Savoy Truffle (2:54)
549,717 plays (164,710 listeners)
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.

"This song sticks in your head for days... it's like a tooth ache" - that such a damn good description of this song. Just the whole groove from the distorted keys and horns to Ringo's loose drum fills...it all just gets me.

This is Harrison at his best here. It's just a bit better than Love You To.
