In The Beatles Anthology,
drummer Ringo Starr asserted that the original opening verse of "With a
Little Help From My Friends" (which Paul McCartney wrote with John
Lennon, but Starr sang) was "What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and throw tomatoes at me?" Starr changed the second
line to "Would you stand up and walk out on me?" out of fear that he
would, in fact, sing out of tune, and the audience would take aim at him
with rotten tomatoes.
