It's clearly an anticipation of Get Back
A healthy and balanced diet of toast and more toast
The Beatles recording session mistakes are pure gold and here are some of the best moments:
0:06: JOHN: That’s not it!!
0:57-onwards: *weird noises*
1:35: PAUL: And if you saw my love, I’d love her… *pfffff*
2:01: JOHN: There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done PAUL: I believe you, Johnny! JOHN: There’s nothing you can sing that can’t be sung. PAUL: There sure is! *continues random ‘Johnny’, ‘you’re right, boy!’*
2:20: JOHN: I’m ready to sing for the world, George. If you just give me the backing!
3:41: *loud guitars* JOHN: Little less of George! It feels I’m singing in a sock.
4:22: “RINGO!!”
4:36: PAUL: We’ll do it anyway, We’ll just blast that bit, that one bit.
5:47: JOHN: Don’t slow down, for Christ’s sake. Or I’m giving you no more drugs!
6:22: JOHN: I just can’t get anywhere near ‘light’ now.
6:34: PAUL: I’ll try to remember, John. And if I don’t it’s just too bad, isn’t it?
6:50: PAUL: George, what did it sound like? Were the bass doing a funny thing, did it sound any good or did it sound like just utterly crap? [..] I did it well, see. Told you! Meh, hello to you and see how you like it.
…and my personal favorite:
3:59: PAUL: Do that again. [to George:] You made a mistake. I KNOW YOU DID! GEORGE: No. *mumbling and grumbling*
“I dream about him.”
Paul talking about his first song »I lost my little girl«
I find it very touching how he corrects himself that he was exactly 14 and a half years old at the time, because he knows exactly when his mother died (31 October 1956), which is the sad reason he wrote it.
