"My idea in "My Sweet Lord," because it sounded like a "pop song," was to sneak up on them a bit.' The point was to have the people not offended by "Hallelujah", and by the time it gets to "Hare Krishna," they're already hooked, and their foot's tapping, and they're already singing along "Hallelujah,".... And then suddenly it turns into "Hare Krishna," and they will all be singing that before they know what's happened, and they will think, "Hey, I thought I wasn't supposed to like Hare Krishna!""
Hallelujah
