The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:


[edit] John Lennon's Vocals?

Am I the only one who can't control the laughter that comes out when John says "Liverpool" with the most Cockneyesque dialect? Anyway, my ultimate point is that this song (on Let It Be) is audible proof of the growing tension between Lennon and McCartney. It was later removed from Let it be. . .Naked!, because apparently Paul McCartney thought it had been included distastefully and deliberately to mock and sabotage his composition.

I seriously feel the need to mention it in the main article (as though it's not short enough.)

That's not Cockney, it's Scouse. --kingboyk 16:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

The references to Nellie Gray and the Beatles illustrate how one song tends to lead to another although no one can ever be sure. Who knows if an american ministers son and anti-slavery activist had ever heard Maggie May or,indeed how many other songs have used the tune. 82.47.176.254 21:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)mikeL
