition, due partly to his having overextended himself on business projects such as his recently launched record label, Dark Horse Records. Recorded at his Friar Park studio, the track includes musical contributions from Tom Scott, Ringo Starr, Alvin Lee, Ron Wood and Jim Keltner. On release, the song met with an unfavourable response from many music critics, while others considered its musical and lyrical simplicity to be a positive factor for a contemporary pop hit. For the first time with one of his singles, Harrison made a promotional video for "Ding Dong", which features scenes of him miming to the track at Friar Park while dressed in a variety of Beatle-themed costumes. The song still receives occasional airplay over the holiday season. The video appears on the DVD in Harrison's eight-disc Apple Years 1968–75 box set, released in September 2014. (en)

  • Ding Dong, Ding Dong, talvolta abbreviata come Ding Dong, è un brano musicale di George Harrison del suo album Dark Horse del 1974. Pubblicato come singolo, è arrivato alla 36ª posizione negli USA ed alla 38ª nel Regno Unito. Fu il principale singolo estratto dal disco in Gran Bretagna e in altre nazioni europee, e il secondo singolo, dopo la title track, in Nord America. Produzione su larga scala, la canzone incorpora elementi della tecnica Wall of Sound di Phil Spector, in particolare delle sue produzioni dei singoli natalizi del 1963. In aggiunta, alcuni biografi di Harrison videro Ding Dong come un tentativo di emulare il successo di due "inni natalizi" glam rock del 1973–74: Merry Xmas Everybody degli Slade, e I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday dei Wizzard. Il brano divenne un successo minore nel Regno Unito e negli Stati Uniti, sebbene entrò nella top 20 in molte nazioni del mondo. Harrison trasse ispirazione per il testo di Ding Dong da delle iscrizioni rinvenute nella sua residenza gotico-vittoriana, Friar Park, nella contea dell'Oxfordshire – incise dall'eccentrico primo proprietario Frank Crisp. Il verso: «Ring out the old, ring in the new» ("Congeda il vecchio, festeggia il nuovo"), che si direbbe un semplice invito a festeggiare l'anno nuovo, è stato interpretato sia come un distanziamento di Harrison dal suo pesante passato di membro dei Beatles, sia come l'addio al suo matrimonio con Pattie Boyd. Come nella maggior parte dell'album Dark Horse, la prestazione vocale di Harrison è condizionata da problemi di gola, dovuti in parte al suo essersi esposto troppo in progetti di business come la sua etichetta discografica lanciata di recente, Dark Horse Records. Registrata nel suo studio di registrazione casalingo a Friar Park, la traccia include contributi musicali da parte di , Ringo Starr, Alvin Lee, Ron Wood e Jim Keltner. Alla sua pubblicazione, la canzone fu recensita negativamente dalla maggior parte della critica, mentre altri considerarono la semplicità musicale e lirica del brano, un fattore positivo per un successo pop. Per la prima volta in occasione di uno dei suoi singoli, Harrison girò un videoclip promozionale per Ding Dong, dove egli viene mostrato mentre esegue la canzone nella sua residenza di Friar Park, vestito con vari costumi dei Beatles, e anche completamente nudo eccezion fatta per un paio di pelosi doposcì. Il video è stato incluso nel cofanetto box set The Apple Years 1968-75, pubblicato nel settembre 2014. (it)
  • «Ding Dong, Ding Dong» — песня Джорджа Харрисона, вышедшая в виде сингла 6 декабря 1974 года на лейбле Apple Records. 20 декабря 1974 года песня также вышла на альбоме Dark Horse. «Ding Dong, Ding Dong» была написана Харрисоном как новогодняя песня и часто проигравалась на радио в рождественский сезон 1974 года. В США сингл поднялся до 36-й позиции, в Великобритании — до 38-й, а в Германии — до 31-й. Также был снят видеоклип, в котором Харрисон «тряхнул стариной», появившись в типичном битловском костюме и сыграв на двенадцатиструнной гитаре Rickenbacker. Текст песни Джордж позаимствовал большей частью с настенных надписей в своём поместье Фрайар-парк. В записи песни приняли участие (фортепиано); , и Рон Вуд на гитарах, Клаус Форман на бас-гитаре, Ринго Старр и Джим Келтнер на ударных и на духовых инструментах. На стороне «Б» сингла вышла песня «I Don’t Care Anymore», в которой Харрисон выразил свою усталость и разочарование от длительной судебной битвы из-за авторских прав на песню «My Sweet Lord». (ru)

  • Harrison created a massive arrangement for "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" that included a revived "Awaiting on You All" guitar orchestra … chiming bells, and an unnamed army of backup singers intoning the cheerleader chorus … The bad news was that Harrison's voice was on the road to oblivion, and the critics didn't get the joke at all. (en)
  • I was just sitting by the fire, playing the guitar, and I looked up on the wall, and there it was, carved into the wall in oak ... I thought, "God, it took me [four] years of looking at that before I realised it was a song" … [Friar Park] has got all these great things written all over the place. (en)
