We could go on and on for sure...one more that I found interesting , sadly, because I loved and still do the Fab 4..Lennon song...How do you sleep..


What he had to say: "Those freaks was right when they said you was dead."


“The sound you make is muzak to my ears”. Now them’s fightin’ words. After the Beatles split in 1970, fans were left heartbroken having to stand at the sidelines and watch the two main visionaries of the group take jabs at each other. The reason we picked this one in particular is because it’s just so painful to hear how much resentment Lennon carried towards McCartney. Besides, they just don’t make diss tracks like this anymore.


‘How Do You Sleep?’ is as barbed, biting and personal as they come but not once does Lennon make use of the F- or N-word (the latter wouldn’t make any sense in this case but that’s not the point). The reason Lennon wrote it was because he felt there were lines in some of McCartney’s songs, most notably ‘Too Many People’, that were intended as digs at him, McCartney later confirmed this to be true. If you’re wondering how other Beatles Ringo Starr and George Harrison were feeling while Lennon and McCartney were lyrically duking it out; Harrison actually played slide guitar on ‘How Do You Sleep?’, maybe to indicate whose side he was on or maybe just because he liked playing slide guitar. Starr seemed more intent on restoring the peace and visited Lennon while he was recording to tell him: “That's enough, John”.
