'This Song' was the first single to be released from George's 1976 album Thirty Three & 1/3, and it peaked at No.25 in the US singles charts. It was written as a response to a recent court case where George had been sued over the supposed similarity of his song 'My Sweet Lord' to The Chiffon's hit 'She's So Fine', where George had been forced to sit and listen to incredibly detailed break downs of both songs to the point that he "started to believe that maybe they did own those notes". The song features Billy Preston on piano and organ, and Python Eric Idle calling out "Could be ‘Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch,” “No, sounds more like ‘Rescue Me’!”

This video was originally shown on the 20 November 1976 episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Paul Simon in which George was a special musical guest. See if you can spot various famous (Small) faces making cameo appearances including Ronnie Wood, drummer Jim Keltner and saxophonist Tom Scott.

Anyone know who the other person in drag is? One of them (the blonde) is unmistakeably Ronnie Wood, but still trying to figure out who the hell the other one is after all these years.

Great video, really hilarious! This song is pretty amazing and the "Thirty Three & 1/3" album is one of my favorites. Great vocals and upbeat melodies, with a wonderful keyboard and sax work. No to mention the George's guitar. Simply beautiful.

Dare i say, 'the genius of George' at the time i thought this a brilliantly 'apt' comeback to a dreadful piece of opportunism. A bunch of absolute unknowns trying to make a few bucks out of an artist of Georges calibre, but of course there is always some one like that around. Anyway what better way to cap the whole side show off than with a VERY clever song like this folks. The unknowns long forgotten but George lives in the musical hall of fame forever.
