I Want to Hold Your Hand

Like, they just figured out their sound, and it kind of goes from there.

Yeah, I think if you're doing the sort of boy band song, Mount Rushmore, it's, to me at least, it's I Want to Hold Your Hand by the Beatles, I Want You Back by the Jackson 5, I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys, and What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction.

Yeah, I think that's fair.

Apologies to

Promoted, Doc, about the Twinkie.

What does Andy Pahez, the Beatles' greatest song about hands, I Want to Hold Your Hand, and Twinkies, the hostess Twinkie, have in common?

Hmm.

This Saturday

So this song was released in 63 off of the Please Please Me album by the Beatles.

But the single was released in the US in March of 1964 after I Want to Hold Your Hand.

They put this, like, kind of re-released it.

I don't know if it was a re-release.

And it fits, like, obviously there's the movie of the same name, which you picture them running through the streets, chased by a million women, to this song.

It's just, like, what I thought of, like, 1964 Beatlemania...

this is the one that kind of just came to me as like this is the right one to pick even though like maybe i want to hold your hand is the obvious choice like i think this is just an incredibly energetic great song and uh so yeah hard day uh hard day's night love it great

honorable mention i knew you'd have it doug it was in your top 10 i'm pretty sure it was up there

Shouldn't be there.

15, I Want to Hold Your Hand by the Beatles.

Beatles, that's good.

Is it Bettles or Beatles?

three number one records back to back to back get us started on the 60s nine track one from 1963 in the uk i want to hold your hand the beatles of course that was the first beatles recording with the four tracks Absolutely.

And they did that on the B-side too, which was called This Boy.

So far, there's been volumes one and two.

He's also written a book called Got That Something? How the Beatles' I Want to Hold Your Hand Changed Everything and The Beatles from the Cavern to the Rooftop.

He also writes for Beatle Fan Magazine and always a delight to work with here on this show.

Hi, Alan.

Are they talking about like the Beatles? Like early Beatles? That was pop music in the early 60s.

Are they talking about I Want to Hold Your Hand? Anyway, Dylan was born in St.

Louis County, Minnesota.

He moved to New York City in 1961 to pursue a music career.
