Talk:Birthday (Beatles song)

message: As part of a class assignment, I had to critique an article. This is the one I decided to do. I went through the list of sources, and glanced through them, and they all appear to be neutral. Also, I checked the citations and I am assure that the links work since I was directed to the original source material. Again, I glanced through them, and I did not find any signs of close plariagism or plagiarism at all. Agarcia101 (talk) 20:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Class Assignment 

message: I know that George Harrison is credited with playing six-string bass or baritone guitar, but there is also a second and more full sounding bassline, so perhaps Paul McCartney overdubbed it - if he did so, that is - and possibly, he would've overdubbed it last, much like he did during the Sgt. Pepper sessions.
If anybody can find a source to prove that it is indeed Paul who overdubbed the fuller sounding bass, that'll be fantastic. The reason I think it was very likely Paul is because this second bassline is quite melodic and so reminiscent of his trademark style.
PS Does anybody know if George played any guitar or not? I know that Ian MacDonald didn't always get his personnel line-ups right, but I'm not sure if George played any guitar on this song.

Talk:Yer Blues

message: I added the following sentences to the article: He said in a Rolling Stone interview that he used the humorous title as something of a defense mechanism, so that if anyone criticized the song, he could write it off as a parody. Aside from that, he claimed to be serious about the content of the song.
This is 100 percent true, and the source is the Rolling Stone interviews that are available on I-Tunes. Unfortunately, I cannot find a textual source for this, and do not know how to cite it, but I felt it was important content and added it and put "citation needed." If someone else knows of an appropriate way to cite it, please do so and/or let me know. andrewlargemanjones  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.230.35.144 (talk) 05:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

It reminds me of the sleeve for the Sex Pistols song "God Save the Queen" where the Queen's eyes and mouth are covered with text.

The image that you're talking about is not associated with the Beatles' version of the song, but a much-later reworking of the song by Chumbawamba.  Their version was critical of the Queen and the royal family (example lyrics include "Her majesty's living in a land of curtsies // a world of bluish blood and Nazis"), and the scratched-out-eyes cover to the single reflects their attitude.
