Purpose of use	This song is an example of an early Beatles pop rock recording. It demonstrates the band operating as a basic rock group—guitars, bass, drums and vocals— playing a simple, catchy pop tune. This contrasts with songs they would later create in an expanding range of musical styles, using an increasingly innovative combination of unusual instruments and studio techniques. Though early, it nevertheless demonstrates an advance the band had already made in its "incorporation of a harmonized release, which, for the first time on a Beatles single, supplied a strong musical and emotional contrast to the overall exuberance of the song". (Source: Gould, Jonathan (2008), Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain and America. Piatkus. ISBN 978-0-7499-2988-6, p. 214.) The sample presents part of the second verse, towards the end of which the harmonization can be heard in the combined vocals of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Words alone are inadequate to describe the song, and presenting the sound of this song alongside later ones is necessary for a complete understanding of its nature and its contrast with material from other periods, and hence of the way the band's music evolved during their career. Additionally, this song is historically significant: its sudden huge popularity in the U.S. in late 1963 was a key moment in the group's success story, as detailed in the article.
