     "Blindman" was written by Ringo himself and was the B-side to his 1972 single, "Back off Boogaloo."  Eric Clapton wrote many new instrumentals for the soundtrack of Lethal Weapon 2, and "Cheer Down" is yet another example of the lengthy collaboration of Eric and George.  "I Don't Wanna Do It" is a Bob Dylan song that George recorded several times over the years, but never did anything with it until deciding to contribute it to this Porky's movie.  Paul wrote "Did We Meet Somewhere Before" for the film Heaven Can Wait starring Warren Beatty, but the director chose not to use it, so Paul donated it to the Ramones's Rock 'n' Roll High School.  Paul's "Vanilla Sky" lost the Best New Song Oscar to Randy Newman, who won his first Oscar for "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters, Inc.
