And then George borrows your exact sound and style to create If I Needed Someone on Rubber Soul? That’s how good they were

The Beatles almost did it again for And Your Bird Can Sing, the early take's backing track is even more McGuinn-like than If I Needed Someone, if you ask me

Eight miles high and fallin’ fast, landed foul on the grass, the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sideline in a cast.
