The Beatles aren't really capable of composing a modal solo over changes like that though, so that option is pretty much off the table for them.

Look, if you're ok with your music literally not going anywhere or saying anything either harmonically or melodically, then you'll have no problem with the song. If those are things you look for in music then Tomorrow Never Knows will bother you.

Edit: Lol, it censors Herbie Hancock? That's kind of ridiculous.
