Ringo and his “funny fills” (his words) on full display here…and some excellent guitar interplay between Lennon and Harrison.
One of my favorite tracks, because the opening line is an instant hook (“…I know what it’s like to be dead” - how can that not grab you?!), no McCartney on the final mix (he was being pissy for not getting his way, so Harrison did the bass part), and a good example of what Harrison brought to the band behind the scenes - Lennon was stuck for material and he brought in snippets of a few different songs he was working on, and Harrison stitched them together into one cohesive thing.
