The title of the Beatles’ “Getting Better” began as an inside joke from their 1964 tour. When Ringo Starr became ill, temporary drummer Jimmie Nicol stepped in and repeatedly told the others that things were "getting better."
Years later, Paul McCartney remembered the phrase while walking through Primrose Hill and turned it into a song. John Lennon then supplied the perfect cynical response: it could not get much worse.
