Birth of a Tune.

It's not well known the original title of The Beatles' "Let It Be" was "Moe! Larry! Cheese!" It didn't scan well:
"When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, 'Moe! Larry Cheese!'"

You can see that doesn't work. So they tried "Have Some Tea." But George liked coffee and refused to play guitar if they promoted the "leaf beverage."

It became so heated, John, Paul, and George were wrestling on the studio floor when Ringo shouted, "Blimey, you guys! Who cares! We're millionaires and it's just another song. Let it be."

And you thought writing songs was easy.
