Here come old flat-top
He was groovin' up with me
That's Chuck Berry singing You Can't Catch Me.

I'm sure John wished he had never ripped that off. It ended up costing him dearly.
A lawsuit ensued; John & Yoko had broken up; Lennon was using; and Phil Spector was producing.
A recipe for disaster and the album took a year to record and produce.
Ah -- it's only rock 'n' roll ...
