Ob-la-di Ob-la-da means Life Goes On in the Yoruba language. Paul heard this expression from Nigerian jazzman Jimmy Scott, who played conga with Georgie Fame and who frequented the Bag O'Nails club, the same club where Paul first met Linda Eastman. Jimmy played conga on an earlier take saved up for Anthology 3, shares in the royalties and joined Bad Manners.
