Did Jack Malik try to slip one of his own songs into the release?
In a recording studio scene, one of the songs prepared by Jack Malik is rejected. His agent describes the song as making her bored and indifferent, and the song is dropped.
Was it a Beatles song that was rejected, or did Malik try to slip in one of his own songs?
Best Answer
"Summer Song" isn't a Beatles song. It's credited to Richard Curtis, Adem Ilhan and Daniel Pemberton; performed, of course, by Himesh Patel.
He sings it several times through the movie, it's even in the opening credits as he busks in various locations around the town - it's the only vaguely half-decent original song he does [presumably quite intentionally on the part of the writers] and the only original composition he tries to record. [Timestamp approx 51:25 in the movie].
It is, of course, rejected.
It's described in the studio scene…
That is… it's simple without being charming.
I'm struggling to find the words.
I hated it,
but I wasn't interested in it enough to listen to it again to find out why.
