"All Together Now" is a song by The Beatles written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney. The song was recorded during the band's Magical Mystery Tour period, but remained unreleased until it was included on the "Yellow Submarine EP" in 1969. It reached in 1972, nr. 19 in the Dutch Top-40. Paul McCartney described the song as a children's sing-along with the title phrase inspired by the music hall tradition of asking the audience to join in. He also described a "subcurrent" in the song, a dual-meaning where "we are all together now." "All Together Now" has been covered by various artists. Versions intended for children have been released by the Sugarbeats, The Bingo Kids and a German group, Joy Unlimited, did a heavy funk-rock ("an oddball obscure Beatles' cover").

"Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)" is a 1973 song by Bruce Springsteen, from his "The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle" album, and is especially famed as a concert number for Springsteen and The E Street Band.

Never released as a single and generally unknown upon its initial album release, "Rosalita" began to get FM radio airplay when an advance version of "Born to Run" was given out to rock radio stations. As Springsteen gained commercial success, "Rosalita" became one of his most popular airplay tracks, and is still heard on classic rock radio.
