Wild Honey Pie

Wild Honey Pie is a short song written by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and released on The Beatles (also known as The White Album).
==Background==
McCartney is the sole performer on the recording. John Lennon and Ringo Starr were working on other White Album songs, and George Harrison was on holiday in Greece.
McCartney said of this song: "We were in an experimental mode, and so I said, 'Can I just make something up?' I started off with the guitar and did a multitracking experiment in the control room or maybe in the little room next door. It was very home-made; it wasn't a big production at all. I just made up this short piece and I multitracked a harmony to that, and a harmony to that, and a harmony to that, and built it up sculpturally with a lot of vibrato on the [guitar] strings, really pulling the strings madly. Hence, 'Wild Honey Pie', which was a reference to the other song I had written called 'Honey Pie'."
According to McCartney, the song might have been excluded from The Beatles album, but George's then-wife Pattie Boyd "liked it very much so we decided to leave it on the album."﻿
