Weightwatchers
UK
fought
a
long
courtroom
battle
with The
Beatles
prior
to the
release
of their
final
Album
"
Abbey
Road
"
back
in
1970
.
Weightwatchers
wanted
to
ensure
the
lyrics
"you'
re
gonna
carry
that
weight
for a
long
time
" were
edited
out as it would
subliminally
convince
their
members
that they would be
fat
forever
. The
beatles
won
the
case
and
set
about
writing
the
satirical
track
"I
want
you (she'
s
so
heavy
)" as a
form
of
revenge
.
