** Similar to "All Those Years Ago", "When We Was Fab" is a more tongue-in-cheek yet wistful eulogy to his time in The Beatles. It even features Ringo on drums and backing vocals.

** Harrison's tribute song to Music/JohnLennon: "All Those Years Ago". It's sung as if from the point of view of someone giving an apology, albeit too little too late. To add, this was as close as Harrison got to reuniting with the Beatles; Music/PaulMcCartney, his then-wife Linda and Music/RingoStarr joined him for the effort, marking the first time those three former Beatles recorded together after the band broke up.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The 2021 video for "My Sweet Lord", despite being officially approved by Harrison's estate (with his son Dhani co-producing and his widow Olivia making a cameo along with Dhani) was criticized for having a surreal comedy tone with little apparent connection to the song's lyrics and for being an excuse for a bunch of gratuitous celebrity cameos. However, some fans pointed out that "surreal comedy with little apparent connection to the song's lyrics" ("Crackerbox Palace", "Blow Away", the stuffed animal version of "Got My Mind Set on You") and "gratuitous celebrity cameos" ([[Music/TheTravelingWilburys "The Wilbury Twist"]]) were both approaches George had taken for videos when he was alive.
