What does it say about MMT the TV-movie that most of the best stuff on the Capitol version of the album is "leftover" singles? This came out in July, as B side to "All You Need Is Love" (which is coming up next), weeks before the death of "rich fag Jew" Brian Epstein, who Lennon loved and resented. It is very Summer-of-Lovely, with its sarcastic lyrics and what I'm guessing is a calliope, and it is still a blast to dance to and sing along with. (OK, I just danced today, but I have belted it out under the right circumstances, politically incorrect ad-libs and all, but I have that right as a bisexual half-Jew.)
