Macca originally wanted to have “Junk” on the White Album but the other members didn’t want it. So he wound up putting it on his first solo album. IMHO, it’s one of the best melodies he ever came up with.

It's not too bad. The Beatles were the masters of melody. They came up with songs that had witty lyrics as well, but overall they were so popular because their melodies were so much better than most other musicians.

And they had so many of them. Some musicians are revered because they had maybe five hits or so in their careers. The Beatles must have had over 50 songs on the charts and numerous top ten hits. They had quality AND quantity.
