The guitars are played by Harrison and Lennon, according to Lewishon. If there is any source that credits McCartney, then needed to be cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.40.0.34 (talk) 18:36, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, let's assume Paul played bass guitar. JohnD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.194.122.14 (talk) 01:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Why is this hard rock, more like soft rock if you want to correctly classify something(Monkeymanman (talk) 22:03, 5 October 2009 (UTC))
No one knows why they were laughing in the song. Was it cause in the Anthology song, John was smacking his lips? and making funny noises? Put that in the article it anyone think that's it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moptopstyle1 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
The reason for laughing was an inside joke, when they got high on pot one time paul was obsessing to trying to find a pen to write something down what he thought was the meaning of life because he just discovered it. When they sobered up, they read it and it said "there are 7 levels" and relized it meant nothing and it became a joke... "You tell me you've seen seven wonders"... Paul starts to laugh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.28.185 (talk) 03:59, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
I added a short comment about how Elvis Costello appreciates this song. I think it has some importance and interest, as he is a major artist and Beatles lover. If anyone thinks otherwise, please explain why. Barak Pick —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.67.22.200 (talk) 19:58, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
I can't recall which book I read that from, but it's been suggested that the inspiration came from Cynthia who bought a cuckoo clock to John who found the gift unbearable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.56.95.59 (talk) 03:59, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
The Sound & Vision quote being cited for "hard rock" as a genre is being used out of context: "Go forward to 1968 and The Beatles (a.k.a. The White Album) and you get a veritable hard-rock clinic on what used to be, in the days of vinyl". Did someone just Google "hard rock" and the song title in the same sentence, find this book source, and use it to support their own conclusion? Dan56 (talk) 19:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
The term "psychedelic music" is used as an umbrella term which covers an array of genres, and alone doesn't define a particular style or song. However, psychedelic rock is more to the point and in line with various contemporary acts such as the Byrds and in particular their song "Eight Miles High" which is often cited as the vanguard of psychedelia.

It's good the said genre was changed. The only thing heavy about the song was the guitar and a song usually needs more than that to rightfully be classified as hard rock. C.Syde (talk | contribs) 09:25, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
There's a sensational cover by The Charles River Boys on their all Beatles "Beatles Country" album. They make it sound like a Bill Monroe song.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.39.18.72 (talk) 19:43, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Got curious about the Whittaker photo (paragraph just added). Looks like there's a McCartney version as well. Is that mentioned in the source? --John (User:Jwy/talk) 17:18, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
