Today's oddball song is "Wild Honey Pie", which featured Paul as the only performer (John and Ringo were working on other songs for the album and George was on holiday). The song references another White Album track, "Honey Pie" (which we'll be covering in a couple of weeks).
The song is simple and brief; the only lyrics are "Honey pie" and "I love you, honey pie". McCartney experimented with multitracking to create layers of his own harmonies. In my opinion, "Wild Honey Pie" is less a song and more a piece of experimental audio artwork. It's not really the singalong kind, and although short it's got so much going on that it almost forces you to listen. I like it. :)
That's all for today. See you back here tomorrow.
