Paul McCartney's first reaction to waking up with the tune to "Scrambled 
Eggs" in his head was to think that he'd heard it somewhere. Evidently 
he hadn't unconsciously ripped the whole thing off of someone, since he 
didn't get sued by Morris Levy over it, but it does seem unlikely that 
the whole tune just invented itself out of nothing. Has anyone come 
across any speculation on what musical influences there might be for the 
most famous (or at least most covered) pop tune of all time?
