Today we meet the "Sun King". It was originally called "Here Comes the Sun King" but was changed to avoid confusion with George Harrison's song "Here Comes the Sun". "Sun King" was written mostly by John Lennon and is the second part of the B-side medley that begins with "You Never Give Me Your Money".
Starting with the swamp noises that end "You Never Give Me Your Money", the song features another three-part harmony from Lennon, McCartney and Harrison (similar to "Because") as well as some nonsense "Romance" language words in the last three lines. According to Wikipedia, Lennon talked about those lyrics:
We just started joking, you know, singing 'cuando para mucho.' So we just made up... Paul knew a few Spanish words from school, you know. So we just strung any Spanish words that sounded vaguely like something. And of course we got 'chicka ferdy' in. That's a Liverpool expression. Just like sort – it doesn't mean anything to me but (childish taunting) 'na-na, na-na-na!'
That's all for today! See you tomorrow. :)
