Macca was as much a transgressor/experimentalist as John, what with incorporating a tale of homicide dressed up as a 'granny' ditty. Also, with the instrumentation, using the Moog and an anvil. (Mal Evans' big break!). It's surreal humour has always appealed to me, and perhaps it was Paul's 'nasty' streak, also in Helter Skelter, that John brought out.

When you hear the tracks dissected like this, you hear all the fun and humour and love of creating the Beatles had. I mean, the lyrics as well are just so light and humorous, witty and funny. The line “studied pataphysical science” is just brilliant as it’s so outrageous and silly (what even is it and does anyone study it at all anymore?), and ridiculous but fits the meter of the music perfectly. And then, the harmonies - goofy and fun. I think this is called lounge music, not sure. The Beatles were such a gift for us because they lighten us all up with their absolute genius. They’re as free as kids messing around, but as sophisticated musically as any classical maestro. The best band by an absolute mile. And using an anvil in a song 😅 who else would do such a thing as well as the ridiculous organ sound. Three seconds of classical piano from George Martin - sure why not?

The difference between George and Paul - Paul will never complain and George will never stop complaining. Someone researched all the Beatles' songs and the number of takes for each song and discovered on average that both George and John took more takes to complete their songs than Paul did.

I've always assumed it was George who played bass on this. I did have some slight doubt because of the tightness of the bass part....as neither George or John were as precise and in the pocket as Paul was. I watched the unedited version of the documentary Paul did with Rick Rubin. There is a part where they talk about this song and Paul talks about how he achieved a tuba-like sound on his bass. So, according to Paul, he overdubbed bass on this.

That was Georges on the bass ?

@PeterCamberwick

Жыл бұрын

Yes. It happened quite a lot.

I always thought of this song as an absolute masterpiece, just another great song on the album. Now it's become a fad of the moment to put it down. So now Joe Schmo suddenly knows better what a great song is than Paul McCartney at the absolute height of his powers. John's bitchy comments about it are coming to light. But by this time they were battling about business and enraged at Paul for refusing Alan Klein. (Never mind that Paul was right, on that count.) They were also jealous of Paul for becoming predominant in the band, generally producing their greatest hits and producing the band in general, bringing out the best in the songs of the others. Where would Come Together be without Paul creating the central riff and keyboard parts?" This song and Obladi Oblada are catchy fun monumental masterpieces full of ironic nuanced meaning, both done to perfection with important contributions from the other Beatles. Most people instantly know those songs. John's Sun King and Bungalow Bill are similar kinds of songs, just less successful. No wonder he had an itch to bitch. They pretend Paul made them do too many takes -- but if you look at the record, Paul is generally the one who knew what he wanted and got to it directly (as George Martin has remarked.) John and George are the ones that required the endless takes -- like the 70 takes required for Happiness is a Warm Gun. George Martin said of George H's approach to recording: that it was slow and meticulous 'like embroidery.' Meanwhile, John is absolutely delighted that he wrote and sang the majority of The Beatles hits in the early days, considerable more than Paul's output. But he was angry and incensed at the end when the tables turned. What a ridiculous hypocrite.

This confirms my old suspicion. Paul's piano drags Maxwell's down. His playing in this particular song is clunky, it's repetitive, it's boring. He should have switched to the bass and let George Martin or maybe Billy Preston play all the keyboards. Paul's moog playing is good, though.This and speeding the song a little would have improved it drastically. No amount of embellishments could conceal the clunkyness of the basic track and Paul was the main culprit.

That. Was the bottom most of the bottom most. Look at Paul. John wouldn't even dignify this awful, awful track with his appearance. What does Paul do? He gains an alarming amount of weight. He sings the lead vocal with a disingenuousness and carelessness he never, ever before had shown as a Beatle (but frequently used in his solo career - Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, to wit). Paul's reason for being a Beatle in the first place - John - had left the band! Paul was a lost, lost soul here. The lyrics of this piece of shoot are insipid, the music except for George's surprisingly heroic bass and Ringo's reliably steady and subtle drumming, is juvenile. This is without question the Beatles' worst released song, and I'll bet you could get everyone still alive that was in the studio to agree with that. Even Sir P. Awful! Take it down.
