This day in music history.

August 15, 1980, George Harrison's book "I Me Mine" is published. In the book George admits to hating Beatle mania. He also explains the inspiration for the songs he wrote. Some of the explanations were a little disappointing to hard core Beatle fans that were always trying to read some cosmic truths into Beatles songs. One such story in the book was Georges inspiration for the song "Savoy Truffle" from the white album. George explained that Eric Clapton had sent a box of chocolates back stage at a concert. The name of the chocolates was Good News chocolates and George said that his favorite was the Savoy Truffle and they were on the bottom, so of course "you had to have them all pulled out to have a Savoy truffle". LOL
Savoy Truffle by The Beatles
Cream tangerine and Mont à limar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
To have a Savoy truffle.
Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge--really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
to have a Savoy truffle.
You might not feel it now But when the pain cuts through
You're gonna know and how The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You'll shout aloud
You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour--
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?..
Creme tangerine and Mont à limar
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know its good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
to have a Savoy truffle.
