I Saw Her Standing There

June and Julie, who are both in their nineties, were filmed dancing at the Count and Care Seniors Club in Coventry.

Since then, the video of them busting moves and throwing shapes to the Beatles hit, I Saw Her Standing There, has been seen more than seventy thousand times.

June Bocart, who's ninety-four, said being able to go to the dance put on by the club meant a great deal.

"I like to make people happy.

Interestingly, Love Me Do was eventually released as a single in Australia another three months later, in January 1964, but without PSI Love You on the B-side.

Instead, I Saw Her Standing There was used as the B-side.

This is rather odd.

All of the Beatles UK singles were released in Australia, and they all had exactly the same B-sides as the British versions apart from this one.

I don't know why it was changed.

Perhaps somebody at EMI in Australia thought that I saw her standing there would make a stronger B-side.

Almost 20 years later, in July 1983, PSI Love You was released as a single in Australia for the first time.

It was on a commemorative three-track 12-inch single, together with both versions of Love Me Do.

that brings us on to song three

yeah so this is the beatles and i saw her standing there so again this is actually also from their their first album like you too and loads of beatles so i want to have a beatles song in there loads i could have picked and beatles is always kind of close to my heart me and my dad so I actually brought my dad to Liverpool last year.

He hadn't been there in decades.

So my dad's actually from Ballybock, kind of in the shadows of Crow Park.

Ah, yeah.

Here we go, man.

I saw her standing there.

One, two, three.

quiet, loud, quiet thing, too.

But if you look at like all of the opening tracks on Beatles albums to that point, you have I Saw Her Standing There, which is a Chuck Berry inspired rocker.

You have It Won't Be Long, which is kind of a loud, fast Motown thing.

A Hard Day's Night, which is another jangly, fast kind of punky song.

What was the first song you fell in love with from the radio as a kid?

"I Saw Her Standing There" by The Beatles.

I, I, I-- It was the first four- first forty-five.

That and not the theme song to The Monkees show, but the closing song that, "In this generation, in this..." That, uh, those were the two songs I remember first connecting with, uh, when I was young.

yeah.

Okay, I saw her standing there or it won't be long.

That's a really, really good one, but I would go, I saw her standing there.

All day long.

Yeah.

And guess what? It's the lead off track.

I saw her standing there.

She was just 17

My first exposure to this song was on a record album I owned as a kid that was from Showbiz Pizza.

Now I've got the greatest selling band of all time, of course, the Beatles.

From the Please Please Me album, I'm going to play I Saw Her Standing There and Love Me Do.

One, two, three, four.

Well, she was just 17.

'80s.[laughs]

Kip Winger has defended the track as a harmless pop song inspired by classic rock tune, The Beatles' I Saw Her Standing There, noting that even pokes fun at the controversy nowadays by jokingly changing the age in the lyrics, uh, to she's only 47.

Yeah, that's a good- That's what he should have sang, and had, like, a grandma fetish.

It says, "The band's 1990 backlash came more from a cultural mocking, such as reoccurring jokes on Beavis and Butt-Head."
