Special post today... It's the enormously popular German version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand"! This version is pretty much exactly the same as the English version, except in German. Great way to learn some German vocab, actually, and it's neat to see just how much you recognize--English is (mostly) a Germanic language, after all. :)
This jam and "Sie Liebt Dich" ("She Loves You") were the two songs The Beatles re-recorded in German, under the assumption that they had to sing in German to win over fans in that country. They later realized it probably wasn't necessary, but it still left us with some great non-English Beatles songs. :) This recording session was also the guys' only one outside of the UK during their career.
Note: For the Heard It Tally, I'm counting "Komme, Gib Mir Deine Hand" but not "Sie Liebt Dich" since I only listened to the former; I feel the two songs should count as one song anyway since they're basically only covers of themselves.
