    What song did John Lennon sing lying down because he was so high on drugs that he couldn't stand?

    Question #24014. Asked by Paul. (Nov 06 02 8:48 PM)

    Is it true that John Lennon recorded the song "Revolution" on his back to try and get that particular sound?

    Yes, it's true. There's a picture of John recording his vocal while lying on the studio floor in Peter Brown's The Love You Make, although (in my early version of the book, at least) Brown misidentifies the photo as John recording Abbey Road and misattributes the prone posture to John's being "stoned."

    And to further back it up it's mentioned in Lewisohn's The Beatles' Recording Sessions (a must for every Beatles aficionado).
