"Glass Onion" at closing credits?


Was this the Beatles's original? I'm not sure I've ever seen a film that used a Beatles tune actually performed by them. I've always understood the cost was too high for rights, or they just weren't available. Consequently there've been some pretty good covers, but none that sounded exactly like the original. This one did. So I reckon the filmmakers did get the rights. Was it The Beatles?

Thanks for the link. I hadn't see it before. I wonder if this is a first....

Live and Let Die (1973) had the title song written by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Wings. And the music was by George Martin, the Beatles' producer.

Yes, it was The Beatles. This is why it is named Glass Onion so the song could be played. The glass structure came in later.

I thought that was a Beastie Boys song:


Glass Onion!
That bunion onion!

The Social Network used one as well. Baby You're a Rich Man.

Just off the top of my head, I can think of a few movies that uses Beatles songs.

Ferris Bueller
Social Network
JoJo Rabbitt

And I don't know which titles, but I feel like I've heard "come together" a few different times
