I think it's "dig that girl" too. Any definitive reference anywhere? Anyone have Eric Burdon's phone #? |

I agree about the women's movement comment. I always thought (but wasn't sure) he was singing "woman" in the chorus. BTW, I also thought the line was "burn their eyes on your MOVIE," but I could be wrong. (I like mine better LOL). Great track. One of the first 45's I ever owned as a grade school kid. |

Problem with the idea that John was just "answering" the Paul is Dead crazies: This song was recorded BEFORE (1968) the whole "Paul is Dead" hoax broke. ('69) Always wondered about that one. |

| The Beatles – Savoy Truffle Lyrics

I have a unique theory about this song. I think it's George poking fun at McCartney's songwriting, which John often thought too saccharine. "We all know ob-la-di-bla-da" (Paul song) "but can you show me where you are." And the title line itself "Savoy Truffle" -- "Savoy" is a reference to the retro early-century style Paul loved to noodle with in songs like "Honey Pie." In other words, many of Paul's songs are just confections with as much musical value as candy has nutritional worth. I also think Lennon's "Wild Honey Pie" on the same album is a cruder, blunter (typical John) shot at Paul's too-sweet "Honey Pie." |
