"Norwegian Wood" is one of The Beatles' best songs. There is a lot of theories about who or what it is about. I asked producer/fifth-Beatle Georg Martin. - Give us the story, please. What is the text about, and why is it called "Norwegian Wood"?

- My wife is going to give me a hard time for saying this. It was one of John's indiscretions. I remember we were sitting at the veranda outside our hotel rooms in St. Moritz and John was playing at his guitar and working out the text: I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me. He felt that Cynthia had tricked him to marry her. "Norwegian Wood" was a play on the words "knowing she would".
