There's something so melancholy about Golden Slumbers...

Agreed.

My grandma actually used to sing this lullaby to me as a kid, though with the correct melody. I think the story was that Paul found the music, but couldn't read it so set the lyrics to his own melody.

I'll throw some Heston logic into the mix: Which charted higher and sold more copies as a single, "Come Together" or "Golden Slumbers" / "Carry That Weight" / "The End"? Heston logic says "Come Together" must be superior. In support of Heston logic, I voted against the medley. You're welcome, Heston.

You weren't supposed to get hurt! It was Heston—he was supposed to take the bullet! Hold on, buddy, I'll get you to a logic hospital right away.

I don't really have an opinion, but I'm sick of Come Together after it's been overplayed to me in recent adverts.

I like Come Together, but it’s vastly inferior.

Funny that Chuck Berry suing over the opening of Come Together lead to Lennon making a mediocre, overproduced covers album some years later.
