I Thought This Was A Fish At First. Why Are They Holding A Giant Sandwich

GQ published an unedited version of a David Lynch interview about happiness they’d only briefly quoted before (x)

Easily the most famous pair of songwriters : > 

One of the most Shakespearean stories of modern history

Paul McCartney giggles his way through singing "Sitting on a woody-pecker/ sucking on a lollypoppa... everytime I try to do it/My whole darn tongue gets tired"

Transcript of Paul McCartney and Donovan recorded during the sessions for Mary Hopkin’s Postcard LP as heard on the “No. 3 Abbey Road N.W. 8” bootleg CD. (reproduced from https://davidgray101.tripod.com/PaulandDonovan.html )

Fade in, Paul playing acoustic guitar and singing How Do You Do?. Paul: (singing)How to suck a lollypopper, Sitting on a woodypecker, Dancing in the double-decker shoe, (Donovan snickers, presumably at Paul’s nonsensical lyrics) (note, this is the writers assumption that what Donovan is laughing about is the 'nonsensical lyrics' and not the innuendo) I don’t know,

How do you do?

Paul and Donovan:(singing together) How to suck a lollypopper,

Sitting on a woodypecker,

Dancing in the double-decker shoe,

I don’t know,

So, how do you do?

Donovan attempts to harmonize on the last word, ‘do’, but hits a sour note, causing both him and Paul to laugh. Paul carries on alone.

Paul: (singing) I don’t know how you do it,

Lordy, knows I try,

But every time I try to do it,

My whole darn tongue gets tied

Regarding ‘How Do You Do’ John C Winn writes in ‘That Magic Feeling’

As the tape opens, Paul is singing what appears to be a nursery rhyme of his own creation ‘How Do You Do’,, although the lyrics about “sucking on a lollipopper” and “sitting on a woody pecker” can be taken more than one way! Donovan harmonizes in spots, and Paul does a double-time impression of the song as Danny Kaye might perform it.

(yes, Paul singing about sucking and sitting on phallic objects can definitely be taken in more than one way!)

unstoppable slut meets immovable object or whatever that saying is

absolutely losing it at the half visible "you had no fit on"

✨️The beatles incorrect texts ✨️

truly no one does it like mclennon when it comes to literary devices. paul and john being narrative foils, both insanely creative and competitive to a fault? the dramatic irony of john being able to recognize paul's music from MULTIPLE FLOORS down in the dakota while paul thought john hated his guts? the imagery of paul trying to pull tape of his bass while talking to john in dreams? the symbolism of paris (the city of love) being the happiest memory they'd both reminisce about in future years? the foreshadowing of "think of me now and then, old friend"? the tragedy of "all my loving" allegedly playing over the hospital pa the minute john died? its honestly stomach turning and the worst part is that all of that literally, actually happened

in another universe the sky is always pink and i didn’t leave three people for you and in another one the trees grow downwards with their roots in the air and in another one we meet in the middle of the street at the age of six while chasing after the same butterfly
