Really listen to this song objectively, as if for the first time, and figure how many people would like this if it were done by anyone other than The Beatles?
Might not like if done by someone other that the Beatles, but that's the point there were so damn good they could take a "granny" tune and deliver it. They would get the harmonies right, figure out where the hooks were and deliver it. Other bands would likely suck doing this and I wouldn't be interested. That was the magic of the Beatles. Though actually this is one of my favorites especially on a nice bright sunny morning or to get the feeling that I am waking up to one.

I like this tune (and certainly do not need it in order to survive) but I can understand why it wouldn't rate as high as other Beatles' tunes. To a lot of folks, this is one of McCartney's "ditties" - or as Lennon called them "granny tunes". This song doesn't sound unlike a a song one would hear on a children's television program. Really listen to this song objectively, as if for the first time, and figure how many people would like this if it were done by anyone other than The Beatles? |

As young kids we (my brothers (two) and sister) loved to sing along with all the Beatles albums we owned. I thought I had a good voice, but little did I know (but everybody else did), my voice was changing (more like cracking). One day I was singing along to "Good Day Sunshine" and recording it at the same time. Little did I know but my mother took the tape with my singing on it, recorded a long letter to her brother who was serving in Vietnam and sent it to him. I was absolutely mortified! But the way I look at it, I must have been a great morale booster to all of the men and women who were serving over there. I swear I could hear the laughter all the way back in the states! |

it amazes me how people with limited knowledge of music feel they can pontificate on it.
if you have ever played the beatles music you would know that it is not 3 chord stuff...
it is much more complex.
not that being simple is a criticism, many great songs are 3 chords.
this whole comment seems to come from a negative place.
lily liked the song....why denigrate?
As someone who has played MANY a Beatle song, I agree with you. VERY complex songs, not easily learned. People who aren't musicians shouldn't judge whether something is easy or hard to play. They haven't a clue. |

There should be no more than 1 or 2 songs on any of the Beatles LP's that rate lower than an 8—this isn't one of them. As overplayed as they are, they set the bar.
