Beatles ad lib references in the Who's "I Need You"
« on: September 06, 2023, 01:22:10 AM »

I've been a dedicated Who fan for more than 40 years (yikes, that makes me feel really old), and I never noticed the Beatles references in "I Need You" (the Who song, not the Beatles one). It's not a song I've listened to often. Apparently Keith Moon sings it—another thing I didn't know; I assumed it was Pete—and at about 00:52 he says "Let us come and sitar with you," which I assume is a reference to George, and then at around 1:16 he says "Gingo (Jingo?) and Reorge are coming down later with their wives." N.B.: I actually learned this on Reddit. Who knows Reddit could ever be useful.  ;)

This reminds me of the sort of word play John would engage in. Anyway, here's the clip:
