The Beatles with Beach Boy (Mike Love)! [Rare&Remaster, 2020]

- Spiritual Regeneration 00:00
- Happy Birthday to Mike Love 01:56

The Beatles flew out to India in mid-February 1968 to study Transcendental Meditation in Rishikesh along with Donovan, Mia Farrow, Mike Love (The Beach Boys) and others.
On March 15th, Beach Boy Mike Love turned 27.
To mark the occation, The Beatles, Donovan and others whipped up a song and performed it in a Chuck Berry fashion on acoustic guitars with Beach Boys-styled harmonies.
The lyrics pay tribute to Guru Dev (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi), the Maharishi's teacher and founder of Transcendental Meditation [Spiritual Regeneration Movement Foundation of India] who was also mentioned in "Across The Universe" (the same guru was strongly criticized in "Sexy Sadie" in the same year).
Here the reference is a bit more tongue-in-cheek, a la "All Together Now": "A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-Jai Guru Dev."
After a brief guitar solo, the improvisation continues with the traditional birthday song, transposed over the same shuffling rhythm.
It is believed that this fun-jam has been the basis for developed to "Back in the U.S.S.R."
