I really like the song I Want You (She's So Heavy). But I do have an observation. Aren't the lyrics very repetitive? I ask because a repetitive song written by John Lennon is still a great song, but a repetitive song written by, say, a hair metal band in the 80's would be a repetitive song. Know what I mean? Just an observation. But like I said, I like the song.
I also like the Octopus song by Ringo. I think I said that in my comment on part 1 for some reason.
And the songs at the end are very, very similar. I think many "great" and many "average" songwriters ripped off somebody at some point. Why does it matter? If you wrote a great song that was later ripped off and the song doing the ripping was better or more popular, maybe that's the song you should have written to begin with.
Mike, another great show (of course).
I've allways thought, that the riff in "I want you", especially in the last part of the song, reminds me of Cheap Trick, but then again, Cheap Trick never denied any influence from the Beatles, on the contary.
I've read, that "I want you" was about Heroin. Maybe it's about Yoko, I do'nt know. Who knows?!
Yeah, they sound alike, the Buster Brown-and Rolling Stones song, but RS never really denied any "influence" from old bluse-artists, I guess. Was the RS-song "written" by Jagger/Richards? If so, it was clearly a rip off.
I'm looking forward to next week's show.
