"Someplace Else? Well, that was, the song for the love song [for the Shanghai Surprise film]. Well, in a way, I started trying to write one of those tunes for, they shot a lot of the movie . The little bits they had shot, I got on video and just kept looking at it and trying to imagine a mood."
George Harrison (February 1986 - Hand Made In Hong Kong)
"I did write the song [Someplace Else] specifically at the request of the producer of the Madonna movie. It was the love song for the naughty couple. [...] For that particular song, there's a scene where, I think she gets in the taxi and he bangs his head on the taxi and then he says something about, you know, 'What would it have been like if we'd met someplace else.' So I thought that sounds like a good song title."
