Mean Mr.Mustard/Polythene Pam

Единственный недостаток этих песен-больно короткие по времени :)))

А в целом мне эти две "песенки" Джона очень нравятся,есть в них какая-то сочность чтоли...Вокал там конечно супер,слов нет....

Весьма интересные вариации врёмен Гэт Бэк сессионс,где Джон "наяривает" Мустарда на пианино,ну и версии 68 года(Кинфаус демо)

И что? Сплясать?

Мне вот интересно с кого Джон писал эти песни??Есть же реальные люди...

А почему одна тема?Песен то две.

Умиляюсь с этих песен, особенно с антологийных версий. В Антологии были использованы Эшерские записи, если я не ошибаюсь? На них же Джон для смеха сделал дабл-трекинг, очень корявый. А я в детстве не мог разобрать, кто ж с Джоном дуэтом поёт? :)

Шуточный некролог:





Mean Mr Mustard, of Beatle's song fame, dies at 96


Mean Mr. Mustard, made famous in the Beatles song of the same name, died yesterday at the age of 96 of complications of pneumonia. Mustard has been sleeping in the park lately for the past 50 years and that may have contributed to his illness, sources say.

In a recent interview Mustard, his face heavily scarred from shaving in the dark, complained bitterly about the bad reputation he got from the Beatles song about him.

He complained "So I tried to save paper! Now I'd be called a conservationist, then I was a mean old man. It wasn't fair." He also added "Do any of my kids come visit me? Look at this hole in the road, there's room for all of them. Young punks."

Mustard did become nostalgic about the time he was taken out to look at the queen. He admitted he didn't get out much, and that was a real treat, but added that "they even criticized me then too. I never shouted out anything obscene. It was hard enough to talk as it was -- And that's another thing, so what if I did keep a ten bob note up my nose. Wouldn't you?" When advised that most people actually keep their money in their wallets, he replied "Oh, isn't that grand! Young punks."

Mustard's funeral was attended by, among others, his sister Pam, Rocky Raccoon, Dear Prudence and Bono.

The inspiration for “Mean Mr. Mustard” came from something John read in a newspaper article
"Daily Record" article from June 7th, 1967.
"A Mean Husband Shaved In The Dark," details this "mean husband who shaved and went to bed in the dark to save light."
