I think John was thinking responses that were not that appropiate for those days on a public appearance. Like, mentally bitting his tongue. Paul's got a much more spokesperson vibe to him.
Reporter: "Time magazine put down pop music!" (Dark clouds start to gather) "Proclaimed to Day Tripper is about prostitute!" (Thunder!) "And Norwegian Wood is about a lesbian!" (Thunder & Lightening! oh my!) "I want to know...the whole world wants to know...what on earth were you thinking??!!" Paul (with charm and cheek) "We were just trying to write songs about prostitutes and lesbians that's all!" Uproarious laughter by all! LOL!
Leon Anderson Actually,I watched it again and I admit to being wrong. John did look at Paul after he said that and Paul had not said anything first. I was mistaken. It happens😎
@@gretchennelson9965 Maybe he looked at Paul out of sensitivity. Eleanor Rigby was Paul's work for the most part, and Paul might have otherwise taken the remark as a veiled attack on the quality of the song itself. (Or so John may have feared, when he chose to look at him. Though they collaborated with one another, they were also driven by rivalry, jealousy and competition, all at once. Not on this occasion, though, when facing the press.) Moments earlier a reporter had asked them about Day Tripper and Norwegian Wood being about "a prostitute, and a lesbian", respectively. John's answer about Eleanor Rigby was probably in line with this.
Paul had that side to him from the beginning, though. John said himself that, although Paul was much more patient than he was,he could be much more cutting when he wanted to. And I think all four of them shared that very dry, sarcastic, slightly dark sense of humor. It was one of the things they bonded over.
Robin Lee They were from Liverpool. Liverpool up until 2000 or so was down-at-heel, ex-industrial and Irish. If you take British sarcasm/ passive-aggression, add chippiness and working class humour, the art of the great Scouse put-down, plus the Goons (which inspired Peter Cook and Monty Python among others), you have the humour of John Lennon.
People need to wake up and realize John was not the only sarcastic one... what it all comes down to is, he was less tactful and not as broad as Paul, so he mostly seemed "sarcastic," were as Paul was much more broad and tasteful with his responses, sarcastic, respectful, insightful, empathetic... just like he was with his music, very hard rocking, granny music, folk, classical, blues, classic rock, hard hitting lyrics, political lyrics, love songs... Paul delivered it all, people are learning and realizing all this, the heaviest and dirtiest Beatles songs were Paul's, the most inventive, the most intricate, the most delicate, the most political, etc.

George was always the "Quiet One". People assumed or just expect him to be that way. You know.. Having his own world.. Away from here.. Stuff like that. :)
it's great paul admits they take so much influence from other artists. nobody today talks about how much of the beatles' songwriting was synthesized from contemporaries who did it first, some people even go so far as to deny it, and yet the beatles themselves said it openly!
Love the timing of John's answer to that last question given the stupidity of the earlier questions about Day Tripper and Norwegian Wood. George doesn't appear to be asked any questions directly and he sits clearly bored through the session. Ringo quips in a couple of times and is patient when asked a silly question. Paul is answering the most because he is being used by the Beatle's backers as the more diplomatic one while quietly taking the media by surprise with some answers. John meanwhile is under some orders to keep quiet because he says what he thinks (Simon Cowell would never allow that) which makes his final comment all the funnier.
@@leafbelly Paul got a massive laugh out of his "we were just trying to write songs about prostitutes and lesbians, that's all" earlier. That's why John made the two queers retort, he was courting a laugh (IMO).
John and Paul's answers to the questions about the songs were so witty and perfect. I love all The Beatles, but John and Paul are my favorites. Oh, and John looked so sexy shaking his leg and moving around in his chair. The media really does ask some of the most ridiculous questions ever!

For anybody who doesn’t know...Norwegian Wood is exactly what it says. John Lennon tried to pick up a girl and though she was willing, she had to go to work early that morning. The trick of the song is that the censors wouldn’t allow the last line so being a punster he changed it. 🎼Oh, isn’t it good KNOWING SHE WOULD.🎶
George Alexander yes. I actually thought I heard Mrs. also in Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite! Where it says "Messrs. K and H. assure the public their production will be second to none and of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz! *trippy effects play* "
Don't you love the candidness? Remember, John performed "Woman is the N.... of the World " live on American TV. Nobody would DARE do that today, either an artist or a TV host.
