Recorded during the Get Back sessions at Apple on 24 January 1969, Paul plays to John a song about Hunter Davies, inspired during their holidays in Portugal (December 1968)

 "[..]I remember one tune he played to me in Portugal which he had written on the lavatory (he rarely went there without his guitar) and was called ‘There you go, Eddie’. Just a short verse and I don’t think he ever completed it. He discovered that my first Christian name is Edward, something I’ve always kept quiet.”  Hunter Davies

Years later, he heard it on a bootleg tape, but it never appeared on any album. “What a shame - I’d love to have been the inspiration and subject of a Beatles song", sighs Davies.

This song is so pretty

Omg guys, you gotta listen to the end … they start to sub in other names (“Eddie, you dog,” “Bernard, you dog,” “Nigel, you dog), and then Paul changes it to “Mimi” (John goes, “oh, don’t do that!”), but he says “Mimi, you cat.” (She always had cats.)

Ughhh they knew each other so well. (Also their voices just sound so nice and comfortable and good together here.)

I love it when Paul’s voice gets so soft and hearing him joke around with John is just so beautiful <3

    I’ve just discovered Bernard was a dog belonging to John (One Two Three Four, by Craig Brown)
