What a silly comment… It’s easily one of the best songs on Help! and Paul’s career… If any other artist came out with a song like this it would be considered their masterpiece and they would be fighting the rest of their lives to top it. But not for Paul… he just belted this out one day and never looked back.

Your kids are Beatle children, 27 to 11? Well my kids are Chicago kids, 25 or 6 to 4…

I find it pretty hard to believe that this song was not written by Paul Simon. There is just no other McCartney song with lyrics like this. It sounds almost exactly like The Leaves That Are Green. Both songs were recorded in June 1965 and released in August that year.

Anyway u.s. Rubber Soul is not a Beatles LP, is just a record company compilation. The guys didn’t make it.

I agree I find myself singing this song myself. I think because it is so unlike other Beatles songs.

“Mr Bass Man” by Johnny Cymbal was the inspiration apparently.

One of McCartneys best songs from this era. Was surprised to read there is no bass in this song, but alas, yes, no bass guitar ! definitely Ringo playing brushed drums, NOT bongos

It’s funny how the American Rubber Soul seems to get all the credit and, in many cases, I’d say it’s deserved. It’s such a tightly constructed album and example of how addition by subtraction can work majestically. Sure. The British Rubber Soul is probably a better collection of songs, but the Capitol edition is such a wonderful listening experience. Especially considering how most of the American albums are rambling compilations (I’m looking at you Help!/Something New), it’s no surprise to me why Rubber Soul in the U.S. was such a breath of fresh air. It’s just a shame that Revolver had to get neutered because of Yesterday and Today (also a better album than people often realize), but that probably led to the overwhelming surprise that was Sgt. Pepper’s because that album was so out-of-left-field when it was released.

Wonderful Paul McCartney song, very country and western. One of my favorite songs on album Help! from the time I first got it for my birthday in March 1980. As you said on this site Paul McCartney really shows versatility, he recorded this I’m Down and Yesterday all in one day. Help! an album that should always be in top 100 of all time.

You must have been pleased to see the Paul’s – Simon & Mccartney singing this on SNL. 5 years in the making, but you were definitely proved right.

Since reading Lewisohn’s book, all I can think about when I hear this song is Japage 3 (“the rythm is in the guitars”). It had to have been a blast to have them all back playing guitars together for a song. Just a great little song to listen to.

John and George do not sing. Its all Paul.

One reason it fits nicely as an opening song on “Rubber Soul” is because the last guitar strum note of it segues perfectly with the beginning guitar sound of “Norwegian Wood”.

actually john paul george all play acoustically together and harmonise vocals ringo plays bongos the lyrics are propulsive and drive the song forward to the chorus Ithink it is a rollicking fun number that is totally unique to the whole catalog jesus mosquito

Very much disagree that this song is of little distinction. I believe that this song and Don’t Let Me Down are the two most underrated songs in the Beatles catalogue.

It’s on “Help!” though.

A weak song of little distinction. This song definitely does not fit on Rubber Soul.
