(John
Lennon/Paul McCartney)
This was the
final track recorded by The Beatles before they embarked on the cinematic
adventure known as Help!. The
song is a not-so-subtle warning that if the listener doesn’t start
treating his girlfriend better, the singer is going to whisk her away. After recording it, Paul added a
piano and Ringo over-dubbed bongos, giving the
song a fuller feel. In the
film, director Richard Lester exploits this by adding footage of the pair
performing the extra instruments in the studio. The session is curtailed when one of
the baddies saws a circle in the ceiling below where Ringo
is playing the drums. You can
hear the song in its entirety on the soundtrack, however.
