His original idea was to write about a recording technician who worked on The Guess Who's recordings . This particular technician would take the 8: 15 train to get to work, inspiring the lyrics "take the 8: 15 into the city ." </P> <P> In the early arrangement for the song, which had the working title "White Collar Worker", the chorus riff and vocal melody were similar to that of The Beatles' "Paperback Writer". When Bachman first played this version for Burton Cummings, Cummings declared that he was ashamed of him and that The Guess Who would never record the song because the Beatles would sue them . </P>
