Saturday Music Post - Norwegian Wood

"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" was released by The Beatles on the 1965 album Rubber Soul. The album itself was transitional, signaling the Beatles move away from simpler rock songs. "Norwegian Wood" was the first time that George Harrison (or anyone, I believe) played the sitar in British or American popular music. There is some dispute about the authorship. It is attributed Lennon-McCartney on the album, but John later claimed to have written it himself, with only minimum input from Paul. After Lennon's death, however, McCartney insisted that it was a fully joint composition. According to Wikipedia, the song is about one of Lennon's extramarital affairs, but who knows?
