Talk:Mary Had a Little Lamb (Wings song)

Misleading statement

"McCartney has claimed that record logs reveal that the song was recorded before "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" had been banned by the BBC, but a source says that the song was recorded after 'Give Ireland Back to the Irish'"

This is misleading. The source (Tony Clark) says the song was recorded after 'Give Ireland Back to the Irish' but still could have been recorded before 'Give Ireland...' was banned by the BBC. The statement by Tony Clark is not necessarily incompatible with McCartney's assertion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.72.124.138 (talk) 15:21, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Its very possible that "Mary had" was a clever dig at Lennon, with Yoko easily replacing Mary, the "white as snow" Lamb being John who was hardly an innocent but at that time was portraying himself as such and "Followed her to school" being a reference to John breaking the Beatles unwritten rule about no Wags in the studio.86.161.186.179 (talk) 16:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Mary Had a Little Lamb

Besides the traditional version, and the version by Paul McCartney, another version that spoofs the traditional one goes something like this:

Mary had a little lamb

Her father killed it dead,

And now it goes to school with her

Between two pieces of bread.

It could be worse! Best, --Discographer (talk) 03:49, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
