I've come to hate The Turtles' "Happy Together" for the same reason. I can't hear it without thinking I need cookies, a new car, tampons, anti-anxiety drugs, and athlete's foot spray.

Yeah that's another big one, along with "Everyday People" by Sly, and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," by Stevie Wonder. I hate songs more if they were in a car commercial.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 2:01pmI've come to hate The Turtles' "Happy Together" for the same reason.

I think his direction to Martin was that he "wanted to smell the sawdust" which I think Martin made happen (as he often did).Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 1:38pmHard not to see that Lennon was a proponent of happy accidents.WestwayKid wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 1:36pmWell said. The melody itself is fascinating, winding in and out like a serpent. George Martin's production work is some of his best ever, translating Lennon's wishes (it's been said that while Paul would be very precise about what he wanted, John was often far more vague) into something both whimsical and creepy.Silent Majority wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 1:16pmI bloody Kite. In Liverpool, I saw a repro of the original Victorian circus poster that Lennon got the lyrics off and if it had been under a tenner I would have got the only Fab merch that I ever would have. The mood, sound, melody, and story of the song are one of the best things on Sgt Pepper.
The angry Lennon of the early 70's had some unkind words for George Martin:
"[Dick James] is another one of those people, who think they made us. They didn't. I'd like to hear Dick James' music and I'd like to hear George Martin's music, please, just play me some."
"When people ask me questions about 'What did George Martin really do for you?,' I have only one answer, 'What does he do now?' I noticed you (Paul) had no answer for that! It's not a putdown, it's the truth."
But then a year later:
George Martin made us what we were in the studio. He helped us develop a language to talk to other musicians."

Re: Pepper - Side A - Round 2
Lennon interviews in the early 70s are like Joe interviews in 84/85. I vaguely recall him saying George petulantly told Paul and him, "My songs are as good as yours," to which John said, "Then why weren't they on the albums?" Just embarrassing bitterness.WestwayKid wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 2:50pmI think his direction to Martin was that he "wanted to smell the sawdust" which I think Martin made happen (as he often did).Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 1:38pmHard not to see that Lennon was a proponent of happy accidents.WestwayKid wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 1:36pmWell said.

Unabashed, no. But it's one of the most ambitious songs on the album, one that comes closer to justifying the hype.

Re: Pepper - Side A - Round 2
It's just so whimsical! Last time we were in Vegas, we say the Cirque de Soleil Love show and I really wanted to brush it off as cheese, but it was so good. And it made me really appreciate Kite.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 3:26pmUnabashed, no. But it's one of the most ambitious songs on the album, one that comes closer to justifying the hype.

Superficially whimsical, I'd say. The whole thing sounds like a kaleidoscopic waking dream/nightmare to me. If Lucy is a beautifully revelatory acid trip, Kite is shit going scary.
