Beautiful Boys

  • ... that Yoko Ono's song "Beautiful Boys" incorporates sound effects from the first Star Wars film? Sharp: "Jack had the idea that we'd use the sound effects from a Star Wars battle scene going through the bridge of the song...So we had a video machine and transferred the Star Wars audio onto tape...When we finally had it working and we played it for Yoko she didn't like it...We did use the battle sounds very low in the mix but without gating them to the toms."

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new, long, sourced, no copyvio. The hook is interesting but isn't properly cited. The name/author etc of the source is needed, not just the quote. qpq has been done so once the source is complete this'll be ready. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:16, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

The source of the hook is Ken Sharp's book Starting Over: The Making of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Double Fantasy and the quote on which the hook is based is attributed to Jon Smith, who was a recording engineer for the Double Fantasy album. There is an inline citation for the hook information in the article. Rlendog (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks @Rlendog:! I didn't want to assume which source the quote came from. This looks good to go now! BuySomeApples (talk) 22:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
