Kommentar: Lennon tried hard to make this song work, even toying
with the idea of singing its title-phrase in several different
languages (French, German, English and Japanese), but in spite
of his efforts it never came off. Its author's fondness for it
- or lack of inspiration -  showed when, three years later, he
dusted it off and wrote a new set of lyrics to it: "Mind Games".
