The WORD by The Beatles Fun Facts and Trivia

Say the word and you’ll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I’m thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?

It’s so fine, it’s sunshine
It’s the word, love

In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I’ve got it, the word is good

Spread the word and you’ll be free
Spread the word and be like me
Spread the word I’m thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?

It’s so fine, it’s sunshine
It’s the word, love

Every where I go I hear it said
In the good and bad books that I have read

Say the word and you’ll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I’m thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?

It’s so fine, it’s sunshine
It’s the word, love

Now that I know what I feel must be right
I’m here to show everybody the light

Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It’s the word I’m thinking of
And the only word is love

It’s so fine, it’s sunshine
It’s the word, love

Say the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love
Say the word love

Wild Honey Pie” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 album The Beatles (the White Album). Paul McCartney conceived the song in February 1968 while the band was in Rishikesh, India, and recorded it six months later without his bandmates. He later recalled that they were “in an experimental mode” at the time. Less than a minute long, the song consists of the words “honey pie” shrieked repeatedly over a harpsichordbass drum, and contorted acoustic guitar notes. It is unrelated to “Honey Pie” despite the similar title. In McCartney’s telling, the fate of “Wild Honey Pie” was undecided at first, but Pattie BoydGeorge Harrison‘s wife, liked it, and so it was included on the White Album.

The musicologist Alan W. Pollack thought that “[there’s] not much of either here” when discussing the song’s harmony and melody. As for its style, genres ranging from psychedelic folk to blues to “miscellaneous” have been attributed to it.

Music critics generally consider “Wild Honey Pie” an odd, strident, and frivolous song,[a] and some such as Mark Beaumont have ranked it as one of the Beatles’ worst. Within the context of the White Album, however, the song has drawn some support for suiting its unusual aesthetic. The American alternative rock band Pixies often performed “Wild Honey Pie” in their early shows; a live cover was included on their album Pixies at the BBC.

The only recorded Beatles performance comes from their January 1, 1962 Decca audition — with George Harrison singing lead.
