Yakety Yak (studio jam)

~ Recording by John & Yoko with Plastic Ono Band & Elephants Memory and Special Guests

Annotation

Despite the recording title, this is a partial recording of Big Joe Turner's classic blues "Honey Hush". Lennon sings lyrics "Come in this house, stop all that yackety yack, I said come in this house, stop all that yackety yack .... don't want no talkin' back" and later the out chorus "Hi-yo, hi-yo Silver". See lyrics here.
