Hear him play this live in State College a few years ago, and it still rocks. Long live “filler” so sparkling as this!

I absolutely love this song, such a great song from the Help! album.

If George was annoyed with Paul for making the swap, then it was really George who was forgetting the big picture – because Paul’s imaginative, funky guitar work is what makes the song really unusual and great. George’s solo I’m sure was fine but it couldn’t have been as good and memorable as Paul’s.

It would have been interesting to hear George Harrison’s original solo and compare it to McCartney’s. One of the reasons George was so annoyed with Paul was that he did stuff like this. Pity that Paul was so focused on his work that sometimes he’d forget the bigger picture was keeping the band enthusiastic about playing with one another.

I agree with many statements here and that this being a “filler” song is ridiculous. They didn’t have to revolutionize songwriting with every track they recorded. I enjoy these little gems in their catalogue that are not as familiar as some on rotation.

According to notes written by George Martin in 1965, George played acoustic guitar while John played electric rhythm on his Fender.

I always thought the lyric was “She’s sweeter than all the girls, and I’ve HAD quite a few,” making the “harsh, occasionally smug” lyrics more harsh and smug.

As some else said if this had been released as a single, it would have been a huge hit.Paul McCartney really is the master of catchy tunes and this is just another example. It is great in the film “Help” with this song, when The Beatles are in the Bahamas.

My favorite Help song to listen to and to play. Love the vocal beginning and Paul’s lead guitar

Like many, many Beatles songs, if this one appeared today for the first time it would be a huge hit. Greatest band ever. Greatest songwriters ever. Simply the best.

According to George Martin’s production notes George plays the rhythm acoustic on Gibson J-160e and John plays the off beat electric guitar on Fender Stratocaster. (And of course Paul plays the lead guitar fills on his Epiphone Casino).

I have always thought of this as an early reggae type song, the same way She’s a Woman does as well.

A good track from a solid album. I feel AHDN and WTB to be superior albums although I know that most people would disagree.

This is a great, underrated Beatle song. They may call them fillers…but it rocks. And the overdubbing or double tracking that’s out of sync on the voices creates that boss echo chamber effect that mark so much of their early work ..

Not a serious song. A very fun song. Underrated.

In the Beatles’s movie, “Help!” made in 1965, Paul plays a woman as if she’s a guitar during the “Another Girl” song sequence. Who is that woman?! I don’t want to be creepy or anything, I just want to know. Like, send her a postcard saying, “Good job 43 years ago!” or something.

One of the best songs from “Help!”, in my opinion. Actually, the guitar work was quite advanced for early 1965. Didn’t hear too many licks like this on Top 40 radio back then. This (like “I’ve Just Seen A Face”) is a song that could be worked up with a very credible C&W arrangement also. Just imagine the guitar licks being replaced by a steel guitar…

One of the best song, Beatles 1965. Guitars, drums, bass, vocals. Everything is great.
