John Lennon in later years put this attack on Paul McCartney in perspective ,which for us that are fans of both of them is a good thing. They were of course the greatest and most influential song writing partnership of the twentieth century and beyond.
Great production work by Phil Spector. The horns even use the same figure in the chorus!! While John holds a sustained note. Being a first-generation fan helps one remember how time passed thru phases and stages. But the modern perspective is indeed handy, as interviews and various puzzle-pieces have continually filled in the pictures:.
John may not have made his initial urges obvious by including cover images of 2 beetles waltzing together, But I believe that his inspiration originally came from conflicted feelings after a few years had passed. Lennon was rightly embarrassed about some of the sentiments in this song years later. But it is no doubt a great track. It just has such an amazing,malevolent feel to it.
Those strings are just awesome. That was him being childish and needing therapy to exorcise his demons. I love the music of the Beatles. There were messages to John on Ram that hit Lennon where he lived.
I believe what John said about it at the time. Not a single fan of that album can explain what those bizarre lyrics mean. Lamest song ever.
And screw George for participating on that song. Lennon WAS a pompous, self-congratulatory prick, talented or not. More than one song on it was controversial at the time one of them has an obviously controversial NOW title and subject matter.
Nothing self-congratulatory in that either. Real music?! And great talents. Lennon was told to change original lyrics by Allen Klein. The song was going to be lawsuit against Lennon for libel. Lennon original line,. The Beatles reuniting would have been a bad idea. Like most groups the Beatles were a family and as in many families there were sibling rivalries. Jealousy, side-taking, swapping sides, flaming rows, bitter words and periods of non-speaking, anddislike of the others spouses.
Even Ringo who hated all the conflict was dragged into it. But in the end the truth is they love each other. It was ever thus, The Who, Queen, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zeppelin and many more have all seen vicious words and rows between the members. Generally they make up and even get back together. I do believe that the Beatles would have got back together but it would have been well past their days of maximim creativity. George made a brief comeback. Beatle people. John Lennon.
John Lennon songs. He lived through it. The only thing that matters is how he and I feel about these things and not what the writer or commentator thinks about it. Him and me are okay. Too many people going where? Missed our lucky what? What was our first mistake? A real poet! Too bad. What am I supposed to do, make you laugh? I was looking at my second solo album, Ram , the other day and I remember there was one tiny little reference to John in the whole thing.
I mean, that was a little dig at John and Yoko. So what if I live with straights? I like straights. I have straight babies. Latest Comments. GniknuS Wednesday 11 August It definitely would be interesting to find out what those other lyrics were.

Rosco Friday 31 July Phil K Wednesday 10 February Andrew Grant Sunday 25 September Susan Monday 15 March Jeff Carlson Saturday 25 February McCartney and his then-wife Linda reacted by having ads published mocking Lennon and his now-widow Yoko Ono, which saw them dressed up as clowns.
On his track, Lennon brought up the conspiracy theory that McCartney died, on the line: "Those freaks was right when they said you was dead. Pepper took you by surprise", a reference to their seminal album. What's more, the song saw Lennon claim McCartney only contributed the song 'Yesterday' to the band and referenced his solo hit 'Another Day'.
Whilst Lennon also sang: "You probably pinched that bitch anyway", in response to Macca allegedly telling his bandmates he wasn't sure if he'd taken the melody to 'Yesterday' from another song.
