Los Paranoias
From BeatlesWiki
Los Paranoias is a song that was improvised by The Beatles during the I Will session on September 16, 1968. On Anthology 3, the writing credit was listed as Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey, although this is not accurate, as George was not present at the session that this was improvised. A more accurate credit would be Lennon/McCartney/Starkey.

Recording
The song was improvised on September 16, 1968 right after they ran through Step Inside Love. A combination of these two song was released on Anthology 3. Paul starts the song by introducing the group "Joe Prairies and The Prairie Wallflowers." John then said "Los Paranoias," a reference to Trio Los Paraguyas, who appeared on BBC TV shows in the 1950's and 1960's, leading into this jam. Although the jam lasted 3:48, an edited version of less than a minute was included on Anthology 3.
