This is on board the boat in Tahiti during the trip with John, Cynthia and Pattie.

A Tribute to "Savoy Truffle".



Released on the Beatles "White Album" of 1968, "Savoy Truffle"is, to me,one of the most underrated Beatles songs of all time.I love it.If I hear it,it will be stuck in my head for hours.
Gotta love a man who sings about chocolate.
Actually, in the song he is poking fun at his buddy Eric Clapton's chocolate addiction, and the chorus--"But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle"--- refers to the state of Eric's teeth.
The lyrics and candy names are derived from a box of Mackintosh Good News chocolates.
All of the candy names used in the song are authentic except cherry cream and coconut fudge.Pineapple treat was changed to pineapple heart,probably to get the rhyme.


Lyrics:

Creme tangerine and Montélimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge--really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're gonna know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You'll shout aloud

But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour--
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?..

Creme tangerine and Montélimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know its good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.
Yes, you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.


..and, just for fun, here is a YouTube video somebody made utlizing the song as background music as they explored an amusing Beatles mystery: How the heck George Harrison could eat so much and still stay thin as a rail.

Most Beautifullest.



I think every time this picture comes up in the LiveJournal Beatles groups to which I belong, scores of people comment on how beautiful it is.I would have to agree.And it isn't even posed,just a moment captured.

Sharing Tea.



This pic, on the set of A Hard Day's Night (I think)is just beyond adorable.Don't know who the youngster is, but George seems quite happy to share his cuppa with him.

Don't Breathe on the Blue Meanie, George.

This is a quick little Yellow Submarine interview clip.Geo is not only silly as usual,but he's hassling a Blue Meanie offscreen.And while he's doing that,he's going slack-jawed,a common habit of his.Enjoy.

Itty Kid Georgie.



Here's little kid George, probably only about 15,with John and Paul when they were collectively known as the Quarrymen.

Dress to the Right.



Fans bothering George at his first home, Kinfauns,in the late 60's.

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.



'nuff said.

Watermelon.



Taken on the trip to Tahiti with Pattie,John and Cynthia,this pic is nineteen kinds of hot.

Meet My Lamp.



I've read that this is just George at home,during a small party.I think that's why I like it, he simply looks comfortable and natural.

Classic Lineup



A fantastic early pic of the Beatles.It's easier to compare heights and such when they are all standing on the same level, of course. Paul and George were the same height, John about an inch shorter.George had a longer torso than Paul,though.And then there's dear little teeny Ringo on the end.:)

With Painting.



Geo seems unimpressed with a painting of the Boys which is serving as a backdrop.

Just look over your shoulder....



"Enjoying the scenery, luv?"

"Land Ho!"




At the WDGY press conference,George peeps through a rolled-up magazine telescope.
This is one of my favorite interviews,and can be found on the DVD Fun with the Fab Four.

Paul and George Butt Heads




I often wonder if these two ever had a case of conking their heads together on stage in an over-enthusiastic rush to the microphone.

"Is This On?"



During the WDGY press interview, George hassles the microphone.

Mum, Dad, Wifey and--?



Here's an unusual one.Here's Geo's parents, Harry and Louise, wife Pattie,and an unidentified fan.

"Yeah, right."



This magazine cover cracks me up.Read all the gobbledygook in the upper right corner, then cast your eyes back at Geo's face:"I can't believe the crap they write about us."

George breaks his neck--almost.



Darn! I cannot remember where the Boys are in this pic, but look at George checking out the hot babe standing behind them.It seems that she was a Miss America candidate,if memory serves.

New Home,'64.



A 1964 newspaper article featuring George at his just-purchased home in Esher called "Kinfauns".George pretty much bought this home,like a bowerbird,to install his new girlfriend and future wife, Pattie Boyd.I have to admit it was a rather smart,if abrupt, move, as the Beatles' hectic schedule and nonexistent privacy left no time or chance to get to know a girl very well.
Love the sandals and black socks.Not to mention the sexy stance.Rawr.

Double-Oh-Seven



George,in a sharp "007" T-shirt, sits on the diving board of the pool he designed himself at his first house bought with his Beatles earnings.This house is a bungalow located in Esher, and bears the name "Kinfauns".

George and Olivia,Out on the Town




I honestly don't know which was a nicer couple--George and his first wife Pattie Boyd, or his second one(and mother of his son Dhani),Olivia Arias.Such a sweet, classy pair these two were, though.
Hah, just noticed Geo's tie is crooked.

George Having a Good Cough...oops!



Not sure what's going on here, but I bet this pic was taken by a fellow Beatle.I'm guessing John.

Teeth.




Teeth.He had 'em.

A Hot Shave



For some reason I find pics of George shaving incredibly sexy.

Singing to No One In Germany



All I know at the time of this writing is that this pic was taken in Germany.Looks like he's singing to himself,probably tuning up before a show.

Nice shot with guitar



This is simply a nice shot,a good pose.He looks very dignified,if rather amused..

Oh, George, not another ciggy..



Sometimes it really pulls at my heart when I see pics of George smoking, knowing that's what killed him.Even when he was dying, he fully admitted that was what gave him cancer.The big dummy(sigh).
But, this is a nice picture, and I hated to see it go to waste.

More Beatle Backsides



Haha, Let's see, the order is John, Ringo, George, then Paul.My,Paul has a womanly butt in this pic.

Extra in a weird dress.



An extra(in a very strange dress) in the movie "Help" gets to mess about with the boys between takes.Lucky girl.
I might also add that George is sporting his wacky bleached jeans that he created himself by pouring bleach directly on them to see how it would turn out.Creative!:)

Which to Choose?




A great pic.He looks remarkably like his son, as well.

Piss off!





George apparently not appreciating being interrupted whilst reading the newspaper.
