To add to that, numerous experimental ideas were thrown in (for example not even singing the first quater of the first bridge such that it was only implied, which always felt weirdly disorientating), the use of clarinet, and the general comedy of the bells. On the contrary, it sounds manifestly like a
later Paul number rather than something that came earlier. And is one of the cleverest later songs he did.
