Claim: It's not a Beatles song. It was composed by Richard Drapkin and originally recorded in 1962 by a Detroit all-female group called The Donays.

Stance: support

Why it matters: It reflects the band's early period (1963), when George Harrison was being shaped by a style closely associated with American pop, R&B, and doo-wop. Simple yet effective instrumentals (Ringo Starr accompanies with maracas on the original recording) and three-part vocal harmonies defined the foundations of Beatlemania.
