youtube/watch?v=nq2aaUp3h The album Walls And Bridges was recorded in July and August 1974. By that time Lennon had settled on the title #9 Dream, and had a chorus refrain - Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé - which he claimed had come to him in a dream. The words had no meaning, but summed up the ethereal atmosphere Lennon conjured up in the lyrics and production. Coincidentally, the phrase had nine syllables. The words of the chorus were changed slightly by Lori Burton, the wife of studio engineer Roy Cicala, who also sang backing vocals on the song. Al Coury, the promotion man for Capitol, said, Theyre not going to play this record. When John asked Al, Why? he was told, Because youre saying pussy on it! So, Lori changed it to Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé, kinda like French, and it worked. John listened to us. In fact, he listened to just about everything. He never used to come to the mix sessions until we called him. After all, there was no automation, so why have a breakdown over it? Just come in when youre ready and then tweak it a little bit.
