My Bowl of Rice Krispies ain't what it used to be...genius....

FABBBB! !!

It's weird,I like this earlier demo and his other version of The Boxer(The one with the "missing verse").

There was verison of this song for a Bronx Zoo Commercial.

WOOOOOW, I really prefer the lyrics on this version.

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

This is quite a nice listen. Gotta say, as much as I love the final version, I kinda wish this would at least get released in some official form.

[Sporty4Harvey]

Can anybody make out the lyrics where he kinda mumbles? This is a fascinating demo -- wonder why he changed it.

[twinoak170]

@Sporty4Harvey I think it was nothing more than mumbles. He had the melody, didn't have the lyrics yet. Paul McCartney had scrambled eggs (yesterday), Paul Simon has a bowl of rice krispies.

[Sporty4Harvey]

@twinoak170 Ha -- good analogy. That makes sense.
