“I’ve got blisters on my fingers!” Maybe the wildest rock and roll track ever made, and the title was taken from a British amusement park kiddie ride. Paul said he saw an ad for The Who’s new album where Pete Townshend claimed they just made the loudest, most raucous, craziest record ever. Paul felt they could one-up that. The sessions were just plain out of control. At one point George was running around the studio carrying a flaming ashtray over his head. And yeah, Charlie Manson thought the Beatles were speaking directly to him to incite a race war, leading to the Tate-LaBianca murders in ‘69. So glad Charlie punched his ticket to roast in hell.

You know, I've notice the Hollyridge Strings were no longer recording orchestrated instrumental versions of Beatles songs by this point in time.
Too bad---I would have loved to hear their take on this song.
