Source: "The song that stuck in my head from “Let It Be” was “Dig a Pony.” On the song’s opener, John Lennon sings 'I, hi-hi, hi-hi, I dig a pony.' I loved how he took that one word—'I'—and turned it into a snaking melody." WSJ.
ALT2: ... that Martin Kemp is shown playing bass in the video for Spandau Ballet's "True" despite producer Tony Swain having played synth-bass on the song? Source: "When we got around to 'True,' we decided that instead of Martin playing the electric bass, Tony [Swain] would play the synth-bass keyboard. Martin didn’t mind."
