| Song |
"Think for Yourself" is a song by British rock band The Beatles which first appeared on their 1965 album Rubber Soul. Written and sung by George Harrison, it is a warning against listening to lies.[1] In his book I Me Mine he writes, "But all this time later, I don't quite recall who inspired that tune. Probably the government."[1] In a departure from all precedent at the time, the song has two bass lines, a normal one and one created by Paul McCartney's then-unique application of a fuzzbox to his bass.[2]
The song is in the key of G major.
