“I could even hear what they were saying off-mike; ‘Oh Paul, you’re so cute tonight.’ was met with the reply ‘Sod off, Lennon.’”

Well, I’ll tell you one of the things that affected me — and I never even thought about it before but the footage is there — I had an appreciation how utterly painful this must have been for Paul. Because he’s watching his closest creative collaborator — someone he’s known since he was fifteen or sixteen years old — start to drift and go towards Yoko. John’s not pushing Paul away, but Paul’s watching Yoko now become the creative collaborator John’s excited about. And can you imagine how painful that must be for Paul? How utterly, utterly painful. He’s just watching it. And he’s okay, he deals with it. He loves the Beatles, he loves John, he wants to go on with it. But boy, what a pa— and you feel it. And I never— that never even occurred to me before. You know, it’s all about John and Paul hating each other and not talking to each other, all that negative stuff. But it’s actually— you see this kind of thing happening and it’s just— it’s wow. – Peter Jackson on John & Paul.

This sexy thing right here is a recording of a rehearsal made by Paul and John at Paul’s house in 1960. (That’s why its really shitty quality and I’m missing a lot of words :/)

Paul - P, John - J

P- Well oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh god Johnny boy

How are we gonna tell him

Why don’t we go somewhere where he don’t own me

Where can i go?

Oh Johnny boy you wore me out.

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny, oh Johnny boy

Oh Johnny, you got me, you be my boy

Well, a long time ago, I called you Johnny boy.

J- Hey little boy, I’m packing my shoes, and I’m leaving you.

I told my Mama I’m going to see my sister

She don’t see me, I don’t know what I’m going to do.

P- A long time ago I called you Johnny boy.

I don’t know what to tell the fellas.

Please, oh please, Johnny.

J- Well I’ll tell the fellas that I do love you.

P- I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I tell my father

You love me Johnny, I love you Johnny

I’m not gonna let you go.

P- I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I tell my father

You wore me down, you wore me down.

You’re gonna leave, you’re gonna leave me

Please, oh, I’m not gonna let you go

J- Take the next bus out of town

Then you won’t let your father down.

I don’t know what good I am since I see life in front of us.

P- Well get out of town,

don’t hold me down.

I don’t care.

J- Get out of town,

I don’t know (3x)

I want to leave right now

To get out of town.

P- You know I want to do it all.

I want to go far away, far away,

I want to go far away.

J- No, no, no, no

P- Yeah, I’m going far away.

Yeah, we’re going far away.

We’re gonna leave.

J- We’re going away,

Yeah, we’re going away,

Gonna leave town right now.

And my friends, if that isn’t McLennon, i don’t know what is.

@mclennonwasreal probs knows all about it

Yes, it’s John and Paul. This song was written around 1959/1960. It’s the only audio we have of the song, it’s a recording of a rehearsal made in 1960 at Paul’s house.

Even if the recording is damaged and the sound is shitty, the lyrics are quite easy to understand. This is one of the very first mclennon song, it’s very clear that they sing their desire to escape together: Paul is afraid of what his father might think of it cause he loves John:

“I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I tell my father”

and at 2:39 John replies:

‘And I love you Paul’.

Like, it’s so clear you don’t even need to investigate much about it, no metaphors, no double-meanings, it’s all very simple and evident. And the song ends with both John and Paul singing that the only solution is to leave and go away from the town. (Admiteddly, they went to Paris.)

This song was never put in the Anthology. You might think: it’s a shitty audio, that’s why. But no, there’s another song of the same year, that has the same shitty audio (it was actually even the same recording, the same tape!) and they decided to include it: “You’ll be mine”.

“I don’t know (Johnny Johnny)” was never included, neither edited or cleaned, that’s why some people have doubted its veracity, because very few people have ever listened to it, and it’s considered rare.

It’s such a pity they didn’t try to clean it up a bit, but I think at this point we all know why.

“When John got shot, aside from the pure horror of it, the lingering thing was OK, well now John’s a martyr, a JFK…I started to get frustrated because people started to say, “He was the Beatles”. Like Yoko would appear in the press: “Paul did nothing. All he did was book the studio. Like "Fuck you, darling. All I did was book the fucking studio?”
