Does anyone know who is Simon Smith (or Sling as certain sources says) ? Is it a instance where the group could not decipher the original lyrics and put something that fitted or is it the name of a obscure british TV private eye or the like ?

he did. if you listen to the origional, there are a couple Paul put in that arent’ on the Coasters recording. it may be an olddie as far as when it was recorded, but for some reason i love the fact that the Beatles were Coasters fans. no one has ever secceaded in making the guitar part soound like the orgioanl, but this one is fun. i understand there is a recording of John singing the lead(only Paul owns it). this i understand was a big fan favorite when they played in the Cavern.

This song is how I got the 2 Beatles Anthology CDs, Anthology 1 and 3. I first found it on the Internet labeled “Sexy Paul Voice”, and I was like, “Really?” Turns out, it was the guys, and for me, when I heard Paul sing that song, I was like, “Whoa! He sure is talented!” A couple months later, mom borrowed my next door neighbor’s copy of Anthology 2 to put onto iTunes, and I really wanted to get the other two to put onto iTunes as well, and so, for my 17th birthday, I got them! I love these CDs because it has Beatles stuff no one has heard before, and this song is the best song on Anthology 1. Period. No explanation needed.

Does anyone have an explanation of where some of the lyrics come from? Did Paul modify the lyrics himself from those in the Coasters original?

Notice the revised lyrics. Peter Gunn didn’t even exist when The Coasters did the original version…

‘Gonna find her, Gonna find her’

Yeaaaaaaaah – searchin’……

This is the best pre-fab song, cover, performance, or whatever (including Some Other Guy)

A head banger… For real. Heavy guitar strummin, pulsing drums, bass, and an outstanding freeway vocal by Paul…
Smooth backing by Lennon/Harrison.(Gonna find her)

This rocks!
It’s only flaw is: it’s too darn short.
And the sound quality’s poor, – though it has this Beatles-in-the-garage kind of charms…
Should’ve been a 9 minute strumm-a-long, like the Velvet Underground used to go on and on and on and louder and heavier…

(Gonna find her) Yeah-heah, cus I’m searchin’
