| This was the first time Paul McCartney wrote the words to a song before the music. |
| This was the first song The Beatles played this on their first Ed Sullivan Show appearance - Feb 9, 1964. It was a historic telecast, as over 73 million people tuned in. At the time, that was the largest audience ever for a TV show. |
| McCartney sang lead on this. His vocal was double-tracked to bring it out in the mix. |
| George Harrison's guitar solo was influenced by Chet Atkins, one of his idols when he was learning to play. |
| John Lennon was always fond of the grinding rhythm guitar he contributed to the studio recording. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE) |
