NOTES:
1.  “The song was written by Lennon and McCartney, who evidently didn't rate it that highly.  
“…It was a throwaway. The only two versions of the song were Ringo and the Rolling Stones. 
That shows how much importance we put on it: We weren't going to give them anything great, right?…” 
- John Lennon, 1980, All We Are Saying, David Sheff.
2.  ”…John Lennon recalled completing it with McCartney in front of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, 
who were impressed enough to begin songwriting themselves shortly afterwards….”

3.  Despite the Beatles low opinion of this song, it was one of the most imitated by the teenage 
bands of my generation (i.e. we and every other band I knew, had it in their playlist).
