Best Answer

"How Do You Sleep?" It was hardly concealed; he preferred an open attack. Harrison and Starr played on the track, but Starr finished the session saying "John, that's enough." The Imagine album was issued with a photo of Lennon grasping a pig's ears, in a blatant mockery of McCartney's recent Ramalbum cover.

McCartney admitted that lines in his song "Too Many People" on Ram were about Lennon, who claimed later that "How Do You Sleep?" was more about himself than Paul.

Which member of the beatles wrote the yellow submarine?

Paul McCartney wrote the song, but it is credited to "Lennon/McCartney" as was all the songs written by McCartney or Lennon, either separately or together, during the time when they were The Beatles. Ringo sang lead.


Who were the Beatles main song writers?

Lennon/ McCartney wrote most of the Beatles songs, though Starr did write 1 of the most well known ones, Octopuses Garden. Lennon and McCartney had a handshake agreement going back to their earliest days that all songs either of them wrote for the band would carry the authorship of "Lennon/McCartney". In the bands earlier days - up until the time they really "hit it big" - many (not all) of their songs were genuine collaborative efforts. "She Loves You" is a typical example. But from that point on, it is more accurate to say that one or the other wrote the song, with the one who didn't being a "consultant". To be fair, Lennon wrote the lion's share of the groups big hits, but when McCartney wrote a winner, he really wrote a winner ("Michelle", "Yesterday", "And I Love Her", "Hey Jude".) Another good example of a collaborative effort is "We Can Work it Out". The main chorus "Try to see it my way . . . " is McCartney. The counterpoint view in the bridge ("Life is very short . . . ") is Lennon.
