  • ""Polythene Pam" a song written by John Lennon (although credited to Lennon-McCartney) and performed by The Beatles on their penultimate album, Abbey Road. He would describe this song (along with Mean Mr. Mustard) in the Beatles Anthology as "a bit of crap I wrote in India". Structured as a limerick, the song is superficially about "a mythical Liverpool scrubber dressed up in her jackboots and kilt", the kind of girl who "makes the News of the World", but in actuality was inspired by an evening that John spent with poet Royston Ellis and his girlfriend, Stephanie. The three wore polythene (a common British contraction of the word and the IUPAC version of the word polyethylene) bags and slept in the same bed out of curiosity about kinky sex.
