His Name is Legs (Ladies and Gentleman) by George Harrison – ****

First released: 1975

Another highlight of the "Extra Texture" album. “Legs” Larry Smith was/is best-known as the drummer for The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, who also appeared in The Beatles’ "Magical Mystery Tour" film. Strangely, Smith does not play drums on this track, but instead provides two or three distinctly different rap vocals that take repeated listens to make out what he’s actually saying. George duly sings throughout to great effect.
