Like the 'Frog Song', this is a great song for kids. Like the 'Frog Song',
it should never have been released as a single. MHALL was released in the
year I was born, so I wasn't around to witness critical reaction to it, but
I'd hazard a guess that Macca's alienated a lot of his Beatle fans around
this time. I can listen to the song for what it is and enjoy it for what it
is but it tends to grate badly on non-fans and the over 5s.
