    A beautifully romantic and melodic ballad, instantly embraced by emerging teenagers just starting to attend dances, "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" had an emotive "depth" that surpassed "Please Please Me," "Love Me Do," "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You." And George Harrison's (if somewhat adenoidal) debut lead vocal on it lent contrast to The Beatles' sound in their albums, as did Ringo's occasional sung song. "Helter Skelter" was the worst.
  • I love this song. It's melody gets in one's head. George was the right Beatle to sing it, with his kind of voice. It was perfect for him, at that time. It's a catchy tune. It fit well on the Beatles Something New album. And the part of the Hard Day's Night movie scene, when the Beatles perform it, is very memorable.

    I'd be happy to have had the success those five songs had.
  • Paul didn't like the song but he was the one with john who wrote it then sang by George. I think he dont want George to be a belong to them as a lead singer

    Hold Me Tight -yep -always thought it was a very average song -pure filler. And Yer Blues I don't really like but it did help define The Beatles (White album). As for the other tracks I don't agree at all. All are good album tracks, especially What You're Doing and She Said She Said -for me these tracks are pure gold. Both are top songs from Beatles for Sale and Revolver respectively.

    Never heard of those 2 songs so probably are bad.
