Episode 253: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 35: George Harrison, "This Song"

Dave and Chris go back into the lab to discuss a quirky, satirical song about the copyright lawsuit leveled against George Harrison in 1976 called "This Song." As always, we discuss the musical arrangement, the lyrics, the musical allusions, and the witty lyrics. And make sure you watch the accompanying video to see some "guest stars" you might recognize!:

We also give a quick news update, with a prescient foreshadowing about the reaction to the upcoming Beatles Anthology release!
