Trivia

  • In 1973, Chappell Music sued George for plagiarism as his song "My Sweet Lord" sounded too much like the Chiffons' "He's So Fine." This prompted George to write "This Song" in 1976 which lampshaded the lawsuit to no end.
  • On "She Said, She Said" (on the Revolver album), George is playing bass and his vocals are heard at the end. This was because Paul left the session.
  • In 1978, George guest starred as a reporter on Eric Idle and Neil Innes' mockumentary The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash.
