Overplayed so much for so long I had to just avoid most Beatles songs for many years. Now, with better quality source and playback gear, and more understanding of what I appreciate in music, I can once again enjoy the great skill in writing, performing, and producing these albums represent. Taking nothing away from the boys I think that the contributions of producer George Martin have a lot to do with elevating them to another level. Yes, even on a simple little pop song like this one.

Who would have thought - these guys, with this track would give us Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road and dozens of other great tracks to enjoy forever!

Catchy tune, melodic bass line, splashy drums/cymbals, great vocals and harmony, sing along lyrics,  upbeat and fun, brilliant 1960's Rickenbacker sound. 

What's not to like?

Somewhere in de '70s we went on holidays to France by car. My father just had installed a radioplayer with a cassetteplayer, which was a novelty at the time. My elder brothers recorded tapes to take on vacation but they forgot to take them with them so the only tape we had during the holidays was the one in the cassetteplayer in the car: for about 3 weeks we repeatedly heard the songs from that tape (twice 30 or 45 minutes, I think) being The Beatles. Therefor many Beatlessongs remind me of that vacation and for a long time I believed The Beatles were French...

Apart from being an even closer imitation than The  Jam were?

It wasn't on that album but who cares, it's still The Beatles

Catchy bubblegum pop. This band missed their calling back in the day when that was popular.

I think their songwriting improved somewhat compared with this?

Agreed.  And I ain't got nothin' but love, babe, doesn't quite gel when it comes from the land of Bill Shakespeare.  And that hand clap rhythm was wearing out its welcome, even from the Fabs.  Still, it's f-u-n.

Dunno about that, I think the Sitar at least ties em together., lol.

I remember Liam claimed to be John Lennon reincarnated,  even though he was 8 when John was murdered.

I am amazed that after 50 years this still sounds fresh
this is a great album too Harrison plays some great rock-a-billy to Lennon's songs

Fun memories of listening. But it's not one of my fav Fab 4 tunes. Simple beat — but that bass is a fine thing — and they sure mangle "ain't got nothin' but love, girl" English

We could go further and use the PSD every time we hear a song influenced by the Beatles.

But then you'd basically be listening to FOXNews.

Nope. One play in 30 days is severely under-played.

Maybe not one of their very stellar best. Ain't got nothin' is not exactly Shakespeare. And that hand clap track. Hold me love me. Well, OK, if you're 18.  Still, that bass line. Lennon singing like he means it. The harmonics and rhythm. And sing along perfection. I'm going along, 8 times a week.
