“omg you’re so creative. how do you get your ideas” i hallucinate a single scene in the taco bell drive thru and then spend 13 months trying to write it
Paul McCartney giggles his way through singing "Sitting on a woody-pecker/ sucking on a lollypoppa... everytime I try to do it/My whole darn tongue gets tired"
Transcript of Paul McCartney and Donovan recorded during the sessions for Mary Hopkin’s Postcard LP as heard on the “No. 3 Abbey Road N.W. 8” bootleg CD. (reproduced from https://davidgray101.tripod.com/PaulandDonovan.html )
Fade in, Paul playing acoustic guitar and singing How Do You Do?. Paul: (singing)How to suck a lollypopper, Sitting on a woodypecker, Dancing in the double-decker shoe, (Donovan snickers, presumably at Paul’s nonsensical lyrics) (note, this is the writers assumption that what Donovan is laughing about is the 'nonsensical lyrics' and not the innuendo) I don’t know,
How do you do?
Paul and Donovan:(singing together) How to suck a lollypopper,
Sitting on a woodypecker,
Dancing in the double-decker shoe,
I don’t know,
So, how do you do?
Donovan attempts to harmonize on the last word, ‘do’, but hits a sour note, causing both him and Paul to laugh. Paul carries on alone.
Paul: (singing) I don’t know how you do it,
Lordy, knows I try,
But every time I try to do it,
My whole darn tongue gets tied
Regarding ‘How Do You Do’ John C Winn writes in ‘That Magic Feeling’
As the tape opens, Paul is singing what appears to be a nursery rhyme of his own creation ‘How Do You Do’,, although the lyrics about “sucking on a lollipopper” and “sitting on a woody pecker” can be taken more than one way! Donovan harmonizes in spots, and Paul does a double-time impression of the song as Danny Kaye might perform it.
(yes, Paul singing about sucking and sitting on phallic objects can definitely be taken in more than one way!)
“This is why people cry at the movies: because everybody’s doomed. No one in a movie can help themselves in any way. Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear onscreen.”

The fact that john girls are mostly paul coded girls is proof that the tragedy of mclennon can't be destroyed, only transformed. Just a group of firstborn daughters with anxiety and their schedules trying to fix his ass

spent over an hour looking for this post of which i only remembered the phrase "stuff that actually happened". god free me
the point of rpf isn’t to concoct scenarios that are thinly veiled attempts to fuck the celebrities you like yourself. the point of rpf is to learn as much lore as is possible about the celebrities you like by whatever means necessary and use that information to craft scenarios that are wildly implausible but Technically could have happened. and then to chuckle about it. by the way
you know how being songwriting partners is like marriage and songwriting is like sex and making an album is like being pregnant and songs are like your children. i don't even have anything to add to this it's just like. ok! yeah! what more can any of us do with this? you said it, man. sure!
i thought this was a fish at first. why are they holding a giant sandwich
Gay rights really have come so far. In the 1960s, gay marriage was so far off the table for men that Paul McCartney and John Lennon literally had to create a songwriting partnership, a publication company and an entertainment company together just to formalize their union w each otha
