About This Track

George Harrison wrote the song as a tribute to his friend Eric Clapton’s chocolate addiction, and indeed he derived the title and many of the lyrics from a box of Mackintosh’s Good News chocolates. Supposedly all of the confectionery names used in the song are authentic, except cherry cream and coconut fudge.

The chorus (“But you’ll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle”) is a reference to the deterioration of one’s teeth after eating too many sweets. The line “We all know Obla-di-bla-da” refers to the song “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” which appears earlier on the album.

    Love the initial drop of the beat, too bad it only happens one more time in the song.
