This song sounds really good when played at deafening volumes. Feelies version isn't so shabby either.

There's also a pretty good Kristin Hersh version, b-side to a single from some years ago.

It's my favorite intro to a Beatles song.

I can't agree more with Sotosyn, I was about to post the same thing.

The rest of the song though...meh.
Love the overmodulated mic sound as he screams "Take it EASY!"

The cymbals make the song. Joyful ringing abandon.

this is like the last "fun" rocking beatles song actually
Feelies version > Beatles version.
I know, what an "ILM" thing to say. But it's true.

Did the Rolling Stones borrow the intro for Start Me Up?

I've always liked the song, and I've always had a soft spot for the 60ft Dolls version as well, but then I'm a Newport boy so...

My old band used to cover this song, and it was the one song I would sing each night. Always a fun time, especially whilst playing that zonkers bassline.
