"Miss Daisy Hawkins picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been". This line came to Paul while sitting at a piano in Jane Asher's parent's house. Paul then took these lyrics to John's house where Ringo added the 'darning the socks' line and George added, 'look at all the lonely people.' With that, the beautiful and haunting Eleanor Rigby was born. Billy and Jay go deep on this one!
Learn the names of all of the string players and why George Martin had to flex on them. Which version of the Eleanor Rigby Origin story do Billy and Jay think is the most likely story?
You'll hear a lot of familiar names in this episode as well - they discuss the connection that Paul's Dad, Mal Evans, Donovan, Vivaldi, Bernard Herrman, Jerry Lieber and the band America all have with Eleanor Rigby. Jay and Billy also discuss the interesting reasons people have given when requesting this song to be played live - THE UNDERTAKER! This is the perfect episode to listen to if you find yourself darning your socks in the night when there's nobody there. We hope you care! Enjoy Eleanor Rigby!"
