NOTE: "I like [this song]. It's a beautiful melody. I remember
when we got the chord that made the song. We were in Jane Asher's
house, downstairs in the cellar, playing on the piano at the same
time, and we had 'Oh you-u-u....got that something...' And Paul
hits this chord and I turn to him and say: 'That's it! Do that
again!' In those days, we really used to absolutely write like
that - both playing into each other's noses." (John Lennon, 1980)
