--SoG, perhaps you never heard of a little song called "The Ballad of John and Yoko". THAT'S the worst Beatles song, with the possible exception of "Honey Don't."

@c_b: You ARE kidding, aren't you?
@arcadia: "The Ballad of John and Yoko" is pretty bad. I don't think I've had the pleasure of hearing "Honey Don't."
Should I seek it out?

Or something to that effect.

"Happy ever after in the marketplace..." *humming happily*
I thought "Honey Don't" was a Carl Perkins song. And THAT song is great.

It was a Carl Perkin's song that the Beatles covered on one of their early albums. Ringo did the vocals...

--skipvia, As a die-hard Beatles fan (even been to Liverpool to kiss the ground they first trod) I hold any song celebrating the John/Yoko union as anathema, for obvious reasons.
-- SoGro-- Honey Don't is sung by my fave Beatle, Ringo, on the "Beatles For Sale" album. The song exposes Ringo's Country-Western music propensity, which I would rather remain in denial about.
