Theme: Food: The Beatles "Savoy Truffle" and "Wild Honey Pie"


Harrison's "Savoy Truffle" (1968) has been said to have been inspired by good friend, Eric Clapton's, addiction to chocolate. The lines "but when the pain comes through, you're gonna know and how" and "But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle" refer to the possibility of painful cavities.

On the same album we can hear "Wild Honey Pie" (Lennon/McCartney 1968). An...experimental piece.
