Rattles - You Can't Have Sunshine Everyday
Thanks to Ted for peeling this one off in his now-legendary Turtle Dov mix. This song is a forerunner of Beck's Loser, and a descendant of the Hey Jude outro and (more remotely) Thus Spake Zarathustra*. On a side note, I'm liking these folks' sartorial decisions.
*I am becoming increasingly convinced of a crackpot theory of my own devising, namely that the Hey Jude outro (Na, na, na, na-na-na na, etc.) was subconsciously influenced by R. Strauss's Thus Spake Zarathustra. Note that 2001: A Space Odyssey was released on 4/4/68, and Hey Jude was recorded on 7/31/68.
Did Paul see 2001 before Hey Jude was written? IDK, but dig this:
"In the Magical Mystery Tour film, Flying was used to accompany landscape scenes of Iceland taken from an aeroplane. These sequences were unused outtakes from Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey."

An even better "Hey Jude" outro derivative is Elton John's "Can I Put You On" (from the absolutely incredible "11-17-70").
Thanks for the tip, Jodial. I will check that out!
i like the tsz/hey jude theory, but as far as this song goes, i'm hearing a lot more zep than beatles -- notably the riff from the electric half of "bring it on home."
Good call, Barn, I can hear the Bring It On Home riff in there too...
