Writing and Recording
The song was written by Lennon and McCartney and sung by Ringo. In the early days of The Beatles, they gave Ringo one song to sing, either a cover or something written by Lennon or McCartney that wasnot considered strong material. George did not recall the song, once saying "We've just come across that, and it's the most weird song. I've no recollection of ever recording it. It's got stupid words and is the naffest song. No wonder it didn't make it onto anything." The song was recorded on February 18, 1965 in one take. After that, the vocals and a second guitar part played by George were overdubbed. Instead of using this song, they just gave Act Naturally to Ringo to cover.
