I don't really know, it sounds like a bad pun, and as we all know, Lennon never descended to slagging people off in his songs, did he?
If anyone has seen any footage of Marianne Faithfull singing, from back in the Sixties, they'll know that:gncxx said:One on the radio tonight: The Beatles song "And Your Bird Can Sing" is actually John Lennon criticising Mick Jagger for getting too big for his boots, the "bird" being a reference to Marianne Faithfull who was recording his music at the time.

The alleged Mars Bar incident is alleged to have taken place in 1967 and the Curly Wurly wasn't launched until 1970!

And, according to Snopes.Com the Mars Bar myth is false!

After Jim Morrison's death, the remaining Doors were considering bringing in another singer (Van Morrison was another one they thought about, apparently). Iggy turned up for his audition clad only in a pair of stinking leather trousers which he evidently hadn't removed for weeks, was crawling with lice, and freaked out the Doors by insisting that they refer to him as "Jim" (his real name, but they weren't to know that.) No wonder they never got round to a new singer until a few years ago!
I've seen it reported that you were considered as a replacement for Jim Morrison in the Doors, right after he died.
The fact of the matter is, it's true really, in the sense that I was...the day after Jim Morrison was dead, I got a call from the manager of Elektra in Europe, at the time a guy called Clive Selwood. [He] asked me, would I come around to the office in London, which was not so far because I was living in London anyway, and talk about this...it was an idea. I have to say I didn't show too much enthusiasm, and nothing more was heard about it. Maybe I should have shown more enthusiasm, maybe I would have got the job, I don't know. But certainly the fact that the early Siren things came out on Elektra [the Doors' label] was a connection. All I know is that nothing more was heard of it after not showing a great deal of interest. Probably [they] thought I was an ungrateful swine or something. But I really didn't fancy it anyway.

gncxx said:Talking of the Rolling Stones, during the murder at Altamont they were, urban legend has it, playing "Sympathy for the Devil" and it was Satan himself who brought about the tragedy that made Mick Jagger swear off any further dealings with Beelzebub. But I think they were playing "Under My Thumb" at the time of the killing and the mess had more to do with bad crowd control?
