Talk:Can't Buy Me Love

Scream before the solo!

Does anyone else think this article should mention ?Paul McCartney's high-pitched shriek before George Harrison's solo? The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 16:19, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello??!! Hello??!! Is there anybody in there??!! I posted this query three months ago... --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 16:40, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, sadly I’m always here. Just given it a listen, but I can’t hear anything extra special about it. Is there something that should be mentioned then?--Patthedog (talk) 18:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

It's more about warning potential listeners than anything else - after all, this would be pretty high on my list of the most blood-curdling screams of all time. By the time you read this I'll already have got it into the article. --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! (talk) 15:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

TWO!? versions?

This article doesn't differentiate between the Hard days night album version and the more common radio version. Does anyone have any info on the difference; the only thing i know is the hard days night version is in D rather C —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.25.45 (talk) 12:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

The radio version is the actual single which is detailed in the article. I can’t find any reference to a different mix or edit used for the film soundtrack. Also, I’m not aware of any (Beatles) version of it in D.--Patthedog (talk) 17:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Heres the version in D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU8s35o-J5k

slightly different overall composition, sounds more "beatlesy" in my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.175.25.45 (talk) 12:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Interesting! This is one of the earlier takes from the Pathe Marconi sessions by the sound of the harmonies. Mark Lewisohn describes them as such in his "The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions". They’d dropped this treatment by take four in favour of the recognisable version we all know. So this is an out-take and it wasn’t used in the film . I wasn’t aware it was in a higher key though, unless it has been speeded up (although it doesn’t sound speeded up - sounds like McCartney is having to strain a bit!). Thanks for that.--Patthedog (talk) 15:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Paul McCartney cover version?

If he wrote the song, it doesn't make much sense to call his live solo version a cover. I mean, technically, it is a Beatles song but come on... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.218.238.39 (talk) 16:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

"Somebody Love"

Many people mistake the title of this song and refer to it as "Somebody Love". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.58.66.194 (talk) 13:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Name one (besides yourself). ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:58, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Categorization

• Just a quick question...Bossanoven reverted my category addition with the edit summary:

“ We only retain the original version for year in categories. ”

Is there a guideline or consensus for that? Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 00:49, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
