   I just played it to refresh my memory and I don't remember when I last heard   
   it. To me it is a   
   throwaway filler track I barely even remember ever hearing before. Nothing   
   against   
   George, "Savoy Truffle" is my favorite track on the album. But "Long, Long,   
   Long"   
   is utter shite.
