One of the first songs Paul McCartney ever wrote (when he was 15) became the first song the Beatles did for "Sgt. Pepper." "Strawberry Fields Forever" was recorded earlier but was left off "Pepper." They would play this at their early live gigs whenever the amps blew up or the power went out. John later derided the tune as "granny s**t" meaning it was vaudevillian in nature, but that style was in Paul's DNA as his dad was a trumpeter. The only suitable video I could find was a :30 snippet. Thanks, lawyers.
