"Honey Pie" is a song composed by Paul McCartney, which was released on The Beatles' 1968 album, "The Beatles" (also known as "The White Album"). The song was recorded on October 1, 1968, at Abbey Road Studios in London, England. It was produced by George Martin and engineered by Ken Scott. The song is a tribute to the music of the 1920s, with its upbeat, jazzy melody and lyrics that evoke the glamour and romance of that era. The song features McCartney on lead vocals, as well as piano, bass, and acoustic guitar. John Lennon and George Harrison provide backing vocals, while Ringo Starr plays drums and percussion. "Honey Pie" is divided into three distinct movements. The first movement features a lively, upbeat melody with a swinging rhythm, reminiscent of the music of the 1920s. The lyrics describe a woman named Honey Pie, who is a performer in a vaudeville show. McCartney sings, "She was a working girl, North of England way / Now she's hit the big time in the USA / And if she could only hear me, this is what I'd say." The second movement of the song features a slower, more romantic melody, with McCartney singing, "I love you, Honey Pie / You know that I love you / I'll always be true / So please, love me do." The lyrics suggest that the narrator is in love with Honey Pie, and that their relationship is the real reason for his admiration of her talent. The third movement of the song returns to the upbeat, jazzy melody of the first movement, with McCartney singing, "Oh, Honey Pie, my position is tragic / Come and show me the magic / Of your Hollywood song." The lyrics suggest that the narrator is infatuated with Honey Pie, and that he sees her as a symbol of the glamour and excitement of Hollywood. Overall, "Honey Pie" is a charming and nostalgic tribute to the music of the 1920s, with its catchy melody, swinging rhythm, and romantic lyrics. The song showcases McCartney's talent as a songwriter and performer, and remains a beloved classic in The Beatles' catalog.
