[edit] A Hard Day's Night

Interestingly, although this article says that the song appears on A Hard Day's Night, it's not in the track listing there!

Here's what I think might have happened. She Loves You was recorded long before the album or film A Hard Day's Night, and released in the USA as one of the Beatles' first three singles, all of which flopped in the USA. It wasn't released on an album in the UK until 1973 (the Red Album), just as a single and an EP. However, in the wake of the film, all sorts of funny things were released in a hurry, nobody thought the US popularity would last and everyone wanted to make a buck while it did. I'd guess that there was a version of the album A Hard Day's Night released in the USA with She Loves You on it.

Now, what to do with the article?

[edit] German story copied from I Want to Hold Your Hand

The story about the German recording session was copied from I Want to Hold Your Hand, which is jarring. Which song was it that this anecdote applies to? If it was the same session, that should be made clear in both articles. Tempshill 00:32, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It was from the same session. The German versions were recorded at the same time. Johnleemk | Talk 08:37, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I find the direct repetition a little hard to stomach too. Also, this article fails to record what the chart positions were of the German language version. --kingboyk 01:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edit to the lead

The lead section was recently changed to state that this song was the second time "Lennon/McCartney" had been used. As far as I know and looking at my sources, it was the first, and I have not seen anything that contradicts this. Unless a source can be provided, this information will have to be discarded. Also, the added statements that the song was "indisputably one of the most famous singles ever made" and "many consider it as defining the early Beatles" are examples of weasel words; corroboration from sources is required.

[edit] Yeah yeah yeah

In the episode "Don't Bug The Mosquitoes" on Gilligan's Island, "Gilligan" made a reference to the song by singing "yeah yeah yeah" to the Skipper when he said, "no no no!"

Yeah yeah yeah is one of the most repeated lines of nothing in all popular music, and I'm sure if someone looked it could be proven that the Beatles weren't the first to use it.

Yeah yeah yeah they were :) Vera, Chuck & Dave 21:32, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
