John Lennon Said 1 of The Beatles' Hits Was 'A Bit of a Mocking Song'

The Beatles were a band — but sometimes, they were a bit of a comedy troupe. For example, they starred in comedies, made people laugh during interviews, and released a number of humorous songs. John Lennon even revealed that one of The Beatles’ hits was “a bit of a mocking song.” Here’s what he had to say.When Jonathan Cott interviewed John for Rolling Stone, Cott brought up how The Beatles will often distinguish between friends and lovers in their music. For example, he noted the use of the word “baby” in “Baby You Can Drive My Car” — which made it clear the song was about a lover. He contrasted that lyric with the use of the word “friend” in “We Can Work It Out.” Cott also opined that some bands used the term “baby” in a demeaning way, but not The Beatles.
