    The melody has a passing resemblance to Mean Mister Mustard.

    Thanks goes to Bill Schnee, who had the presence of mind to run off a copy of the song with John's guide vocal before John's vocal needed to be erased so they could use the track to complete Ringo's version of the song. Bill was just 25 yrs old at the time.

    Glad he gave this one to Ringo. He rocks it. Plus with people constantly undermining his drumming abilities in those days he really needed to make that kinda statement. I still get a kick out of this drunken John version though lol.

    This is John Lennon Klaus Voorman on bass and Ringo rehearsing. This is part of the actual session tapes. This is before George arrived. I think Billy Preston put his stuff on later.

    John always said he could never release this as his own song…..he would be seen as big headed……but he knew Ringo could carry it off without being seen as big headed.

      Ringo on drums, John on vocals/piano (probably). There's a better version on 'John Lennon Anthology'. It was written for Ringo in mind.
