Talk:The Palace of the King of the Birds

article name
See here for this:

"An unreleased song by the Beatles. I did some editing but it's all them playing. The song was written by Paul McCartney, who played the organ, and was soon joined by Ringo on drums, and presumably Harrison on guitar and Lennon on Fender VI bass; it has a peculiar 'Grateful Dead-esque' feeling. Being a jam they didn't care about mistakes, so I cut most of them (the original recording goes for longer than 14 minutes). Edit: I just realised that on Wikipedia, somebody published a page of this as a song, with duration and all. It makes me smile, as the duration (and title) was made up by me for this video, just for fun. The original was over 15 minutes long, this is an edit I made on Garage band. The title of the original track was The Castle of The King of Bird, but to be honest it could be a retcon from later, when Paul was writing music for Rupert the bear. It really teaches you to take any information from Wikipedia with a pinch of salt. Or a handful."

 * I was just coming here to mention that. I have removed the mention of the length. (It generally annoys me to see articles stating that a song is a certain length anyway - songs don't have fixed lengths.) But the title has been used on several other youtube uploads as well as http://www.beatlesbible.com/1969/01/09/get-back-let-it-be-sessions-day-six/ - though http://bootlegpedia.com/en/song/Castle_Of_The_King_Of_The_Birds uses Castle. I have amended to read "name given to ..." but wonder if this should be moved to the Castle version as that seems more authentic. -- Beardo (talk) 02:35, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
