Paul McCartney Disputed Claims That John Lennon Hated 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da'

When Geoff Emerick published Here, There and Everywhere (2006) about his time working for The Beatles, fans of the Fab Four had cause to celebrate. Previously, if you wanted to hear from the inner circle at Beatles sessions, you had to go to the bone-dry All You Need Is Ears (1979) by producer George Martin.

Emerick didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Between anecdotes of close-mic’ing violin players and piecing together “Strawberry Field Forever” from two separate recordings, Emerick told a few unforgettable tales featuring Beatles at one another’s throats.

One of those stories revolved around the 1968 sessions for “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” In Emerick’s recollection, John Lennon got sick of the Paul McCartney-penned track shortly after the sessions began. (John referred to it as more of “Paul’s granny music sh*t,” Emerick wrote in Here, There and Everywhere.)
