I forgot "The Fool On The Hill"!

What a great song!

Hey. If you skirts ever step up and knock out a beast like "Helter Skelter" or a diamond like "For No One", then you can call Paul McCartney CRAP. Until then, you're on stifle.

I bet that some of the people who voted CRAP haven't even heard "For No One", "Let Me Roll It", "I'm Looking Through You" or many of the other songs that we've mentioned.

Voting CRAP without having heard these songs would be CRAP.

I have no problem with this.

"The Fool On The Hill" is a piece of dump, fully deserving to be covered by Sergio Mendes. The best thing about it is Lennon making fun of it and including a little blast of those stupid recorders on "Glass Onion."

I think I'd now give Paul McCartney a NOT CRAP overall, after many many years of irrationally hating him.

This song, she sometimes makes me feel crazy in the head. Not like run around and put axe in your face crazy. More slipping under the waves kind of crazy.

This song, "The Fool On The Hill", she puts me in another place and has physiological effect on me. Is true!

And this song, she never "takes off". You expect song to "take off", and instead she sits back and makes you go quiet crazy with the recorders and the beautiful melody.

Is beautiful song so well done.

Now THAT is a terrible song. Fuckin' 'orrid.

But why the recorders though? Is so gae! I played a recorder in 3rd grade! Is no instrument for a grown-up rock bands!

Lennon LOVED recorders. In "The Beatle's First U.S. Visit" dvd you can see him playing one in the hotel room. It sounds a little like the beginning of "Strawberry fields". That was 1964.

Lennon called Glass Onion "a throwaway.."..He was right.

John should get props for "Plastic Ono Band". That is by far the best Lennon solo lp. It's also amazing that the epic "All Things Must Pass" and the bare bones "Plastic Ono Band" were both produced by Phil Spector.

Hey! More Great WINGS songs:

1985

Juniors Farm

Uncle Albert (future Wing involvement)

Getting Closer

Venus and Mars (for "behind the stacks, he lifts an axe" and Jimmy Page shout out)

And "Here Today" makes me genuinely sad.

"Glass Onion" is a good-to-great song. In no way is it a "throwaway." You skirts "throw away" a song that good-to-great sometime.

No, buy another effect pedal instead.

"Fool On The Hill" is a simpy piece of hamster clump.

You stand corrected.

Kerble is right.
