Paul wrote this from what I've read...one of the Lennon/McCartney songs that was never recorded by the Beatles....it was recorded by Billy J Kramer and The Dakotas......here's an MP3 I uploaded of it:

But yeah, isn't that the catchiest thing ever? Me likey. I may upload some more of these "Songs They Gave Away" later......

You happen to have Tip Of My Tongue? Never heard that one.

"Tip Of My Tongue" which was recorded by Tommy Quickly........

I knew Tommy Quickly recorded it, but I never heard. And still haven't, for somehow the link doesn't work. I'll try again later. Is there any Beatles-recording of this song known?

Got it now! Thanks! Funny song, but it reminds me always of this point of view: how come these Lennon-McCartney always get a bit 'simple' when not sung by The Beatles themselves? I always seems to miss that typical Beatle-ish sound. I mean, it is written by L&M, but it is not timeless at all. Just like those Peter and Gordon-songs. But maybe the Beatles were just very clever and knew very well what they were giving away...

[Rowdy]

I agree, most of the songs they gave away are a bit more amateurish.......they're really well written pop songs, but not as affecting as The Beatles material..........I think a few of them can hold up with Beatles tracks though ("I'll Keep You Satisfied" "From A Window")
