To mark the passing of Allen Klein yesterday, a song that indirectly refers to him.
The opening lines--"You never give me your money/You only give me your funny papers/And in the middle of negotiations/You break down"--are drawn from Paul McCartney's real-world experiences with Klein. The "funny papers" were contracts that Klein wanted Paul to sign. Paul refused for months and eventually refused completely, after which the Beatles broke up. Klein's lawsuits with the Beatles stretched out for many years. RIP Allen Klein I guess, but not many people outside of his family will miss him.
