Savoy Truffle
About the Savoy truffle
Savoy Truffle is a song written by George Harrison and performed
by The Beatles on their eponymously-titled album (the "White
Album").
Harrison wrote the song as a tribute to his friend Eric Clapton's
chocolate addiction, and indeed he derived the title and many
of the lyrics from a box of Mackintosh Good News chocolates.
Supposedly all of the candy names used in the song are authentic
except cherry cream and coconut fudge. The chorus ("But you'll
have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle")
refers to the state of the consumer's teeth after eating the aforementioned
confection.
The line "We all know Obla-di-bla-da" refers to the
song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" which appears earlier on the
album.
