There are many obscure George Harrison songs simply because the former Beatle made the music he wanted. He didn’t make music for the charts or the record companies. His career was haphazard. Here are 10 of the most obscure George Harrison songs.
The Beatles | Dave Hogan/Getty Images 10. ‘Be Here Now’
George liked living in the moment, so “Be Here Now” held a special place inside for him. It’s a very gentle song, almost spiritual. In his 1980 memoir, I Me Mine, George wrote that he almost fell asleep with his guitar in hand while writing the calming tune. The melody came fast, and a “funny” story called “The Transformation of Richard Alpert into Baba Ram Das” inspired the lyrics. The way George sings “be here now” sounds Indian.
9. ‘Deep Blue’
“Deep Blue” came to George while his mother was dying in 1970. Even George thinks it’s an obscure song...

George Harrison didn’t get the same opportunities to lead Beatles songs as Paul McCartney and John Lennon. He did write several hits, including “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun,” but many of the songs he wrote were rejected or saved for future projects. The Beatles almost used one of the biggest hits from his solo career, but Lennon and McCartney ultimately rejected it.
George Harrison recorded a cover of ‘Got My Mind Set on You’ George Harrison | Max Scheler – K & K/Redferns
George Harrison became known as the “dark horse” of The Beatles due to his surprising success in his solo career. However, in 1982, Harrison took a five-year hiatus from music. He returned in 1987 with “Got My Mind Set on You,” the first single from his upcoming album, Cloud Nine. The song is a cover of a little-known song written by Rudy Clark and recorded by James Ray.

There are a couple of great songs from The Beatles‘ solo careers with appearances by other Beatles. The Fab Four might’ve gone their separate ways in 1970, but that didn’t mean they were through working together in some way. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr just never appeared on anything together. Here are the top five Beatles solo songs that have appearances by other Beatles.
The Beatles | Potter/Getty Images 5. ‘How Do You Sleep?’ – John Lennon’s song with an appearance from George Harrison
While George contributed slide guitar to John’s Imagine tracks “Gimme Some Truth” and “I Don’t Want To Be A Soldier,” electric guitar on “Oh My Love,” and dobro to “Crippled Inside,” his work on “How Do You Sleep?” is the most important and memorable.

Finding the weirdest George Harrison songs wasn’t hard because the former Beatle recorded many in his long career. Songs like “Crackerbox Palace” and “Thanks for the Pepperoni” were never intended to make sense.
George Harrison | Keystone/Getty Images 10. ‘Piggies’
George’s White Album tune is definitely one of his weirdest songs. However, the silly child-like lyrics have a deeper, more serious meaning. In his 1980 memoir, I Me Mine, George said “Piggies” was a “social comment” on the upper-class system at the time. George’s mother, Louise, added the hysterical lyric, “What they need’s a damn good whacking!”
9. ‘Old Brown Shoe’
“Old Brown Shoe” is strange for many reasons. It’s a love song at heart, but it’s uncertain how the lyric, “Now I’m stepping out this old brown shoe,” fits in. It could reflect a person’s journey from one life to the next once they have found love.

It wasn’t hard to choose five of George Harrison‘s most awkward interviews because he had many throughout his career. The top five will make even some of the former Beatle’s casual fans cringe.
George Harrison | Bernd Mueller/Getty Images 1. ‘Today Show,’ 1986
George’s 1986 appearance on the Today Show is one of his most awkward interviews for many reasons. At the beginning of the interview, the reporter asks about his involvement with Monty Python. She says “Monty Python” slowly, as if she is not saying it correctly. George picks up on it and imitates her in a slow American accent. You can watch it at the 2:30 mark in this video.
Her mention of Monty Python leads to a seemingly deep but confusing question about George’s philosophy of making films with his production company, HandMade Films. She says laughter is the biggest release and asks him if...

George Harrison said his fellow Beatle Ringo Starr played the drums like he played the guitar. The two musicians were similar without even trying. Here’s what George said.

During a 1987 interview on Dutch TV, George explained that his former bandmate was like himself as a musician. George explained that for so many years, they’d all grown up together, so they knew each other’s level of musicianship.
According to George, Ringo never practiced the drums, just as he never practiced the guitar. However, whenever they needed to play, they knew how to do it perfectly.
“As a drummer, I know Ringo is a great drummer, but he’s bad,” George said. “He doesn’t practice, but it doesn’t seem to matter he just picks up the drumsticks.

Aside from playing drums with the Beatles and writing music as a solo artist, Ringo Starr is a father of three. He had his first son, Zak, in 1965, later elaborating on his son’s love of music and his future time at school.

Before meeting the other Beatles, Harrison and Lennon attended Dovedale Primary School. According to IMDb, 11-year-old Paul McCartney was one of four students who passed an exam, known as “the scholarship,” in Liverpool, earning a seat at the Liverpool Institute for Boys.
When they were teenagers, Harrison, Lennon, and McCartney began making music together, eventually adding Ringo Starr (full name Sir Richard Starkey) to their lineup. IMDb notes Starr actually dropped out of school to work as a delivery boy for British Rail.

George Harrison wasn’t exactly sure if he felt like a Beatle in 1967, but he was “willing to go along with it.” Throughout his time with the group, George never felt like “Beatle George.” That was just a suit he sometimes put on, although reluctantly at the end.

During an interview on the BBC Radio program “Scene And Heard” (per Beatles Interviews), a reporter asked George how he felt about being out on the road again as “The Beatles” during the making of Magical Mystery Tour.
George didn’t know. He added that he’d never really known what it’d been like as The Beatles. As far as he was concerned, The Beatles was still something abstract. “It’s something that other people see us as The Beatles, and I try to...

In 1987, George Harrison said he was amazed he’d “gotten this far.” He’d managed to get through 10 hectic and sometimes dangerous years as a Beatle and navigated his post-Beatles life successfully.
George Harrison | Dave Hogan/Getty Images George Harrison thought it was ‘quite remarkable’ that The Beatles still had their sanity and sense of humor
As George told Rolling Stone, The Beatles did a hit-and-run. One minute they appeared, made tons of hits and albums, toured the world, met everyone, and did everything a rock star did. The next minute it was all over, and each of the Fab Four was going their separate ways.
George said they came out of the 1960s “shell-shocked.” Later, what frustrated George was that no one understood that. So much had happened, and once it was all over, people wanted the group to reunite. George kept his head down into his solo career,...

George Harrison said people wouldn’t want to see “three old men hobbling around the stage pretending to be the Fab Four.” He was sick of people asking him if The Beatles would ever reunite.
George Harrison | KMazur/Getty Images George Harrison didn’t like how much fans wanted the Fab Four to reunite
The spiritual Beatle always appreciated the fans, but he didn’t understand why some of them never let go of The Beatles. He had a problem with the people who wanted the band to continue or reunite. During a 1974 press conference (per George Harrison on George Harrison: Interviews and Encounters), George said he realized The Beatles filled a space in the 1960s and that the group meant a lot to people.
However, he also knew that some people were too attached. “I can understand that the Beatles did nice things and it’s appreciated that people still like them,...

George Harrison steered clear of approaching other famous people. He knew what it felt like when people confronted him. If George craved invisibity he rationalized that other celebrities did too.
George Harrison | Vinnie Zuffante/Getty Images George Harrison would’ve loved to be invisible, so people didn’t bother him
After experiencing Beatlemania for about 10 years, George’s nerves were shot. He said he and the band came out of the 1960s “shell-shocked. They were lucky to have their sanity and humor intact.
For much of the 1960s and 1970s, George and The Beatles couldn’t go anywhere without being mobbed by people. “A good romp? That was fair in the films,” he wrote in his 1980 memoir, I Me Mine, “but in the real world . . . we didn’t have any space . . . like monkeys in a zoo.”
Eventually, George didn’t know whether his life was a blessing or a curse.

George Harrison knew his former bandmate Ringo Starr would want to play on his 1987 album Cloud Nine before he even told the drummer about it. Actually, George didn’t leave room for discussion: Ringo would play on it no matter what.

After releasing 1982’s Gone Troppo, George stopped releasing music for a few years. The music industry had gotten too serious for him, and he craved to work with someone who understood him. So, George backed off. He recorded demos and worked with his film production company, HandMade Films.

Obviously, George got his start as the guitarist of The Beatles. It was a hectic 10 or so years being a Beatle. The group achieved international success and became one of the most famous rock ‘n’ roll bands in history. However, it all came with a price. Beatlemania took its toll.
When The Beatles split, George released All Things Must Pass as a reaction to leaving the group. He never pursued a solo career and sort of fell into it.

It’s complicated to say that George had a career because he didn’t exactly. After The Beatles split, he never pursued a solo career. He only released All Things Must Pass as a reaction to leaving the group.
However, when that triple album did well, George continued to make music and release it. Toward the late 1970s, though, things got complicated. The record companies started demanding certain music. George just wanted to be left alone to make the music he wanted. He didn’t mind if no one liked it.

More than 73 years ago, Barrett Strong, as a singer, declared “Money (That’s What I Want)” — for the first hit single from the Motown empire.
What he actually wound up getting was musical immortality. As a songwriter.
Strong — who died Sunday, Jan. 29, at the age of 81 in Detroit — co-wrote some of Motown’s most enduring hits, with a variety of collaborators but primarily the late Norman Whitfield. Those included “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” for Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight & the Pips, “War” for Edwin Starr, the Undisputed Truth’s “Smiling Faces Sometimes” and a wealth of material for the Temptations — “I Wish It Would Rain,” “Just My Imagination,” “Cloud Nine,” “Psychedelic Shack” and “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” for which Strong shared a Grammy Award.

George Harrison said that on his 1987 album, Cloud Nine, he ignored the technological advancements that had become popular since his previous album, 1982’s Gone Troppo. He wanted to make good old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll.

There were a few reasons why there were five years between Gone Troppo and Cloud Nine. First of all, George had gotten sick of contemporary music. He claimed it all sounded the same, and that’s what the record companies liked. So, George took a break and, in the meantime, recorded demos and founded his film production company, HandMade Films.

Paul McCartney says it’s still a mystery to him that The Beatles formed. He doesn’t understand how four singer-songwriters found each other and started one of the most famous rock ‘n’ roll bands in music history. It’s pretty unbelievable.

Apparently, Paul would consider The Beatles’ formation one of the world’s greatest mysteries. In The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul explained that he still doesn’t understand how it even happened.
When he’s back in Liverpool, he does a tour to see The Beatles’ old stomping grounds. It makes Paul wonder about “the chances of The Beatles getting together.”
He wrote, “We were four guys who lived in this city in the north of England, but we didn’t know each other. Then, by chance, we did get to know each other.

By the dawn of the Seventies, the protest song was considered as much a relic of the previous decade as the word “groovy,” with notable exceptions like Edwin Starr’s “War,” Neil Young’s “Ohio,” and Bob Dylan’s “George Jackson.” As Arlo Guthrie told Rolling Stone this summer, “The music business went from figuring out how they could make some money selling protest songs to realizing, ‘Well, they don’t really sell that well, so we’ll move on to something else.’ Which they did.”

The Cloud 9 gang has been dealing with a lot of death on the new season of Superstore.
Following the tornado that wreaked havoc on the big box chain store at the end of season two, it was believed that Brett (Jon Miyahara) died when he didn’t make it into the storm shelter and a foot was discovered in the wreckage. However, just after mourning his loss, he appeared in the breakroom -- much to everyone’s surprise and relief.
On season three’s Halloween episode, the gang -- all clad in fantastic costumes, with Dina (Lauren Ash) reprising her infamous cop getup -- is back in the breakroom coming to terms with the dead body discovered in the walls of the rebuilt store. As Glenn (Mark McKinney) reveals in Et’s exclusive sneak peek, it belongs to a less-than-desirable member of the Cloud 9 family.

Can Amy, Jonah, and the rest of the crew keep the doors open for season three of the Superstore sitcom? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether the TV show Superstore is cancelled or renewed for a fourth season. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration, when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we'd like to offer you the chance to rate all the season three episodes of Superstore below. Airing on the television network, Superstore stars America Ferrera, Ben Feldman, Colton Dunn, Nico Santos, Nichole Bloom, Mark McKinney, and Lauren Ash. This sitcom revolves around the diverse employees at a super-sized megastore called Cloud 9. Amy (Ferrera) is the glue that holds the place together while newer hire Jonah (Feldman) wants to prove that work doesn't have to be boring.

It’s been a long summer, but the Cloud 9 Superstore has finally re-opened for business. With it comes resolution to several hanging plot threads and more intimate character relationships. At first I wasn’t sure what to think, but by the end I was cackling at every joke, which makes me thrilled that this show is back. It’s just as funny, real, and relatable as ever. Of course, the big story was how they were planning to resolve the Jonah and Amy story after that big kiss in the second season finale.

Can lovely, innocent Blind Date really exist in the same tawdry world as Take Me Out?
Blind Date is coming back this weekend. So much has changed since the 1980s, both on TV and in society itself, that what returns to our screens may not be a straight-forward, fully-intact teleport of the format, but rather a mutant mish-mash: a half-fly Jeff Goldblum of a show just begging to be put out of its misery.
