If those what you said count, "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey' counts as well.

Why would that count? Does John sing "except FOR" every time?

Linde said Always thought it was supposed to be ''Love to you'' like most people thought. At the beginning I used to misread it as ''love to you'' too. It's not that bad though. It's working-title was ''Granny Smith''. Imagine if it had stayed that way. Hmm Laxton's Superb..Granny Smith..George sure liked apples!                       

Yet it was an Apple that caused him a lot of headaches.

It's never bothered me the title or made me think why. A rose called by any other name...

"[I'd] love you to."

Anyway, I agree with Von; it's "a cryptic George-type title".  I mean, I guess it's possible that the words were switched around. But I still think it seems George-ish. I suppose that, even if the words were switched around, he liked it that way. Or something like that.

(Don't know myself how come I didn't reply to the thread originally in August of '11; presumably I was on vacation that week.) For much of the time, I just assumed it was a cryptic George-type title - "Love You To...something" - it took me a long time to make the "(I'll make) love to you" leap and suspect that the arrangement of the words was messed up somehow.

Sure wish that George had had ...]]> Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:06:37 +0100 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/love-you-to-1/#p41949 The songs http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/the-songs/love-you-to-1/#p41949 The beginning always sounds like hesitation to me what with all the stop start bits, kind of like working up the guts to go for it. Thankfully someone does and its off with no one having a dickiebird hope of stopping it.  It was kind of new to the western world at the time, Indian Music in popular music.

Have heard that Paul really doesnt like this song.

Listening again and again to Paul's terrific rendition of Larry Williams' "She Said Yeah" on Run Devil Run, a track they used to play in Hamburg in the early days, I was suddenly struck by the last line of the chorus... he he... Just play it again to yourselves, brothers !

I'm pretty sure there is no better explanation than this little disguised tribute to Mr. Williams.
