DudeHOST
Yeah,
DonHOST
I think that's, I mean, that's the same riff as I Feel Fine, isn't it? That little ding, ding, ding, ding.
DonHOST
It's similar.
DonHOST
Yeah.
Chris LastelleHOST
The imported American blues influenced a lot of the local bands, including an unsigned combo with an unstable lineup who included it in their set list for their cabin club and Hamburg gigs.
Chris LastelleHOST

Chris LastelleHOST
This is The Beatles and their song I Feel Fine.
Chris LastelleHOST
released as a seven-inch final single in November 1964 and credited to the songwriting team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
Chris LastelleHOST
It was the band's next big hit, a Christmas number one in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden.
Chris LastelleHOST
which struggled to keep up with the group's output, popularity and reach.
Eric BeauregardGUEST
I had to remem- memorize it, because in order to play along with a song, you had to, had to know how to work through it.
Eric BeauregardGUEST
And of course, like, the, the more difficult, like I Feel Fine and Day Tripper, I needed Gilly to kinda walk me through that, 'cause here I am, like, 13, 12, and I just, I just didn't have the experience with it.
Eric BeauregardGUEST
But after a couple years of that, playing with Gilly, I, I just, I was onto something, and it consumed me, Max.
Eric BeauregardGUEST
It, it just-
Steve TaylorGUEST
Until 1966, they were recording two or three songs in one day.
Steve TaylorGUEST
So we're talking about songs like Ticket to Ride, I Feel Fine, I Want to Hold Your Hand.
Steve TaylorGUEST
You'd never, ever guess that these songs were just the product of maybe two or three hours of John Paul writing it.
Steve TaylorGUEST
an hour arranging and rehearsing, then maybe two hours to record it.
Sam PopkinGUEST
Yeah.
Sam PopkinGUEST
And that's like the I Feel Fine.
Sam PopkinGUEST
It's a really great sound, but it's very honky and strange.
Sam PopkinGUEST
But, um, it's still hard to tell 'cause of like two-track recording with Please Please Me.
Jason CartyHOST
They can't be all places for all people.
Jason CartyHOST
And so on November the 23rd, they record promos for We Can Work It Out, Day Tripper, Help!, Ticket to Ride, and I Feel Fine.
Jason CartyHOST
So, uh, some of their old stuff and some of their new stuff, which they do out in Twickenham Film Studios.
Jason CartyHOST
I'm telling you, the parallels to Get Back are just unreal.
Ryan JansonHOST
Up next, it's a record that helped inspire that song.
Ryan JansonHOST
John Lennon acknowledged that both Day Tripper and I Feel Fine grew out of variations of this guitar riff.
Ryan JansonHOST
Here's Bobby Parker, and from 1961, it's Watch Your Step.

Steven CockcroftHOST
not my bag
Jason CartyHOST
Yeah, it's a George Martin Orchestra starts with a medley, including I Feel Fine.
Jason CartyHOST
And then Lennon and McCartney appear, you know, doing doing their linky bits.
Jason CartyHOST

Steve HollandHOST
And so I think those two phases are interesting, and I love them both equally, but I think we're at the sort of, you know, almost the pinnacle, maybe Rubber Soul, of, like, the John-Ford era of The Beatles.
Zak PlucinskiHOST
Yes.
Zak PlucinskiHOST
I feel like with this album, as much as I like all of the covers, and I think we'll get to it, but I wish they would've cut all of the covers out, cut the album down to 10 songs, recorded a few more, input I Feel Fine on it.
Steve HollandHOST
I think, well, we've talked about that.
Zak PlucinskiHOST
[laughs]
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I start.
Will HinesHOST
Was this hard for them or was this the one they're this is like a by the numbers song but this is like the one that they got this one down like this feels a lot like Not in a bad way, but in the same family of I Feel Fine and Eight Days a Week.
Joel SpencePANELIST
This was a good collaboration between George and Paul with that underlying guitar.
Curtis GwynnPANELIST
But I also feel like this is the album where Paul McCartney was like, if I'm going to play the fucking bass, they're going to hear it, and it's going to sound phenomenal.

It's a
Will HinesHOST
case-by-case basis.
Will HinesHOST
The Beatles took that Bobby Parker song and made I Feel Fine, but once the words start up, it's a different song.
Will HinesHOST
They evolved it to a different place.
