Ringo Starr (in 1966) - "I contributed about five words to "What Goes On.' (laughs) And I haven't done a thing since!"
John Lennon (in 1972) - "A very early song of mine. Ringo and Paul wrote a new middle-eight together when we recorded it."
John Lennon (in 1980) - "That was an early Lennon, written before the Beatles when we were the Quarrymen or something like that. And resurrected with a middle-eight thrown in, probably with Paul's help, to give Ringo a song... and also to use the bits, because I never liked to waste anything."
