10 Beatles Songs That Paul McCartney Hated

[@JMLin-l6q]

I think it would be more accurate to say that Paul found these particular songs disappointing on some level for various reasons. But to claim he "hates" them? I think that's a stretch.

"Hold Me Tight" was one of those early Beatles songs that I just loved! Just a great "feel-good" song with some excellent vocal work.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

I always hated it because the vocal is so distressingly out of tune! It may or may not be a decent track but it's one of those few occasions where a Beatles track is diminished rather than enhanced by the quality of the lead vocal.

[@carlcushmanhybels8159]

@@gerrycoogan6544 Paul clearly had a cold during recording of Hold Me Tight. His otherwise wonderful voice got nasal with his stuffed nose. And he got tired. Never having heard the song as a kid, when I finally heard it I loved it: for its chugging power rhythm guitar, and feel good Up.

[@gerrycoogan6544]

@@carlcushmanhybels8159 John had a cold when The Beatles recorded "Twist And shout"! It's still a classic because it sounds great. "Hold Me Tight" does NOT sound great; it sounds rotten. It's one of the worst Beatles tracks that was ever released. I'm sure it could have been a great track if Paul had done it justice with his vocal delivery but on this rare occasion he failed to do so. So, for all objective purposes, the track sucks to this very day. I do wish he had revisited it in later years and sung it properly (just as I wish George would have re-recorded his vocal for "Dark Horse" once his voice had recovered from the hoarseness which afflicted him during the original recording.) They're both fine songs which deserved better recordings for posterity. Nevertheless, "With The Beatles" is still one of my favourite Beatles albums.

[@sidewinder3000]

@@gerrycoogan6544I wish I could say that you’re “objectively wrong” about Hold Me tight, but alas, it’s just my opinion. It’s a tight, fun little romp with chiming vocal melodies and it brims with energy. Def one of my favorite album tracks from the early days.

[@davidhall158]

It’s always been a standout track for me due to the dreadful vocal. I find it hard to believe they allowed it to be released.

[@spockboy]

Hold Me Tight has a kick ass guitar riff, Little Child isn't bad at all and I love the harmonica. I'm Happy Just to Dance With You sounds so happy with fantastic rhythm guitar, and it's nice to hear George sing especially back then. What You're Doing is very pleasant. The fact that these songs are considered rejects simply demonstrates how high the Beatles bar actually is.

[@TigerRogers0660]

"Hold Me Tight" deserves a lot more praise than it is given. That guitar motif by Harrison is BRILLIANT - very hard to play. And without it the song would be very ordinary. It is said that no one put much effort into the song. Well George certainly did!!

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

i agree. "hold me tight" and "little child" are both great rockers. the two worst songs on "with the beatles" are "this boy" and "til there was you." YUCK! "i'm happy just to dance with you" was a throw away song though. but i'm glad george got a song to sing in the film. all i can say is i'm glad i have better taste in beatles' music than mccartney does. it also has to be remembered that a lot of artists are most critical of their past work. what they like is basically whatever they're doing at the moment. what's my least liked beatle songs? there's a few. i really dislike "mr. moonlight" (a cover), "run for life" (i like the music but not the lyrics), "baby's in black, "the long and winding road" (i strongly dislike the orchestration), "blue jay way" (is too drawn out) and "yesterday" (which isn't a bad song just way overrated and ridiculously identified as the beatles best song.)

I'm glad he had Linda to help him through that. I know he had to be tough on them later, but he wanted to make sure he got his money, (you never give me your money, you only give me your funny paper and in the middle of negotiations I break down.) Paul didn't trust Klein, and he wasn't going to get ripped off like earlier in their career. It broke my heart when they broke up; having loved them since I was 13 yrs; but it was a great ride!!!❤

[@vicbertfartingclack4559]

Paul McCartney never ever said he hated She Said She Said! Not once. He also never suggested it was “not to his liking”. That is a ridiculous claim. In fact with maybe the exception of Revolution 9, I don’t think you can claim Paul “hated” any of these songs. Who writes this stuff?! Honestly!

[@8176morgan]

Kudos to you. Here is my previous post if you care to read it. This video would be better titled as "The One Song That Paul McCartney Hated" which was Revolution #9, and it would definitely have been better served as being released as a solo piece by John Lennon. Not really a song but just avant-garde music heavily influenced by Y-O. A couple of suitable replacements would have been "Hey Bulldog" and "Not Guilty" that latter of which really should have been on the White Album. As for all the rest, maybe the versions released weren't the best but they're all good songs. "Hold Me Tight" and "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You" have always been a couple of my faves by them; but then again, for a group as renowned as the Beatles there is an awful lot of good material in which to choose from.

[@ianboyle1026]

@@8176morgan Agreed. Except I've found, over the decades, that Revolution 9 actually grows on you. I didn't really dislike it when it first came out, I certainly didn't fully understand it, but it was an product of the times, for sure. Since then, I find myself enjoying it a bit like I enjoy a Jackson Pollack painting. And funnily enough, it never occurred to me until now that it was a product of Yoko's influence. But I guess I could concede that possibility. It was certainly very, very trippy. All those others, except possibly for Little Child, are great songs.

Paul was a perfectionist and rather picky. "She Said, She Said" is brilliant. Like I have said before, John gave Pau's music some edge and Paul gave John some refinement. You can tell by a lot of "sappy" songs by Wings that John would have commented on and the raw songs on the "Plastic Ono" album, where Paul would has insisted on more takes.

[@carlannerstedt6796]

"She said she said" is/was a Paul fav

[@norai.5826]

More takes? Maybe. I've heard cute short demos by Lennon to find later that the definitive versions were boring and overly long. His repertoire could be considered stronger, deeper, more committed, etc... then Paul's light output, but excluding the 2 masterpieces (Jealous guy, Working class hero) and the very pop songs of the final years, his output IMVHO has a strong lack of melody (yes, Imagine too). Probably it would have been better using also better arrangements, alternating a more melodic voice a la McCartney, having more takes, etc... but the missing part is the melody in the compositions. Just my 2 cents.

[@kevinfessler6831]

@@carlannerstedt6796 Yes, storming out of a recording session due to an argument doesn't necessarily mean Paul didn't like the song. That might have been a stretch. I do agree with the narrator that Paul was far kinder to the "throwaway" songs than John, who could be brutal. John also hated the "grandfolks" songs that Paul wrote like "When I'm 64" and "You're Mother Should Know". John could be tough on his own songs as well. "Run for your Life" comes to mind.

[@dmellis]

I've never heard what Paul's objections to She Said She Said were. I'm very curious since it's the only serious fight we hear of this early in their career. I think George's bass playing on it is fantastic and sounds like what Paul might have done.

Disagree about Yer Blues. Which is a good hard rock song and quite a contrast to Birthday which it follows on the White Album.. I do agree with Paul about Long and Winding Road, which I think of as Long and Boring Road. I'll have to look up Paul's simpler version of it. I agree that She Said She Said is good. Of course, none of these songs measure up to Paul's masterpiece with Wings, Bip Bop. Okay, Paul hates Bip Bop and there's not a lot to it. However, I like it. It's just a fun rock song, kind of reminding me of Tommy James and the Shondell's Hanky Panky. Rock doesn't have to be profound.

I'm not such a fan of Tommy James and the Shondells during the later era of the band when they had moved to a more psychedelic sound. It's not that I don't like psychedelic or freakbeat songs. But other than Crimson and Clover, that style for Tommy James and the Shondells just didn't work well for me. I prefer stuff like I think We're Alone Now.

I love John Lennon and he was an artist that needed to deconstruct his past, burn his canvases, to move forward. After he returned from India, he went off for a while. Incredibly, he still did some astonishing work. Barry Miles attests that he was at risk of being an acid casualty. Two Virgins and Rev 9 are like showing a pile of steaming crap. Paul kept trying to keep the ball rolling, like a boss sometimes, and we got some great music. For me, John didn’t return to his depth until Double Fantasy, and he was rusty but brilliant. Trading tracks with Yoko makes the album unlistenable for me. Thankfully, we have playlists now.

[@OroborusFMA]

Revolution 9 is a high point of late modernism. It is a brilliant bit of audio collage. What I can't figure is why John didn't do more in that style. Yoko appears to have dried up his muse and desire to radically experiment.

I would say Ringo was a far bigger fan of The Beatles than Paul for many years. Paul did not even play Beatles' songs in concert for about 6 years after The Fabs split. And even though it might be convenient to now say that Paul's back-to-basics version of 'The Long and Winding Road' on 'Let It Be...Naked' conformed to Paul's original vision, Paul actually made a much more syrupy version (with strings) for his film 'Give My Regards To Broad Street', to which he added strings.

There was a Beatles cartoon show on Australian TV, aired most afternoons. I'd almost run all the way home from high school to watch that show. I'd tape the songs on a cheap battery powered tape recorder to learn the words, as well as the harmonies, and it was hilarious when I taped them with the batteries in the recorder on the way out. When I played them back with fresh batteries, they sounded kinda like the chipmunks! I used to hold the microphone near the TV set's speaker to record. I'm writing this comment because that cartoon show, produced without any involvement from the Fabs, and using voice actors to provide the dialog in between the songs, used to feature heavily ALL the songs that Paul didn't like! Mr Moonlight, I'm Happy Just To Dance With You, etc, they were all on show every week. Consequently we all grew to love them equally, right along with the No.1 hit songs. Decades later, the 50s and 60s covers band, in which I played lead guitar, covered a few of the "rarities" as well as the famous songs. I particularly love Mr Moonlight. To help me pitch my voice for the loud screaming vocal intro "MR MOONLIGHT!!" I'd have our keyboard player play softly the root chord note of the key in which we'd play the song. Incidentally I now live in a lane called Rarity Street. Couldn't pass that up when looking for a place to rent.

I agree; it sounds like Paul’s style. I think he played bass, then some argument ensued, and the band finished the song without Paul present.

I went to a benefit concert for Sir George Martin at USC back in about 2008 or so and I'm sure that they said that the Beatles or Paul McCartney specifically wrote The Long and Winding Road for Tom Jones, but his label refused to let him record it. Tom performed it at this concert and his rendition was superb!

This was, I'm afraid, pure clickbait. Other than Revolution#9, Paul doesn't speak of hating songs. He hated what Phil Spector did with "The Long & Winding Road" but calling songs "work songs" or not being particularly impressed doesn't equate to hate.

[@peterjpcritchley173]

I don't think Macca 'hated' these songs (he hated the Spector production on a couple), so much as thought them slight. Every song doesn't have to be a world-beater, and the fact that they aren't doesn't make them filler. With the one exception, there's a place for all these songs on a very decent album. The best thing about 'Revolution #9' is when Ringo turns up to sing 'Good Night.'

[@LonnyZiblat]

I read that about 'She Said She Said' but Revolver just came out again, and there's a 15th take of the song with a live backing track of drums, bass and two guitars. You can actually hear Paul counting it off. Now you can say that maybe he left and a later take was used, but you can hear the same bass sound and same way of playing. If George would have grabbed the bass it would have sounded quite differently.

@@dmellis Same here. I think it's an outstanding cut on the Revolver album but having said that, I don't know what it sounded like before John, George and Ringo pulled it into the shape that we are all familiar with today. Some of the early versions we can hear today of classic John songs are so rough that it's remarkable to realise that anyone thought they were worth working on. (For example, the various parts of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" that we can hear on the final Anthology album are, to say the least, distinctly unpromising!) I've read that it was George who was chiefly responsible for pulling the middle section of "She Said, She Said" into shape and I find that easy to believe, especially in the circumstances where - for the first time - George would have felt at ease to make a major contribution without feeling he was in the overwhelming shadow of Paul. I think it's fairly telling that John, post-split, was keen to continue his very productive working relationship with George ("How Do You Sleep?", "Oh My Love", "Gimme Some Truth") until their relationship broke down in the wake of John's failure to help George for the Bangladesh Fundraiser Concert.

[@paulhaynes8045]

Can't pretend I liked it - I think the White Album could (and should) been reduced to a 2-sided album, there's a lot of filler on it - but you can dislike a track and still see its importance. Looking back, it's utterly amazing that a pop group could issue an album with such a track on it - only the Beatles (only John Lennon) could have done such a thing. It was a warning in a way - the party was over, the band were breaking up, Lennon had grown beyond McCartney and his pretty tunes. None of that makes it any more listenable though! As for McCartney hating it, he probably did and still does. But there's an element of jealousy there too. When ever Paul was interviewed post-Lennon's death, he always made a point of claiming that it was him, and not Lennon, who was really into the avant-guarde - he knew the people, he went to the gigs and art shows. It must have really hurt to hear Lennon being constantly talked about as the serious one, the thinking Beatle, while Paul was just the pretty boy who wrote nice tunes. And when Lennon was shot, while still (more or less) at his peak, that view of him was cemented into history. Paul could protest as much as he liked (and he did!), but no one was listening. However awful R9 sounds, McCartney must, in retrospect, long to have been associated with it, to be known as the dare-devil who showed his avant-guard side so daringly on the follow-up to Sgt Pepper. But, whatever the truth (which as always, is far more nuanced than it appears) is, McCartney will always be known as the pretty boy who wrote all those nice songs, whilst Lennon was the one on the edge, the one who dared, the one who transcended the greatest pop group the world has ever known - whilst all Paul did was form a sub-standard Beatles 2, and write pretty songs, none of which was remotely as good as the stuff he wrote with Lennon. And then Lennon died and became a god, so McCartney could never correct the record. That must really hurt. No wonder he hates Revolution 9.

Paul's "granny songs" such as *Yellow Submarine* financed the unprecedented costs of making the entire *Sergeant Pepper* album. It's interesting to note that John never ever turned down a royalty cheque for any of the songs, granny music or otherwise, which were written entirely by Paul. John made a heck of a lot more of his beloved dollars from *Ob-La-Di* and *Blackbird* than Paul ever made from *Revolution #9, Cry Baby, Cry, Julia, Yer Blues, Happiness Is A Warm Gun* and "Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except For Me And My Monkey)* put together. And that's just one album. Paul's songs were far more widely covered and got more radio plays than John's songs did. All of that added up to huge royalties. As for *Yesterday,* John didn't write a single word or note of that song and he wasn't even on the recording of it but he was still happy to deposit the massive profits from it into his own bank account without protest. He made literally millions of dollars from a Paul song to which he contributed absolutely nothing other than resistance to even including it on a Beatles album.
