It was written by Barrett in conjunction with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller (the team responsible for all the great Coasters' songs and many of Elvis' early hits). (Was Barrett the same Richard Barrett who wrote all the great Chantels' stuff? Does anyone know?) Anyway, an incomplete Beatles performance of the song was broadcast on "Beatles at the Beeb" (Memorial Day, 1982). A complete version is available on the bootleg "Beautiful Dreamer". PS: The Rutles special, "All You Need Is Cash" is now available on videocassette.
