George Harrison - When We Was Fab single cover | |||||||||||||||
"When We Was Fab" is a song written by George Harrison about the days of Beatlemania, when The Beatles were sometimes referred to as the "Fab Four". The song appears as the sixth track on Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine and was later released as the second single from that album in January 1988. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at #25 in the UK Singles Chart, and in the United States, the song peaked at #23 in Billboard magazine's Hot 100 singles chart.
The music video that accompanied the song also featured the other three former Beatles. Ringo Starr appears prominently first as Harrison's assistent and then as the drummer. A man dressed up in a Walrus costume playing a left-handed bass guitar refers to Paul McCartney (who was asked to appear as well but wasn't available.) John Lennon, dead by then, is represented by some passer-by carrying his Imagine album. Also making guest appearances in the video are Gary Wright, Elton John, Derek Taylor, Jeff Lynne and Neil Aspinall. The cover, seen in the infobox to the right, incorporates Klaus Voormann's 1966 line drawing of Harrison, which was used in the album art for The Beatles' Revolver (the letters ER from the title are visible), along with a similar, updated drawing of Harrison 22 years later. | |||||||||||||||
