One of my all-time Beatle favorites. What baffles me is why this song has almost been totally forgotten about -- no one ever plays it or even talks about it. If George was the one who wrote it, then it was one of his "best" ever. And no one even know the story behind what inspired it. The story was that he once watched Eric Clapton eat an entire box of chocolates, all in one sitting. It was so unbelievable (and almost disgusting) that Harrison had to write a song about it.
Correct. You can actually Google the image of the GOOD NEWS CHOCOLATE assortment, And it has the name of each candy underneath, literally listing off the lyrics of the song. Lol. And trust me, not everybody has forgotten the old days.. I listen to this song at least two or three times a year
In my top 5 of George's songs. He doesn't just needle Clapton. In the middle 8's he admonishes McCartney. Sweet candy & skilled pop songwriting(& songwriters) can have the same effect on the teeth & the soul, George warns!
Why do people keep on claiming that a song being featured as "forgotten" or "underrated," etc. It is being played and discussed here, is it not? "No one knows..."? Really? I do. And, I would imagine that many others do, too.
Amazing production, saxs are compressed to a different feel then usual sax sounds, and Paul’s bass is so inventive, different on each part, George’s vocal is perfect, he’s so underrated…one of my favorites!
Chris Thomas was as much a Beatle on The White Album as Billy Preston was during the Let it Be-sessions. He did the horn arrangement and played both electric piano and organ on this number and harpsichord on Piggies - and was de facto producer on large parts of the album. Superb work.
Well after 45 years (when I first heard the White Album, was too young when it came out), I finally understand the lyrics. I have always thought it was "you'll have to have them all for lunch" which made no sense.
I always loved about Paul's bass playing is his bassline constantly goes along with and compliments the guitar section instead of just being an occasional hum that happens to match the guitar part(looking at you Roger Waters)
Harrison was using desserts and lactic flavors in the songs he was writing like Sour Milk Sea and Savoy Truffle. What made him want to use horns for this song>?
Sounds like George is possibly using a slide for the solo parts. Especially the beginning of the 3rd section. Anyone else think the same? Didn't think he got into playing slide until late 69 or 70?
Messing around with the 5.1 mix until I get the group of instruments I want clear. Then I run it through mvsep and sometimes further break things down with lalalai
This would work a lot better if the timings were kept intact. Have to say, I've always loved the bass line in this tune, yet when it's isolated away from everything else it sounds lame.
I don't really see a point in keeping the silence. I'll say this video I did it too aggressively, but overall I don't see a point in keeping periods of 5-10 seconds of silence in.
Great tune, but the lyrics... oh dear. Such a pity, because the lyrical concept is so feeble, so dumb, it makes what coulda bin a contender into a bit of an embarrassment.
Lennon was absent during the first session of Savoy Truffle, but present during a subsequent session during which there was a guitar overdub. It can be heard on the far left, coming on strong from the second verse onward. That rhythm guitar part is one of my favourite parts of the White Album. That's his signature playing - very easy for me to recognize. Some say that Lennon was not on the recording, but I strongly disagree. My sources are Mark Lewisohn's two books: The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions (1988) and The Complete Beatles Chronicle (1992).

Listening this song 😊

Man they all put in such power on this tune! One of the treasures to the white album!
Ringo and his fantastic drumming !
Paul's bass lines are so insanely inventive
Damn, yes!!
Great song !! Every instrument alone is perfect. Great brass arrangement and great flow by the Rhythm section.
Saxophones. Not brass.

And piano in Long, Long, Long as well
And Moog on the theme for The Persuaders 😁
@@JannikLindquist oh my g--, I've had a 1969 epiphany!
The guy is a legend ... he produced a lot of big acts in the eighties ...
The vocals are incredible
Amazing drums by Ringo, as always
My favorite White Album track! Am i the only one??
No! You aren't😊
The instrumentation BY FAR makes up for the limited lyrical inspiration. Pure exuberance!
Limited? Clever clever story about Eric Clayton’s sweet tooth. Funny as well.
Well after 45 years (when I first heard the White Album, was too young when it came out), I finally understand the lyrics. I have always thought it was "you'll have to have them all for lunch" which made no sense.
Not me i love all the songs this too! Perhaps there are just too many songs that some get lost in the shuffle Nearly 3 hundred songs to enjoy
I always loved about Paul's bass playing is his bassline constantly goes along with and compliments the guitar section instead of just being an occasional hum that happens to match the guitar part(looking at you Roger Waters)
Paul's vocal backup is critical. He provided strength to so many George and John lead vocals. its also a Threetles track.
Ringo is THE MAN!!!
Excellent.. thank you!
Great work!!

Ronnie Ross in there on baritone, hell yeah.
Am I crazy or do the individual tracks sound better than when they're together?
The bass is a Fender Jazz bass judging by the bright treble sound. If it was Rickenbacker, it would have a much more punchy sound
most definetly 🎉
Anybody know if Paul used a pic for his bass parts? Sounds like it at times to me.
Pretty much always
Дуже шкода що занижений вокал в цій прекрасній пісні, все з'їли саксофони
Chewy horn section.
Those horns have definitely got eXtra-texture, chewy, crunchy, somewhere between montelimar and toffee.
It's crazy how 1968 Beatles sounds nothing like 1967 Beatles or 1969 Beatles.
Jazz Bass
Wow.Those Drums are heavy with Slap Back Echo.Creating Rhythm's Ringo didn't actually Play.
thats right i never really noticed that well, really pickss up the snare itself
Ringo = human metronome
What did you use to make this so clear ? I guess M V S V P ?
Messing around with the 5.1 mix until I get the group of instruments I want clear. Then I run it through mvsep and sometimes further break things down with lalalai
No Lennon on this one eh?
No sir
What a surprise that he sat out a George song 🙄 Then he would go on to sit out of Something and Here Comes the Sun
Прекрасно обошлись без Леннона.
This would work a lot better if the timings were kept intact.
Have to say, I've always loved the bass line in this tune, yet when it's isolated away from everything else it sounds lame.
could you please in the future not skip the silences in the individual tracks
I don't really see a point in keeping the silence. I'll say this video I did it too aggressively, but overall I don't see a point in keeping periods of 5-10 seconds of silence in.
Shame about that guitar/organ track. Would've loved to make a mix of this song without those dreadful horns.
Great tune, but the lyrics... oh dear. Such a pity, because the lyrical concept is so feeble, so dumb, it makes what coulda bin a contender into a bit of an embarrassment.
It's about George's best friend Eric Claptons and his "sweet tooth". Addiction to sweets.
Seriously, there is always someone to nit pick at something. just read up on what the songs about before spouting.
@@ChrisCrossClash It's about Eric Clapton eating sweets. What's interesting about that?
@@sratusGeorge is allowed to make a song about everything!
Why are you listening to the Beatles then? Most of the lyrics are dumb and/or simple
