"Mr. Moonlight." Those covers they did in '63 were from their stage act. They didn't have an album full of their good songs yet. The covers after that were because they were too busy and burnt out from working so hard, that they just didn't sit down and write something. I think that possibly John and Yoko were the only people who liked "Revolution 9," but they were on narcotics then, and that could have had something to do with it.

I actually like Mr Moonlihght compared to 4 or 5 of the silly songs on the White lp...like WildHoney Pie, Do it In The Road, Dont Pass Me By, Revolution 9 (which isnt even a proper song....). And Dig It and Maggie Mae from Let It Be are also a waste of studio time.

For me - it is. "Revolution 9" - it's a complete nonsense, obviously born under destructive influence of Yoko. It's always was weird for me, that George Martin allowed to add this piece of crap to The Beatles LP. Sure, he wasn't in charge there, but yet...it's just a horrible "song".

The other song John wanted to put on The White Album was "What's The New Mary Jane." They didn't want that to be on there even more than "Revolution 9."
