GUEST,Allan Conn I am sick of the beatles (92* d) RE: I am sick of the beatles 10 Jun 15

Before my time too. In truth I can barely remember the Beatles either as I was only a wee kid when they were active. Seemingly McCartney wrote the song in India and had the song as a straight take on "Back In The USA" and played it to others there on the acoustic. It must have been the main verses as Mike Love of the Beach Boys claims it was he himself who then suggested a bit be added about all the different Soviet girls - which McCartney later did and added the Beach Boy harmonies etc. Yes it is parodying Berry and the Beach Boys but I think it was just a bit of fun and flattery more than actual ridicule. From everything I've read both Lennon and McCartney were inspired by Berry and loved the Beach Boys music.
