Van Morrison - Blowin' My Contract
In 1967 Van Morrison was desperate to get out of his contract with Bang records, who weren't promoting him, or even paying him on time. So went into the studio and cut 31 improvised mini-songs, and delivered them to the label as his contractual obligation. (Yes, he went out with a Bang)
"The Big Royalty Check"
I'm waiting
For my royalty check to come
And it still hasn't come yet
It's about a year overdue
I guess it's coming from
The big royalty check in the sky
I waited and the mailman
Never dropped it in my letterbox
Oh, oh oh, oh
I guess it's a
Big royalty check in the sky
Ohh, baby
But you can't beat the tax man
And me all at once
"Ring Worm"
"Have a Danish"
Van has so much Celtic soul in him he can't help but make these ad-libbed GFY put-ons mystically swing. If you listen very closely, you can hear harbingers of Astral Weeks...

Without a doubt. Aided and abetted, of course, by Irish whiskey and vodka.

Awesome.
For some reason "I Like Traffic Lights" from Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album comes to mind.

Guitarist Randy Bachman Demystifies the Opening Chord of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’
quote:
You could call it the magical mystery chord. The opening clang of the Beatles’ 1964 hit, “A Hard Day’s Night,” is one of the most famous and distinctive sounds in rock and roll history, and yet for a long time no one could quite figure out what it was.
In this fascinating clip from the CBC radio show, Randy’s Vinyl Tap, the legendary Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive guitarist Randy Bachman unravels the mystery. The segment is from a special live performance, “Guitarology 101,” taped in front of an audience at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto back in January, 2010. As journalist Matthew McAndrew wrote, “the two-and-a-half hour event was as much an educational experience as it was a rock’n'roll concert.”
quote:
One highlight of the show was Bachman’s telling of his visit the previous year with Giles Martin, son of Beatles’ producer George Martin, at Abbey Road Studios. The younger Martin, who is now the official custodian of all the Beatles’ recordings, told Bachman he could listen to anything he wanted from the massive archive–anything at all.
Bachman chose to hear each track from the opening of “A Hard Day’s Night.” As it turns out, the sound is actually a combination of chords played simultaneously by George Harrison and John Lennon, along with a bass note by Paul McCartney. Bachman breaks it all down in an entertaining way in the audio clip above.
