“Savoy Truffle”

Sometimes the Beatles could be a tad whimsical in their songwriting. George based this White Album song on Eric Clapton’s obsessive love of chocolates and what they could do to his teeth. “Savoy truffle” was from Mackintosh’s, a British candy maker. George asked that the sax parts be distorted on purpose, which irked the hired musicians. Once again, John was uninterested in contributing to a Harrison track.
