[edit] A Hard Day's Night

Interestingly, although this article says that the song appears on A Hard Day's Night, it's not in the track listing there!

Here's what I think might have happened. She Loves You was recorded long before the album or film A Hard Day's Night, and released in the USA as one of the Beatles' first three singles, all of which flopped in the USA. It wasn't released on an album in the UK until 1973 (the Red Album), just as a single and an EP. However, in the wake of the film, all sorts of funny things were released in a hurry, nobody thought the US popularity would last and everyone wanted to make a buck while it did. I'd guess that there was a version of the album A Hard Day's Night released in the USA with She Loves You on it.

Now, what to do with the article?

[edit] German story copied from I Want to Hold Your Hand

The story about the German recording session was copied from I Want to Hold Your Hand, which is jarring. Which song was it that this anecdote applies to? If it was the same session, that should be made clear in both articles. Tempshill 00:32, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It was from the same session. The German versions were recorded at the same time. Johnleemk | Talk 08:37, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I find the direct repetition a little hard to stomach too. Also, this article fails to record what the chart positions were of the German language version. --kingboyk 01:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edit to the lead

The lead section was recently changed to state that this song was the second time "Lennon/McCartney" had been used. As far as I know and looking at my sources, it was the first, and I have not seen anything that contradicts this. Unless a source can be provided, this information will have to be discarded. Also, the added statements that the song was "indisputably one of the most famous singles ever made" and "many consider it as defining the early Beatles" are examples of weasel words; corroboration from sources is required.

[edit] Yeah yeah yeah

In the episode "Don't Bug The Mosquitoes" on Gilligan's Island, "Gilligan" made a reference to the song by singing "yeah yeah yeah" to the Skipper when he said, "no no no!"

Yeah yeah yeah is one of the most repeated lines of nothing in all popular music, and I'm sure if someone looked it could be proven that the Beatles weren't the first to use it.

Yeah yeah yeah they were :) Vera, Chuck & Dave 21:32, 26 September 2006 (UTC)


I'm a little unsure if the Stereo Remixes section should read as it does. Although it was quite nice of him to do the mixes, Dominick Giammarino is not a notable figure in Beatles history. I think a little vote is in order. We all have toyed with Beatles songs over the years. * Sixstring1965The Beatles Wikiproject August 24, 2007 21:59

[edit] tone

I've placed a {{tone}} tag on this article because of the hyperbole and the POV. -- Mikeblas 03:53, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

There is some questionable content, but why don't you fix it rather than adding the tone tag??? John Cardinal 03:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Mainly because I don't know much about The Beatles, but I can recognize terrible writing pretty readily. -- Mikeblas 03:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
With that comment, you put your finger on the problem with all those style-related tags - people often use them as a substitute for actually improving articles, which is why wikipedia is littered with those ugly, stupid things. IMHO, of course. - DavidWBrooks 10:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
(However, perhaps it works - it spurred to to hack out a bunch of irrelevant chunks.) - DavidWBrooks 11:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Yep; grumpy pot-shots aside, they're generally effective. -- Mikeblas 03:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Got stats to backup the "generally effective" comment? John Cardinal 00:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Nope, just my own experience with that tag. Fortunately, in Talk:space articles, OR is allowed and references aren't required. What really matters is that this article is getting better. -- Mikeblas 01:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
DavidWBrooks was working on the article before the tone tag was applied, and his edits are the only ones that are related to tone. Claim victory if you want, but the evidence doesn't support the claim. John Cardinal 13:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:02 shelovesyou.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] "Credited to"

What's with the weird wording about the songwriting? - "written by the Beatles, credited to Lennon/McCarthy" - why not just "written by Lennon/McCarthy"? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 13:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, but I changed it. It was not "written by the Beatles". — John Cardinal (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
