Although the song is
credited to Lennon and McCartney, Paul McCartney was the main composer of this
song and has since admitted it is about marijuana and not a girl as was
often thought.It was recorded
at EMI Studios London some time between 7th April and 17th
June 1966, but only released as a single in the US
in 1976, with "Helter Skelter" on the B-side, and achieving No. 7
in the charts.Hit cover
versions have also been recorded by Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers and
Earth, Wind and Fire.It
appears on The Beatles album Revolver.
