Both John and Paul have said that "You Know My Name" is their favourite Beatles song. They worked on it, on and off for years. One of the background sounds is Beatles assistant, Mal Evans, shovelling gravel. There's also a six minute, uncut version. of it. Perhaps the funniest thing about this song is that it's the B side to "Let It Be."

In 1988 Paul said “You Know My Name” was probably his favorite Beatles track. “We had these endless, crazy fun sessions. And eventually we pulled it all together… And it was just so hilarious to put that record together. It’s not a great melody or anything, it’s just unique.” It’s not a great track, but you can hear that they certainly had fun with it.

I really love You Know My Name. The "full" version is a gem. I especially love that they had this crazy song lying around for years and that Paul and John decided to add the vocals to it and just have fun... when their relationship couldn't be more tense (April/May 1969). They just chose to spend a day working on it and have fun as friends. It's lovely.

[@Wungolioth]

Every once in a while, when Paul was asked what his favorite Beatles song was, he'd say You Know My Name. It's easy to think it was a joke, but you gotta think this is probably the last song he and John worked on together that was pure joy, and had no mixed feelings about it.

[@michaelfishman3976]

From the beginning, The Beatles considered themselves a comedy act. One of the things that they liked about George Martin was that he had experience working with Peter Sellers and other comedians. A Hard Day’s Night and Help further reinforced their image as a comedy troupe, and if you watch any interview/press conference with The Beatles, you can see how much they enjoyed comedy. You Know My Name was special to both John and Paul because they basically were forgetting about being Beatles for one moment and doing what they did best-comedy. It was basically the style used in many novelty records from back then. And although the acrimony between John and Paul was waxing at the time, when they recorded that song, they put it all behind them and just had a good time. And you can just see how much fun they were having making the sound effects, doing voices, and basically repeating “you know my name, look up the number” over and over in different ways.

It's one of my favorite middle eights by the Beatles. And there are many good ones....

[@chrismartin6370]

Thank you, Caroline.

[@michaelfishman3976]

There’s a moment in the Get Back movie where George introduces Old Brown Shoe. You would enjoy that moment a lot. George starts talking to Billy Preston about the difference between composing on a keyboard vs a guitar. Up to that point, he had solely been writing music on guitar, but Old Brown Shoe was the first time he tried writing on a piano. And he loved how a piano is laid out so you can shift chords more easily. He then starts asking Billy the names of some of the chords he came up with. An E but with a C note instead of a B (an E-augmented). Billy doesn’t tell him the name of the chords, but clearly looks amused at George’s discovery of how a piano can help you visualize chords in a more linear manner. In fact, augmented chords would be used very frequently by George during his solo career.

Abbey Road doesn’t have to be the last. All four Beatles have lengthy solo careers that are well worth exploring. I encourage you to keep on going chronologically with their solo recordings in the same way you have been going through the Beatles catalog. Also, there are two Beatles singles from the mid 90’s that were released as part of the Beatles Anthology project. They were old John Lennon demos that the 3 surviving Beatles added to to produce the first new Beatles tunes since the release of Let It Be. The two songs are “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love.”

There's also even more songs that weren't put anywhere really on the Anthology albums like "Like Dreamers Do" which they recorded in 1962 for Decca Records as an audition, which as we know they refused.

You asked what we’re drawn to and I agree that Don’t Let me Down is the best of this batch, and one of John’s greatest achievements. It really should have been on the Let it Be album. Not only does it showcase John as both a vocalist and songwriter in a deeply honest and personal mode, it’s also one of the greatest performances by the Beatles as a band. You hear all of them playing together in this track, along with Billy Preston on the keyboard: no overdubs, no orchestras or studio magic. It’s John’s song but it’s a real Beatles performance. It’s as good as anything they did in their last two years. (And it’s a good reminder to tell you to watch the rooftop concert, in which this was performed twice.) But all the songs were worth revisiting through your ears. Love your midi breakdowns! Bad Boy is a good reminder of their roots and their performative aspect. The Inner Light is another notable step on George’s journey, an enjoyable mix of instruments and genres that deserves to be better known. The Ballad of John and Yoko may lyrically be about the relationship of the title but musically it’s all about John’s relationship with Paul; it’s just the two of them playing all the instruments and having what sounds to be a great time. And that brings me to You Know My Name (Look Up the Number), which starts off as a parody of The Rolling Stones (with an actual Stone playing saxophone), and then veers off into parodies of various other genres. You’re getting a taste here of the kind of recordings they made exclusively for members of their fan club and the trait perhaps most associated with Beatles during their career: sublime goofiness. Thanks so much for this and this entire series. Looking forward to the final chapter.

The Ballad of John and Yoko is a pretty much true re-telling of a sequence of events. Yoko was a performance artist, who John fell hopelessly in love with, within the bounds of what was possible for him, given his upbringing. I love the fact that the rest of the group gave him the space, while supporting him to produce this track. These were really 'special' times and this track captures a small part of this revolution, against a backdrop of the otherwise grey, grimey, conservative, UK.

[@tannakaobi1]

Don't let me down is the greatest song ever written in my opinion. It's simple, but dripping with feeling and just comes together in a truly magical way. You still have some content. The Beatles at the BBC is legit a fine album with many a song you may not have yet listened to. It's mostly covered Rock & Roll from the 50's but in true Beatles style there are some odd balls in there too.

The melodies and sound textures are heartbreakingly beautiful. "You know my Name" is just a really fun track. If I was with friends in a studio jamming we'd just do stuff like this and laugh and have a great time. Love the different vibes they recreate here

Caroline all dressed up today in a dress......... another great reason to listen..Great personality.

The Inner Light doesn't usually spring to mind when I'm looking for Beatles tunes to play, but it should. Love that song, especially the way George's vocals mirror some of the ups and downs of the music. Sad that your Beatles journey is almost over, since I love your takes on different songs, but I've become a Caroline fan, so I'll keep watching the channel.

I loved Anoushka Shankar and her dad Ravi's band covering this in The Concert for George...with Wilbury Jeff Lynne providing the vocals. Just wonderful.

[@Arjeebee]

BTW. On Abbey Road. Most of the 2cnd side is a medley of songs which are supposed to run together. So that would start at You Never Give Me Your Money through to She Came in through the Bathroom Window. And then Golden Slumbers through to The End. Enjoy.

A great selection to show their variety. I like the visual MIDI roll aspect and the work you put in to your videos.

[@Chiroman527]

Sweet Caroline.... Looking Marvelous. Keep On Keeping On, Young Lady !! Love your passion displayed with your heart on Your Sleeve. Oh wait, You are not wearing any Sleeves. Oh yeah, You are in Summertime. "Summertime......And The Living Is Easy". Can't wait for the Abbey Road Listening. God Bless.

Old brown shoe is really great give it another listen it has a special vibe

[@DevlinDomini]

Don’t Let Me Down still holds up soooo well. Love it. Fun video!

[@larsholzke8475]

I enjoy listening to the Beatles every time I am in a Bad mood. I am getting better and better step by step

[@ChirumboloFilm]

Welp, you’re almost done. I have both been looking forward to you getting to Abbey Road and dreading this journey ending. It’a been alot of fun, which is only 10% due to the music. I’ve really enjoyed your enthusiasm, insights, and passion you’ve shared with us. Are you doing anything special for the final album? A montage of your best Beatles moments would be cool to see. Of course, whatever you do for the next video or the ones after that will be worth the wait. Oh yeah, I liked the little intro you did with the filling your water bottle and stuff! You’re doing great!

[@bobwoolerOriGinal]

We can all relax😄 She's gonna do Plastic Ono Band next. Can't wait for THAT!

[@raghuvansh1293]

What about free as a bird and real love?

[@johnallen9611]

I will second ChirumboloFilm on his comment about your enthusiasm, insights and passion. A nice summation of why I've enjoyed your journey through the music of the Beatles.

[@TheBobherriot]

BTW I think its so cool that you committed to this process and have actually (almost) completed it. Many thanks from all of us!

As others have said, what a joy it has been going through the Beatles catalogue again with the freshness of your reactions upon listening for the first time. Your comments and analysis has been a big factor of that enjoyment. I can't wait for you to listen to their last album, Abbey Road. But after "The End", where to next? I would suggest not listening to The Beatles Anthology for a while... the original Beatles' catalogue needs some time to simmer in your psyche before unleashing (as Lennon might have said) the Fabs with their trousers down! Most of us had to wait the best part of 3 decades before hearing demos & out-takes and therefore the polish of the 1962-70 releases was left intact. Even as a big fan, I only cherry pick Anthology tracks now. Maybe you could continue the aural journey with some of the early solo albums such as :- "McCartney" 1970 - a true solo album with Paul playing everything "All Things Must Pass" 1970 - Harrison has room to flourish "Plastic Ono Band" 1970 - startlingly frank Lennon "Imagine" 1971 - a more commercial signature piece "Ringo" 1973 - includes contributions from all former Beatles However, I would also love to see you react to some Beatles' visuals, such as some of their promotional films made to accompany (primarily) singles. The music was always the priority and they were never that bothered about other aspects of the business, but there are some that have more to them than just a performance in a TV studio such as:- Paperback Writer*, Rain*, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, A Day in The Life, Hello Goodbye, Hey Bulldog, Hey Jude, Revolution, Get Back, Something & Let It Be. (*Chiswick house gardens versions) There are a few songs they "gave away" that you might enjoy checking out, written by John or Paul such as :- "Bad to Me" " Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas 1963 "From a Window" Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas 1964 "It's For You" Cilla Black 1964 "A World Without Love" Peter and Gordon 1964 "Woman" Peter and Gordon 1966 "Step Inside Love" Cilla Black 1968 "Goodbye" Mary Hopkin 1969 As a nod to the person, that in my opinion is the one and only "5th Beatle", their producer George Martin, you might want to sample "Theme One" from 1967. Within it you can either hear George's influence on the Beatles, or the Beatles influence on George? Either way it's fab. There are also some of George's Beatles related instrumentals you might enjoy - A Hard Day's Night, Ringo's Theme (This Boy), Pepperland. Some of my favourite reactions of yours have been to the following: I'll Be Back, No Reply, Every Little Thing, I Feel Fine, Day Tripper, Good Day Sunshine, Got To Get You Into My Life, Strawberry Fields Forever, With A Little Help From My Friends, Goodnight. I'm sure you'll have plenty of your own ideas in continuing your Beatles journey. Have fun!

[@opheliabelleu8025]

Good fun, Caroline! Thank you.

[@doplinger1]

“You Know My Name” was released as the B-side to “Let It Be”, and I bet we listed to it more often! Love that song and it’s playfulness, I couldn’t wait to see your reaction! 😄😄

[@ROLLCOLLIN]

Old time Rock'n roll..from Larry Williams evening! Lennons vocal delivery is outstanding..! Of course!
