The very definition of a half-assed effort.

Somehow I think you'll survive its airplay. Even if your snarky claim is true (I personally don't agree with you), the song is just 1:38 of throwaway fun in the middle of full-on genius.

Oh God, this brings back memories! My (very COOL and music loving) mother couldn't stand this song and forbid my brother and I to listen to it when the White Album first came out. Sigh. I miss that woman.



My mother always reminded us that there were parts of the world where it was perfectly acceptable to urinate in public.
My personal example was the urinals I saw placed in the middle of a marathon route on a visit to Amsterdam.

Musically this is not worth much, but the massive smile this puts on my face makes it impossible to give this a low rating.

This song will always evoke memories of my high-school days (in the mid 70's). A friend and I put together a short film made up from local TV news outtakes (16mm film back in those days, and they let us dig through the trash to find usable footage). We got ahold of a bunch of footage showing anti-war protesters blocking the freeway, dancing and swaying from side to side. We used this song as the background music for that part of the film, and the movements of the protesters were in synch with the beat of the song. Do it in the road, indeed!




Cool, thanks for this.  I guess this was pre-Suella Braverman :(

I would suggest that Paul's spirited vocals are the very definition of not half-assed!

I love the fact that this song is followed (on the white album) by \"I Will\". A gentle McCartny song following a harse Lennon one... :)
