George Harrison's elaborate prank on Phil Collins may be the funniest joke in rock history.

Harrison had an entire recording session with a conga player who he asked to play poorly, just to pull one over on Collins .

The 18-year-old was starstruck playing on a session with two former Beatles , so he played extra hard in rehearsals, resulting in blood blisters on both hands.
