The Beatles

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. They became the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed act in the history of popular music. Their best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, they later utilised several genres, ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. In the early 1960s, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania", but as their songwriting grew in sophistication, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. more »

10 facts about this song

Album Appearance
"Dig a Pony" is a song from 'Let It Be,' the twelfth and final studio album by The Beatles.
Recording
The song was recorded on the rooftop of the Beatles' Apple Corps headquarters in London on the 30th of January, 1969, as part of their iconic rooftop concert.
Authorship
While the song is credited to the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, it was primarily composed by John Lennon.
Video Footage
The song features in the Beatles' 1970 documentary film "Let It Be," which chronicles the making of the album. The footage from the rooftop concert is considered historic.
Song Creation
In reference to creating "Dig a Pony," Lennon once described the song as "a piece of garbage" with meaningless lyrics, expressing his dissatisfaction with it. Essentially he stated it was a bunch of unrelated phrases stuck together.
Band Controversy
The tension between band members during the recording of "Let It Be" was noticeable. Band member George Harrison briefly quit during the recording sessions, which was linked to factors including a disagreement over whether to perform live again, a proposal that resulted in the rooftop concert.
Lack of Airplay
Despite being part of the band's final album, "Dig a Pony" did not receive much airplay on mainstream radio, perhaps due to Lennon's later dismissal of the song.
Song Structure
Unlike many songs by The Beatles, "Dig a Pony" follows an unusual ABAB structure, with verses, bridges, and a refrain but no clear choruses.
Different Versions
An earlier version of the song was initially named "All I Want Is You."
Never Played Live
Even though the rooftop concert performance made it to the final cut, The Beatles never actually performed "Dig a Pony" live in any of their concerts.
