Even legends like The Beatles have a less-than-legendary moment: Collider just ranked “Dig It” as their worst song—yet some fans still adore its jam-filled, Rolling Stones-inspired rawness.
In the pantheon of rock history, The Beatles reign supreme. Yet even titans stumble—and according to Collider, their 12th and final studio album, Let It Be, delivered their worst track: a 50-second free-form jam dubbed “Dig It.”
The track emerged in 1969 during a mammoth session at Twickenham Studios. Breaking past the polished precision of classics like “Hey Jude,” “Dig It” is an instrumental whirlwind sprinkled with mock cockney: “That was ‘Can You Dig It’ by Geordie!
While critics scoff, others call it pure creative urgency. What makes “Dig It” the so-called worst yet so wonkily loved?
The Works-That-Are-Trainwreck Reputation
“Dig It” grew from a 15-minute rehearsal jam that finally hit vinyl as a fleeting 50–second scrap. Sample lyrics? “Like the FBI / CIA / B.B.C. / B.B.C. / B.B.C.” Strangely soft vocals? “Can you dig it?” punctuated by trashed drums. It’s Beatles stripped of melodies, pristine harmonies, or even intelligible themes.
By 1970, The Beatles Bible noted it was recorded at the same sessions that birthed “Let It Be,” hankering for permanence. Fans, though, didn’t necessarily agree—red-faced comments on YouTube today mock Mick Jagger-esque crooning and label it a jarring interruption in Beatledom.
Logic Behind the Rank
Collider’s list, argued daily on uDiscover Music, crams “Dig It” atop the cobweb pile. In tandem come jokes:
- Rank 2: “Wild Honey Pie” – Beatles is repetitive and experimental
- Rank 3: “Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?” – Lennon’s brief garage blast
- Rank 9: “Savoy Truffle” – a gentle cake themed dirge
Yet “Dig It” remains sui generis—a soundtrack snippet imitating Jagger, Knighted Jagger, say some, courtesy of Lennon’s intentional bet.
Razor边Rennet Naissance
The scholarly riff is clear: “Dig It” drew on chaos theory. The Beatles, stripped of Ringo collusion, raging against the machine through rhythm, resonance, reverb and mismatch. The immediate mimicry of Jagger is intentional, audacious even.
John Lennon envisioned a chaotic cut-and-paste rhythm-aesthetic somewhere between punk and lounge. Intentional randomization equipped studio kindness.
In sentiment, one YouTube fan of Beatles ambushed Dig It trumped as “brilliant, organic—the Beatles racing against time whilst history distracted.”

The Stark Irony
In stark irony: “Dig It” exists by intent. A pampered plum not apples.
Feverish rehearsals taped over, mixed, hammered by Tangerine Technology last month orchestrated around Writers Studio psyche. The embryonic slice was deemed too experimental for release by producers until forced by groundbreaking constraints for completion.
Thankfully, the combination of Lennon’s unique ferment, from tonsillar phlegm to the raw tapestry smoking, crystallized uniqueness. Whoever retailors “Dig It” today nicknamed Black Sheep. It rudimentally made The Beatles Summer of Sentence

Summary & Future Prospects
“Dig It” speaks two chats: one to critics, pointedly nodding ‘worst song’, the other to devotees who hear magic squeezed from care. Which lens prevails?
