Introduction to "Sexy Sadie"

Sexy Sadie is a song by The Beatles, featured on their 1968 double album The Beatles, commonly known as the White Album. The song was written by John Lennon, and it's a critique of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, whom the Beatles met in India in early 1968. Lennon's disillusionment with the Maharishi is reflected in the song's lyrics.

Background and Writing

"Sexy Sadie" was originally titled "Maharishi" but was changed at the insistence of George Harrison. The song was written during the Beatles' stay in Rishikesh, India, where they were attending a Transcendental Meditation course. Lennon's anger towards the Maharishi for his alleged inappropriate behavior towards women inspired the lyrics.

Recording

The recording sessions for "Sexy Sadie" began on July 19, 1968, at EMI Studios in London. The Beatles worked extensively on the song, which features a distinctive piano part by Paul McCartney, a lead guitar part by George Harrison, and Lennon's vocals. Ringo Starr provided the drumming.

Musical Style and Lyrics

The song showcases the Beatles' eclectic musical style, combining elements of rock, pop, and baroque pop. The lyrics are a direct address to the Maharishi, with lines like "Sexy Sadie, what have you done? You made a fool of everyone." Lennon's biting wit and disillusionment are evident throughout the song.

Legacy

"Sexy Sadie" remains a significant track on the White Album, representing a critical moment in the Beatles' history. The song highlights the band's evolving musical style and their willingness to address personal and controversial subjects in their music.
