The shortest and most repetitive of
any Beatles' lyric, 'Wild Honey Pie' emerged from a
spontaneous sing-along in Rishikesh, India. "It was just a
fragment of an instrumental which we were not sure about,"
said Paul. "But Pattie Harrison liked it very much, so we
decided to leave it on the album." Paul is the only person
performing on this track (which was recorded in just one
take), singing and playing bass, electric and acoustic
guitars, and drums.
Coincidentally Mike Love had
recently cowritten a Beach Boys' track entitled 'Wild
Honey'.
