The Beatles - Only a Northern Song

“Only A Northern Song was a joke relating to Liverpool, the Holy City in the North of England. In addition, the song was copyrighted Northern Songs Ltd, which I don’t own, so: ‘It doesn’t really matter what chords I play… as it’s only a Northern Song’.” - George Harrison

“The filmmakers wanted some new songs from us, so we recorded Only A Northern Song in Abbey Road. I remember playing a silly trumpet. My dad used to play. I can’t, but I can mess around a lot - and that song gave me the perfect framework. It was very tongue in cheek.” - Paul McCartney
