The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:

Maybe I'm editing too late in the night, but the quote provided seems to conflict with the how the song was written about the civil rights movement. Is the song about a woman or civil rights? ~~Shiri — Talk~~ 07:00, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

The black "bird" - an African-American girl or woman - is singing. That's what the quote, and implicitly, the song is about. IvanP 22:12, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

The tapping is made by Paul hitting the ground with his boots.See part 8 of "The Beatles Anthology". MrGater 16:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

The reference to "Bach's Bouree" is ridiculous. A Bourrée is a 17th-century dance form, and often forms part of Baroque dance suites. Bach wrote many Bourrées.

"The first night Linda Eastman slept over, McCartney played it to the fans camped outside of his house." Can anyone confirm this? Seems a bit off.
