The Beatles (19 page)

By the time ‘Come And Get It ‘ came out The Iveys were Badfinger (after John’s ‘Badfinger Boogie’). The single reached the top five and the group could no longer say they were neglected. The soundtrack to
The Magic Christian
contained three Badfinger songs and in a move to capitalize on this they titled their next album
Magic Christian Music.

Asked whether ‘Come And Get It’ was a veiled message to those squabbling over the Beatles for tune in 1968, Paul said; “It was just a straightforward pop song with all the old innuendoes. Come and get what?”
