The Beatles Song Of The Day is “Eight Days A Week.” “Eight Days A Week” was on The Beatles “Beatles For Sale” album. It was a number one hit single in the United States in February 1965. Paul and John wrote “Eight Days A Week” together with Paul writing the majority of it. The idea for the title came from a substitute chauffeur who was taking Paul to John’s house.

Always liked the intro to that song, which was one of the first Beatles tunes I learned how to play with the guitar.

Perhaps not surprisingly, I’m very fond of the song.
great story- and memory you have of that song. One of my favorite songs too.
It was really my guitar teacher, who introduced me more broadly to The Beatles. He was also a bassist and taught me the basics for that instrument as well. Without him I likely wouldn’t have ended up playing in a band in my early 20s. I’m very grateful for all of that and wish I could tell him. Unfortunately, I completely lost touch and don’t know his whereabouts.
