Best Cuts
The best cuts are those that
sound like they were recorded
while Spector was out of the room
("Apple Scruffs," "If Not For
You") and those that seem like
deliberate imitations of other
people. "What is Life," for
example, which is not nearly so bad
as the title suggest, is a cross
between "Keep on Runnin" by the
Spencer Davis Group and any
number of Paul Revere and the
Raiders songs.
"My Sweet Lord," a Top 40 hit,
is musically a direct steal from the
Chiffons' great "He's So Fine," and
must have been done as a deliberate
goof. There is something genuinely
funny about substituting "hare
krishna" for "dulang dulang
dulang."
