Beatlesfest- Wild Honey Pie

[Kenneth]

When I first heard the Beatles do this (song), I loved it!

I would crank this song loud on my record player in the basement,  and my parents upstairs thought I had lost my mind.

Well .... I did lose my mind those days.

........ Here's proof:

Wild Honey Pie

As strange and freaked out as it should be. Excellent job. I love your version!

An excellent rendition of a crazy song. You got this just right. Love it! How did you do the whacked-out guitar tone?

Well done, Ken!

I always found this song to be a bit of a puzzler, since it shared the words 'honey pie' with another song on the album. Were the two songs part of a concept that Macca abandoned while working through the White Album? I suppose he knows - I don't recall reading anything about it, though.

Yea it sure is a weird one.

I got this from Wikipedia:

 "McCartney is the sole performer on the recording. John Lennon and Ringo Starr were working on other White Album songs, and George Harrison was on holiday in Greece.

McCartney said of this song: "We were in an experimental mode, and so I said, 'Can I just make something up?' I started off with the guitar and did a multitracking experiment in the control room or maybe in the little room next door. It was very home-made; it wasn't a big production at all. I just made up this short piece and I multitracked a harmony to that, and a harmony to that, and a harmony to that, and built it up sculpturally with a lot of vibrato on the [guitar] strings, really pulling the strings madly. Hence, 'Wild Honey Pie', which was a reference to the other song I had written called 'Honey Pie'."

According to McCartney the song might have been excluded from The Beatles album, but Pattie Boyd liked it very much so we decided to leave it on the album."

Tim, the guitar tone I used has a chorus- gone- mad effect, along with me trying to vibrato it to the extreme.
Thanks for the comments guys, nowhere near as good as the original, but  it's all in good fun.

Top notch wildness with a dash of good natured goofiness for good measure.  Great job.
