This song sounds familiar to the sounds from The Pursuit of Happiness' first album. The explanation must be 'Todd Rundgren', who produced this Cheap Trick song and TPOH's first album. |

'Sgt. Pepper' needed something else for side 2 and it was Neil Aspinall that suggested to Paul that 'SPLHCB' be reprised. Shortly afterwards, John walked past Neil and said, "Nobody likes a smart-ass." Neil knew then that John liked the idea and it would happen. |

| The Beatles – Yellow Submarine Lyrics

Paul wrote (with the intention of being a children's song) 'Yellow Submarine' in bed, late one night. It's been suggested that the idea came from Bob Dylan's 'Rainy Day Women Women Nos. 12 & 35'.

| The Beatles – Here, There and Everywhere Lyrics

Paul wrote this tune while sitting by John's pool in Weybridge. It's been suggested (too often) that Paul was inspired by Brian Wilson's 'Pet Sounds'. Well, sorry folks but this song was recorded in June 1966 and 'Pet Sounds' wasn't released in Britain until July 1966. Even if Paul had an advance copy, there isn't any musical link between this song and anything from 'Pet Sounds'. |

| The Beatles – I Want You (She's So Heavy) Lyrics

You can analyze this song all you want but it's only a love song written by John to Yoko. Yep, John has admitted before about composing a perfect song using only one word (Yoko wrote a poem that consisted of one word, 'Water'). Even though there's a little more than one word, John still delivers his feelings. As one author has put it "... this is a musical tryst with a succubus. No wonder the lyric consists of the same phrase over and over again. Lennon is literally obsessed. |
