Under The Covers: Other Artists Covering Beatles Songs: ‘You Can’t Do That’- The B-side of The Beatles #1 hit “Can’t Buy Me Love”- ‘You Can’t Do That’ and a few months later on the album A Hard Day’s Night. A Lennon-McCartney song-this is a great cover by Harry Nilsson. The Beatles once famously named Nilsson as their favorite American group- and Nilsson himself was crazy about The Beatles. Here on Pandemonum Shadow Show” is his memorable remake of a minor Beatles song- “You Can’t Do That.” What a great voice Harry Nilsson had.
I love the other song flourishes he puts in there.
I was coming here to say the opposite, that I really dislike all those song interpolations. Oh well!
LOL Of course The Beatles original is the best.
I’m with Lisa here. Really clever how he worked in the titles of other Beatles tunes.
