Primary composer / Co-written?
editWhy did someone change the information in the articles so it says that this song was co-written? My Beatles book may have a few mistakes, but it's normally very accurate. It says that all but three of the songs were written or primarily written by John Lennon. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 22:50, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- It's reliably sourced. What's your source and what does it say specifically? Sundayclose (talk) 17:23, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
All the info I've seen says that Lennon and McCartney had a deal that whatever either of them wrote, it would be considered "co-written." During the Beatles' existence, I've seen virtually no songs that were solely credited to either one. I also have a "Beatles book" or four. Finally, there's this Wiki page, which seems to say the same. Jororo05 (talk) 16:01, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

editIs a scene from a film a "commercial music video"? I kind of don't think so, especially as there were no music videos at all in 1964. --Daveler16 (talk) 17:05, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
So I changed it. --Daveler16 (talk) 16:36, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
This is a Pop rock song.
editWhy I say this, is because this is a 'teeny bopper' song. Made specifically for the ladies and for the dancehalls.[1] Yes, the song is guitar heavy as most Beatle songs are. "I Should Have Known Better" is considered a Pop Rock song, why isn't this? This certainly fits the bill as it's very poppy. Pop rock is described as a rock song with more emphasis on songwriting and recording craft rather than the attitude that carries from rock and roll.[2] Safe to say this song is pure songwriting craft as Lennon & McCartney have said themselves.[3] Pop rock is also heavily influenced by doo-wop, the verses contain the doo-wop chord progression. Therefore, I would like to change the genre of this song to Pop rock as it fits better than it just being a Rock song. DestinyBattle (talk) 22:13, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- @DestinyBattle: Not done. The source you cite does not identify it as a "pop rock" song. Sundayclose (talk) 00:28, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
