In Many Years From Now Paul said the following when talking about Wild Honey Pie : ‘Wild Honey Pie ‘, which was a reference to the other song I had written called ‘Honey Pie

I could imagine that Paul didn’t think too much about the name he should give this little experimental song because he initially didn’t even plan to put it on the album and therefore, kind of as a working title, he just named it after another song he had previously written also all by himself (which would be Honey Pie obviously) and since this version was ‘wilder’ he named it ‘Wild Honey Pie ‘. I don’t think that he thought about a musical connection.  

I remember that quote now. It has been years since I have read Many Years From Now. I might have to give it another read as I did enjoy it. 

And in the end the lunch you take is equal to the lunch you bake.

greatest song of all time, and naturally the best ever work by the Beatles.

That must have been some funky-tasting P***y.

In all seriousness, it is still better than Honey Pie .

I like the chords:

G7 — F7 — E7 — Eb7 — D7

and at the end, G7 to F7 alternating, ending on G7

(you must play the the barre forms or it will not sound right)"

I like the way Paul plucks the strings of the acoustic guitar doing what he described:

“…built it up sculpturally with a lot of vibrato on the strings, really pulling the strings madly.”

Now today I find, you have changed your mind

Perhaps he was thinking about the Beach Boys album (or song) ‘Wild Honey’?  Maybe he was looking for some way to reference his other song, and the adjective “wild” came up to go with “honey” because of the Beach Boys ?

Paul himself said:

“I just made up this short piece and I multitracked a harmony to that, and a harmony to that, and a harmony to that, and built it up sculpturally with a lot of vibrato on the strings, really pulling the strings madly. Hence, ‘Wild Honey Pie ’, which was a reference to the other song I had written called ‘Honey Pie’.”
