“Birthday”

We kick off side 3 of the White Album with a good ol’ sloppy rock and roller that was basically written on the spot. Paul came up with the lick and John helped flesh it out, one of their last real cooperative songwriting efforts. They took a break and slipped over to Paul’s place - he lived a few blocks from the Abbey Road studio - in order to watch the British colour TV premiere of the early rock film “The Girl Can’t Help It.” The guys returned suitably inspired and finished the song.
