You're Going to Lose That Girl

Today's song, "You're Going to Lose That Girl" was written by Paul and John. In the song, the singer threatens to steal his friend's girl away; his friend hasn't been treating her well and she deserves better: "I'll make a point of taking her away from you (watch what you do) / Yeah, the way you treat her, what else can I do?" I like this one, and I'm sure it was very popular with the ladies--who wouldn't find it romantic to be "rescued" from a boring or bad relationship by someone who cares about your happiness and wellbeing? :P 

Wikipedia tells us that "Lennon's lead singing is set in a call-and-response with the enthusiastic answering harmonies of McCartney and George Harrison, offering a last glimpse of the early Beatles' musical home turf." The classic call-and-response technique we saw so much of falls by the wayside from here on out as the guys mature and start to take bigger risks in their music and lyrics. 

Well that's all for today! See you tomorrow. :)
