The Beatles - Savoy Truffle (2009 Stereo Remaster)

[TheJamesCaesar]

Horribly underrrated, but one of the best Beatles songs IMO.

[U105066]

I don't know why they called him the quiet Beatle

[niggaT42000]

THE SONG IS ERIC CLAPTON.....EXPLAINS GEORGE HARRISON.

''AT THAT TIME, ERIC HAD A LOT OF CAVITITES IN HIS TEETH AND SOME NEEDED DENTAL WORK''

[gdosic]

I love the piercing buzzy tone they got with the guitar solo.It's almost like they were trying to simulate a dentist drill. You can almost feel your teeth aching when you listen to it.

[maxkerby]

looks like george had a sweet tooth

[MrSmudgyQuill]

@maxkerby He wrote for Clapton because he had a sweet tooth

[Joel51265]

nice apple tart, coconut fudge!!!

[inmyplace1001]

No dislikes. Of course, this are The Beatles

[DaddyPopcorn]

This song rocks. Hard.  Love the Saxophones on the guitar solo. Love the rhythm guitar on the last verse... chunk-chunka-chnuka ! ! !

[MiguelBriskosus]

Whte? LOL

[brianallancobb]

Badass bass.

[janicerosemiller]

ow. it hurts. great song though.

[janicerosemiller]

pierces the EARS if its too loud.

[VivaDjojo]

It sounds like "The bay" by Metronomy

[brianallancobb]

@VivaDjojo

The Bay sounds like Savoy Truffle. :-)

[JefferstChmilst]

I've always thought of this as what it would sound like if Josh Homme wrote a Beatles song.

[HasARubberSoul]

Wasting internet listening to this on YouTube even though it's on my iPod because it sounds friggin awesome with the earphones in further...

And no luck trying to find TheFatherOfFire's comment...

[F5veSeveN]

@HasARubberSoul If I'm correct it's four comments down - not including yours.

[paperl8]

Haven't heard this song in a long time. Sounds fantastic remastered.

[gdosic]

I love the buzzy piercing tone they got with the guitar solo.

It's almost like they were trying to simulate a dentist drill. You can almost feel your teeth aching when you listen to it.

[StanleyKu]

@gdosic I thought the same thing! Ha Ha....it also reminds me of the "piercing" pain of a toothache in general.

[vendetta920]

I love dhem all songs *.*

[netzahuacoyotl]

I think George is making a not so subtle commentary on Paul's music.

"You know that what you eat you are

But what is sweet now turns so sour

We all know Ob La Di Bla Dah

But can you tell me where you are?"

[p0llenp0ny]

@netzahuacoyotl "Savoy Truffle on The White Album was written for Eric. He's got this real sweet tooth and he'd just had his mouth worked on. His dentist said he was through with candy. So as a tribute I wrote, 'You'll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy Truffle'. The truffle was some kind of sweet, just like all the rest - cream tangerine, ginger sling - just candy, to tease Eric." - George Harrison

[netzahuacoyotl]

@p0llenp0ny You're right! I'd forgotten that story. I still think George was taking a poke at Paul in the verse I referred to in my previous comment. But, yeah, it was written for Clapton...

[netzahuacoyotl]

@netzahuacoyotl One of my favorite Beatle tracks BTW. Love the horn lines!

[Timp7503]

Zero dislikes! Nice!

[lehtinen21]

Nice, 300 against zero. We could win this!

[janicerosemiller]

I memorized the lyrics... i don't need no stinking lyrics! although i want them...

[janicerosemiller]

no, john didn't play on this song.

[janicerosemiller]

THIS SONG IS ABOUT... NONE OTHER THAN... CANDY!!!

[thehandylightman]

My interpretation of this song might be about sex .just listen to it like that hmmmmmmmmm :)

[pandabox94]

@thehandylightman how the fuck do you have sex?

[jimmy3284]

@pandabox94 haha, i'm with him on this one. This song is sexy as fuck. (no pun intended)

[MrCHAQUETTA]

@pandabox94 HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! NIIIIICE!!!

[Perfidia4ever]

La chitarra ritmica eccelle disegnando spettacolari geometrie sonore che all'ascolto fanno ancora emozionare dopo tanti anni.E' inutile, il talento di George non sarà mai del tutto apprezzato: qui non ci sono più i Beatles, c'è la dimostrazione di non essere secondo a nessuno in quanto ad originalità e capacità interpretativa che tanti altri si sognano.

[MWLUCKY]

yet another lesson in bass playing

[pbrick6301]

yes folks the beatles were a great band.

and 98 % of the songs were spot on.

but this proof that all great bands have crap songs.

[CarlfredrikNB]

@pbrick6301 This proves nothing. It's my favourite song!

[pandabox94]

@pbrick6301 This is also proof that you're a total jackass.

[gdp18]

one of my favorite Harrison tunes after My Guiter Gently Weeps

[TheNamron55]

Nice Apple Tart

[elmothesex]

great song, but its utter nonsense.

[transtaganas]

@elmothesex those chords and this rythm require no meaningful lyrics

[grevejp44]

You know The Beatles are epic when they can make a reference to another song from the same album.

[DrGamer7]

@grevejp44 Which one?

[grevejp44]

@DrGamer7 obladi oblada

[ProDreamer3]

@grevejp44 If that's "epic," then that's Abbey Road?

[jac30lyn]

people who are diabetic should not listen to this song lol

[DaddyPopcorn]

Fantastic Song ! ! ! LOVE those saxophones ! ...and George's rhythm guitar on the last verse -- that chunk-a-chunk-a-chunk-a. I don't think John played on this one, did he? Anybody know?

[transtaganas]

@DaddyPopcorn he didnt

[matchbox555]

terrible song when you're on a diet

[cottonrun1]

@matchbox555 This is an anti-establishment song as was "Piggies". The truffle is a mushroom that sells for a $1000 dollars a pound.

[matchbox555]

@cottonrun1 no it was about eric claptons sweet tooth

[TheFatherOfFire]

@matchbox555 Wtf ur saying? And all the 40 ppl who liked ur f***ing comment are dumbasses.

[OdiumVacuus]

@TheFatherOfFire The song is about chocolate. He's not saying the song is bad, he's saying it's not nice to hear about delicious desserts while you're abstaining from eating them.

Learn to read, for fuck's sake.

[BloodyT3ddy]

@TheFatherOfFire Learn English

[brianallancobb]

@TheFatherOfFire

The Savoy Truffle is a candy.

[TheGaetano1988]

george era un pò in confusione musicale in questo periodo.......

[MonkeySeeism]

But you have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle.

[RubHerSoul1]

Ever notice how great McCartney's bass and backup vocals enhance this already phenomenal tune, and then George even manages to rip into him in the third verse as a thank you? Priceless!

[exitoyfama]

Queen mercury think your style with this son

[KREEPNASTY1]

I love the Beatles...They could do No wrong.

[TheBraybeatles]

@KREEPNASTY1. Well said!! They were so so perfect.

[KREEPNASTY1]

@TheBraybeatles Yeaahhhh !!

[iztech101]

@KREEPNASTY1 Yes they could , look at their song revoulution 9

[KREEPNASTY1]

@iztech101 LOL. Yeah I don't think Paul was too happy with that number...But it actually Did have it's fair share of "fans", A.K.A., The Manson Family.

[jwjeffrey]

Yes, I know George did apologized,I read that in Mark Lewison Book The beatles recording sessions.But thanks for the reply.

[GonzaloGolpe]

I have faith in humanity. No negative votes here ;)

[jwjeffrey]

I bet the horns must have sounded great until George had the engineer compress their sound to make it sound dirty.

[redletter2008]

@jwjeffrey George did apologize to the musicians that played the horns for what he had done to their sound. He said it's what he wanted. They got paid and had the honor of playing for the Bealtes. I have always been fond of Savoy Truffle and its author. He should have had more songs on The Beatles (hell, all Fab LPs after '66).

[Sarc37]

One of George's best songs.

[TheSunking1977]

it had nothing to do with a girlfriend. he was already married when this was wrote.

[edwardelricfangirl1]

lol this song makes me crave chocolate everytime i hear it

[trblcumn]

FLOSS

[raintalonwindclan]

George is yummy. ;)

[Fitzmartel]

Good ol' Eric Clapton's sweet tooth :)

[KREEPNASTY1]

ROCK and ROLL !!!

[sonikku70]

Once you find the real reason for why george wrote this song, you will shit your pants.

[bunnyyummy123]

@sonikku70 Eric Clapton's love of chocolate? Weed? xD

[sonikku70]

@bunnyyummy123 He wrote this for the guy who stole his girlfriend.

[bunnyyummy123]

@sonikku70 Yeah lol Eric Clapton.

[Kendallat15]

Never heard a song written so well that you have to go and eat some sweets afterwords :)

[beatleluv89]

oh god I love this song :) in my opinion, this song (mostly the lyrics) sounds like a John song, which of course is good. Gotta love Georgie!!! :D

[bassmanjoe]

Mono sounds alot better than this.

[SeattleLA]

The saxes here are great.

[theejaybles]

SO good!



[The8thWalrus]

Oh now I'm hungry D:

[OroborusFMA]

I thought of this song while I was getting another root canal.

[tapeduk]

but what is sweet now turns so sour---applys to a lot of things

[TheBalladOfSgtPepper]

I love the Barry Saxaphone! Totally makes the song. Especially the descriptions of this truffle. Yumm :D

[raintalonwindclan]

Oh George, always thinking of food. ;D

[Paulmancieri67]

Gotta love the backing vocals of the one and only Paul McCartney

[Catatofish]

I just ate some Savoy Truffle. My ears loved it.

[carspete123]

@hepburn1959 Hi Yes i do mean the Double Album, But because it was White it was referred to as The Beatles White Album In 1968 when it was released :)

[carspete123]

What is the ....'The Whte Album' ??? Do you mean White Album ?

[hepburn1959]

@carspete123 What is 'White Album'? Do you mean 'The Beatles' double album? :)

[SgtPeppersification]

Zero dislikes :) TAKE THAT BIEBER

[SonOfSaxon]

This song is a true masterpiece. Love it.

[gmenrule1024]

This song is delicious and rich. With a hint of coconut.

[PaulGreen11]

@gmenrule1024 Great line, good job, right on.

[MyGodzilla99]

i don't like the beatles but this song is alright except for the lyrics -__-

[jsbm151]

@MyGodzilla99 f u u dont like the beatles die in hell

[MyGodzilla99]

@jsbm151 oh my god your so bad! looks like someone isn't getting their yoko ono plush doll for christmas -_-

[raintalonwindclan]

@MyGodzilla99 WHAT?!? HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THE BEATLES?!?

[Sweet42097]

@MyGodzilla99 then y are you on a beatles song

[MyGodzilla99]

@Sweet42097 fuck off!

[TheBeatles153]

@MyGodzilla99 None of my business, but great comeback!

[tapeduk]

Eric Clapton ate all the Good News

[BardOfXiix]

Wow they toned down the horns in this, my favorite part was the fat bari sax...much prefer the original White Album version.

[THeMaskedBlogCritic]

I love that George would throw in Hammond Organ in a lot of his songs.

[Kins1002]

Chocolate is perfect along with coffee, and this song xD

[jsmcguireIII]

munchies way back in 1968?

[immature124]

wow, i always thought this was a john song, george sounds just like john

[Tedisntakidanymore]

Bravo, George! The Lennon/McCartney music machine always held George down, but when they gave him a chance, he'd produce something sweet like this (no pun intended). Brill solo.

I think lyrics are a reference to Eric Clapton's infamous sweet tooth.

[TheTimananda]

@Tedisntakidanymore

might also refer to Paul's more saccharin pieces at that time (Obladee-Oblada..?)

[dudestr5552]

@Tedisntakidanymore They are - and George wrote the lyrics while looking at a box of chocolates in the great Clapton's home. The two were great friends (as i'm sure you knew), and Clapton was even brought in to do the solo on George's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." George co-wrote Clapton's song "Badge" (seen on Cream's "Goodbye" album), and then the two jammed together quite frequently, even in the supergroup "Delaney and Bonnie and Friends."

[cheesedimples]

@Tedisntakidanymore they are.

[theDENIMMAN]

@Tedisntakidanymore yeah and a bunch of the lyrics were taken when george had a look at a flavour list in box of chocolates eric clapton had

[lonkylaine]

Only the first 8 songs of this album would form the best album ever from any other band...Unbelievable !

[Kins1002]

...I just ate, and now this song made me hungry again -.-'

[eaz11140]

Yeah, George was a great Beatle! I particularly like his "Old Brown Shoe".

[MonaeJune]

at first i thought george said 'or did u sleep with pineapple whore' at 0:13 lol

anyways i love this song and george (he's my favorite beatle)

[96Beatlesfan]

George <3

Love this song ;)

[jeremilone]

omg this video has the most awesome top comments!

[ladystance]

By the way... thank you Eric Clapton for having inspired such a great song ;)

[TheAtheistHindu]

this reminds me of truffle cakes @ pizza outlets.. & n also of black forest pastry..

[TheBeatlesPkmnFaan42]

To bad Good News went out of business. How did that even happen if George wrote a song about it? Now I'll never be able to eat a Savory Truffle.

[cybercop112]

damn when i first heard this song i thought it was john singing

[ladystance]

@cybercop112 I think that John doesn't even play on that song... Does anybody know why?

[Killzone213Official]

i always hum that, green tangerien

[Parkyurkarkas]

All these fine confections are in the Whizzo Assortment. The ram's bladder cup is a personal favorite of mine.

[gietek]

@Parkyurkarkas All deliciously covered in lark's vomit. Yum yum!

[brianallancobb]

Not loud enough.

[serpent918]

@brianallancobb yeah, it definitely needs more cowbell

[CorvetteStingray75]

im just saying but they should put some of the white album songs (like this one) on the beatles rock band :D

[FCavendish]

Anyone else think that following the rollercoaster relationship of brianallancobb and Asskicker32294 has upstaged the video? First they hate each other, then they love each other, what's next?! Oooh I can't wait for the next installment!

[brianallancobb]

@FCavendish

I just noticed your comment. Too funny.

[brianallancobb]

Is there a better example of Paul's bass anywhere?

Not challenging anyone, just sincerely want to know.

God, what a great bass, and from somebody who only took it up because Stuart Sutcliffe died.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Damn, great job George! A cool song for any Beatle fans' sweet tooth.

I want chocolate now.

[ShimmyPilates]

The bass line is Christ like

[edwardelricfangirl1]

I like Ringo Drumming and of course i love George and this song makes me hungry lol

[jwjeffrey]

I wish they had kept a master of the horn without the compression.

[residentevlidead]

delicious song! 

[51512601]

A very underrated song. Just like Long, Long, Long, it's another George Harrison song without John Lennon participating.

[Asskicker32294]

@51512601 John was supposedly hurt that George brought Eric in to play on While My Guitar Gently Weeps...that was the excuse he gave George when the latter confronted him on the fact that he hadn't appeared on any of George's four tracks...

rest in peace both you beloved Beatle boys

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

Is it coincidence that it's the two happy ones who have survived?

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb Yeah sure dickhead...it must have been John's unhappiness that caused that little worm to shoot him down in the street. Don't be an idiot son

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

I just love the good manners of people on the Internet.

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb Look if you say something offensively stupid you are going to get insulted back...it's called karma

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

No, it's called bad manners.

But given the Internet moniker behind which you hide, it's not surprising.

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb Wow that was so witty and profound I'm speechless...I just don't know how to respond to that...my ego is crushed

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

And Lennon's getting killed wasn't? (Karma)

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb Are saying in effect that John Lennon deserved to be mudered by that lunatic?

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

Are you saying I deserved to be called a dickhead for asking what I thought was an innocent question?

But in fuller answer to your question. No, Lennon did not deserved to be murdered, by he had some really heavy karma, rolling sailors in Hamburg for cash (the group's pay was only room and board, no cash), one of which he reportedly left for dead.

Letting Julian to be raised by a stepfather.

Trashing Paul in "How Do You Sleep."

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb You are building up some heavy karma yourself by just not dropping the subject...your question was not innocent ...it was thoughtless...why don't you get a different hobby than trying to get the better of your intellectual superiors? How about we let John and George rest in peace?

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

You might be the intelllctual superior of my two-year-old.

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb Now finally you've said something worthy of my respect...something witty...you gave me a good laugh at myself...do you really have a two year old? Aren't they the cutest things at that age?

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

Twenty months, anyway. (Two-year-old sounded better.) Yes, when I don't want to strangle him, he's very cute. :-)

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb Oh don't be silly, I only had to strangle four of my kids when they hit the terrible year.

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

Too funny. God bless us all who survive that time, and especially the two-year-olds whom we permit to survive that time. :-)

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb I don't think everyone realizes the actual meaning of the term "terrible twos". It's not just when they are actually two years old. The horror begins late in their second year, goes clean through the age of two and lingers for some time whilst they are three. I'll never forget the times I had to use reverse psychology on my beloved son . I was threatening him with everything short of murder if he ate his broccoli...to get him to eat it of course. I had to do some fine acting

[brianallancobb]

@Asskicker32294

For me the terrible twos started at nine months (when first ambulatory) and didn't end until 4 1/2, when magically they turned into nice kids, just in time for kindergarten.

I'm glad our kids gave us common ground on which to meet, as kids often do. It's a universal, humbling experience.

[Asskicker32294]

@brianallancobb It's also the most important most rewarding job in the world. Changing diapers separates the men from the boys. My only child is sixteen (in four months seventeen) but he seems like he's back in the terrible two lately. I'm always wrong no matter what I say and he's always right.

I begged him to take it easy on me the other day and he's been nice for at least 48 hours plus he loves the Beatles.
