“Song Of Love” is an improvisational track credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
On January 14, 1969, during the Beatles’ “Get Back” sessions, Paul McCartney was at the piano and improvised this track:
Perhaps inspired by the 1947 film of the same name, he then plays several renditions of “Song of Love,” laughingly singing in falsetto. From the second ‘take’ on he uses various affected voices, including a Latin crooner imitation. On the final run-through he offers an exaggerated Elvis impersonation, slurring the words until they’re unrecognizable.
