For me it sums up Beatlemania - the hair, the yeah yeah hook, the energy. After the tentative toe-in-the-water earlier singles, it must have blown out of those 1964 radios like a hurricane. A classic piece of power pop that threw everything they new into the pot and came out with something new.(and there first truly original single?)
Some songs are more than music and a few make it as icons of a sound or time - this has to be one of them

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

That is all that needs to be said.

Hee, I love your description, Kevin!

The only reason I bought Geoff Emerick's book was because of his description of how they recorded this song. Girls had broken into EMI and were being chased through the halls, the lads were under seige in the studio and didn't dare step out-- and all that adrenalin ended up in the song. You can hear it!

Great number.

i think She Loves You is the best pop record EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i realised today that she loves you was in fact the song that got the whole thing started. of course please please me and from me to you were #1s as well, but they both lacked the energy of she loves you. from me to you sounds like a happy singalong compared to this powerhouse. yes they were well on the road but it is she loves you that really put the beatles on the map.

yep, totally agree! She Loves You was & is such a powerful record, the sheer energy of the song just made the
Beatles! people do say it was I Want to Hold your Hand, but i always think she loves you really does it for me.

hi swine - what made you realize today (the understanding of all that comes from inner peace, or a man on a flaming pie)?

Well said. In North America we hear more about "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and Ed Sullivan, because that's how they broke here. But "She Loves You" and the "A Hard Day's Night" film are better.

there's just fat and grease in my inner soul. i listened to from me to you followed by she loves you the other day and realized that the latter is an enormous powerful song that really got the band started. before that it was just practice.

My brother, who was around back then, said he remembers the first time he ever heard the Beatles. He was out in Jersey getting his car fixed and She Loves You came on the radio. He said he couldn't believe it. He was into music then. Played in a little band at the time. He said he'd never heard anything like it before and knew it was going to change things because it was such a new sound and no one had ever heard anything like it. At least that's what he said. And he's not really even into the Beatles that much. Anyway, I don't think he'd have such a clear memory if the song wasn't that great. Obviously it left an impact.
