Can you imagine what you would have to pay for the rights to these songs today? The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Carrol King and Jefferson Airplane are all on the soundtrack.

The Beatles masters alone would probably take up most original budget of this film. Hal Ashby has two films with Beatles tracks, which is pretty unusual since they so rarely licensed their master recordings all through the 70s-early 21st century.

Most famous uses of Beatles songs in films are covers or soundalikes -- Royal Tenenbaums, Helter Skelter (tv movie), Wonder Years (tv).

And a Paul Simon original song - reworking of another song! (a wistful, haunting melody, during the pool house scene, with the unfortunate refrigerator door!)
