"Mother Nature's Son" is a Lennon/McCartney song, released by The Beatles on the White Album. It was written by McCartney, while the band was in India.
The lecture by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi that inspired this song also inspired John Lennon's unreleased song "Child of Nature," the tune of which he later re-used to completely different effect in "Jealous Guy."
The song was covered by Harry Nilsson in 1969, then later by John Denver. After his death it became the title of a biography of Denver by John Collis. It was also covered by Sheryl Crow for the movie I Am Sam. Danger Mouse included a sample of the song in his mashup version of the Jay-Z song "December 4".
On the You Am I album Hi Fi Way, a track featured was entitled 'Ken (The Mother Nature's Son)', however this was not a cover of the Beatles song, it simply had a similar title.
