Interesting to compare Nilsson's "Vine Street" to Van Dyke Parks' version starting off "Song Cycle"...
Or Harpers Bizarre's version.

This came on and I was like “how did I not know that Lennon covered this?”
Because he didn't? Lennon used the same string arrangement for "#9 Dream."
Nilsson's version is a cover tho ... of a Jimmy Cliff song.

Lennon freely admitted he copped it too.
