"Fixing A Hole"

At various times, Paul McCartney said this "Sgt. Pepper" track was either about actually fixing a leaky roof at his Scottish farmhouse...or about pot, where your mind keeps wandering...or just a stream of consciousness. He left his house the day of this recording session to find a man out on the street claiming to be Jesus, who asked to sit in the studio while the Beatles worked. Paul said he didn't think the guy really was Jesus, but figured he'd better take him along just in case. Dude sat quietly, then left. It's claimed their roadie Mal Evans wrote most of the song but never received credit. Clip is from the Rock Band video game.
