So I have heard Fiona Apple do it and I have heard Rufus Wainwright do it. Is it a cover they're both doing or did one or the other actually write it?


EDIT: Is it a Beatles tune?

I'll be moving back to the East Coast in June. Maybe I will come to MA and you can just kill me instead.

If it makes you feel any better, I was at a Doves show a couple of years ago and I noticed the guy who sings/plays bass was playing left handed. I said to one of my friends "I don't think I've ever seen a left handed bassist before". The girl in front of me turns around with utter disdain and says "Yeah, besides McCartney".

I would have had sex with her if I weren't married and she didn't think I was a complete tool.

The first version I ever heard of it was from the big 6-disc box set, and was a studio-only take. I loooved it. Then, I heard the album version, and was let-down. The album version was much more "hippy" than the studio, with tambourines and hippy chicks wailing in the background, whereas the studio cut was clean, honest, simple, and heart-breakingly beautiful. Look for it.

Thanks a lot for all your "if it makes you feel better" comments. It certainly does. Even I knew that McCartney played left handed. haha

I think Tania knows. And that's all that matters.

I lived with two guys right after college, one of which knew music really well and the other hwo could give a shit. I came home one day to find that I was to settle an argument between them if Jethro Tull was a guy or a band.

Knowing the correct answer, I thought it would be funny to say "everyone knows it's a guy", and my knowledgeable roomate launched his half full can of Coors Light at me right there. It was a pretty damn funny moment as the dude who knew nothing about music was so over the top rubbing it in.

That made me laugh and want a Coors Light. I don't have any so I'll have a Brooklyn Lager instead.

I'm lefty. Two basses: The Sqy-Korean-Fender in the pic (macked out with active EMG's and gold h-ware) and my baby: Custom Kit Carvin Lefty:

slightly off-topic, Bowie did a cover of this in the 70s which is worth checking out.

one of my favorite Lennon songs evers.
