Beatles covers were nothing new even on their second album, but definitely none of the others were borrowed from a Broadway hit. Paul at his most romantic (love that flamenco guitar style!) grabs hold of a hit from Meredith Willson's The Music Man and savors the flavor for all its worth. Even more delightful is the Anthology 1 version (performed at Britain's Royal Command Performance), where Paul introduces the song as having been performed by "our favorite American group, Sophie Tucker."
