I never heard This Song before.  I really like it!

I do too, Loco Mo. It's a commentary on the plagiarism suit that claimed he stole the melody for My Sweet Lord from He's So Fine.

One of Georges stinkers in my book, his quality control mustve been switched off when he released that.

I always liked this one. Upbeat and uptempo.  Which wasn’t common for George at the time. It was actually the song that got me into him as a solo artist. I was 12 or something when it came out so I went and bought the album. One of the first records I bought from memory.

I'm with Moog. It's refreshingly tongue-in-cheek, with the sardonic humour which permeated the wonderful Thirty Three & 1/3 sessions - a real breath of fresh air after the grimly ponderous (and all too often melody-devoid) sermonising from 1973-75.
