Paul McCartney and John Lennon - Gimme Danger (Slash Video - Love video)
===========================
It's Only Love - Lennon/McCartney Love
***********************************
"This Boy" is a song by British rock band The Beatles
composed by John Lennon,and was first released in
November 1963 as the B-side of the UK Parlophone
single "I Want to Hold Your Hand".
The Beatles performed it live
on 16 February 1964 for their second
Ed Sullivan Show appearance in the USA.
It also appears as the third track
on side one of US release,
Meet the Beatles!.
Contents Its composition was an attempt by John Lennon at writing a song in the style of Motown star Smokey Robinson, specifically his song "I've Been Good To You", which has similar circular doo-wop chord changes, melody and arrangement, and Paul McCartney cites The Teddy Bears 1959 hit To Know Him Is To Love Him as also being influential. Lennon, McCartney, and George Harrison join together to sing an intricate three-part close harmony in the verses and refrain (originally the middle eight was conceived as a guitar solo, but altered during the recording process) and a similar song writing technique is exercised in later Beatles songs, such as "Yes It Is" and "Because" (which, interestingly, are among the few Beatles songs which also feature three-part harmonies). An instrumental version of "This Boy", orchestrated by George Martin, is used as the incidental music during Ringo Starr's towpath scene in the film A Hard Day's Night.
The piece, under the title, "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)"
was released as a single - but failed to chart in the UK -
on 7 August 1964 with <<And I Love Her>> on the B Side,
although it did reach #53 in the American Top 100 later that year.
It was also included on Martins Parlophone album
Off The Beatle Track and the EP Music From "A Hard Days Night" by the George Martin Orchestra, released 19 February 1965. It was also included on the American A Hard Day's Night soundtrack album
They never really hated eachother - it was just a heckload of tension. They jammed together in John's Lost Weekend (and John was gonna surprise Paul and play on his album, but reunited with Yoko just before he went), Paul visited The Dakota several times when John took care of Sean, and John said (in 1980, 8th/12) that Paul were like a brother to him - they had their quarrels and dissagreements, but in the end John would do anything for him, and he believed Paul would do the same. :)
