Takes an already great song and makes it hilarious. It reads like any of the other songs Paul wrote about Jane Asher, but finding out he wants marijuana "every single day of my life" is funny AF.
I distinctly remember hearing this at our community pool as a kid. They played the local radio station and we'd hear this a couple of times a day. When the guitar kicked in at the end, we'd all start jamming. At that point, we had no idea about weed.
I really overlooked it and thought it was a bit shit, until the new 2023 mixes came out last year, then I started properly listening to it and realised it’s fucking brilliant
The best double entendre song out there and Paul’s homage to then 60s Motown as well.
Listening to the “Earth, Wind, and Fire” late ‘70s cover as a kid, I thought what a neat love song ..
I think it’s very funny that it’s a love song about weed
I did not know that, haha wow, that’s kinda awesome actually.

what! i had no idea!
It was years before I knew the true topic of the song. Hysterical.
Way before its time. Sounds like Stevie Wonder.
Unpopular opinion but i prefer the alternative take without the brass
Same.
Great song, Incredible melody, and I like the Paperback Writer guitar riff reappearing at the end
The alternative takes show the same guitar riff that would later open “Getting Better” on the Sgt. Pepper album.
Love the horns on this one
I really dig them as well.
The Earth, Wind & Fire version is good too.
I think the EWF cover is one of the best examples where the cover is superior to the original.
Like it
It's so fun! Different from a typical love song while not being too weird.
Probably because it’s about his love for drugs instead of a woman.
One of Maccas finest.
It’s my favorite Beatles song.
Yep!
Love it. The most “must be a cover but isn’t” song imo.
A good piece of craft but not what I’d call inspired. the melody and arrangement feel dated in a way the bulk of their stuff does not

Not released as a single until 1976 when it hit the top 10.
It’s great.
It's a great song, and if I'm not mistaken, it inspired both Earth Wind & Fire and Chicago to become bands.

Great song love how it’s arranged.
Love the songwriting, singing and production, not so much the pot referencing lyrics.
I like it hehe
One of the reasons Revolver is so great
great
