I’ve always found the intro the only decent part of the whole song, interesting that you see it the other way round.

I don’t have time to do all of them but I’ll just make a start on their first five albums:

 

Please Please Me : I Saw Her Standing There /Baby It’s You

With the Beatles: It Won’t Be Long /Little Child

A Hard Day’s Night : A Hard Day’s Night /You can’t do that

Beatles For Sale : Eight Days A Week /Kansas City

Help : The Night before/Dizzy Miss Lizzy (this one’s definitely in my top 5 of least favourite Beatles songs)

I wouldn’t say it’s the best, of course, but not the worst either.

Yip. Its ghastly, i hate hearing it – the only Beatles track I struggle to get thru and want it off as soon as it comes on. I cannot underestimate just how crap I think it is.

Quite brilliantly incredibly Paul almost matched this feat with another track called ‘Hold Me Tight ‘. I doubt another artist has recorded two different songs with the same title and both are atrociously shit. So well done Paul.

Same. As much as I hate to hate any Beatles’ song (I can put up with nearly all of them, even if I don’t like them), I usually end up skipping Hold Me Tight — and this is coming from one of those scrupulous anti-skippers. a-hard-days-night-ringo-13
