Harmonies

I actually can hear Paul in the lower harmonies during the verses. And he's very clear in the high harmonies during the chorus Portel (talk) 23:17, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

As for me, I can clearly hear George and John's voices in the verses, and John and Paul's in the chorus. Airtights (talk) 11:47, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Writer/Singer

This is the only time McCartney, in his book 'Many Years From Now', makes an obvious error of judgement/recollection. His claim to being 20% responsible for the writing of it, may not be all wrong -- it would, after all, still be considered much more of a Lennon song than a McCartney song; but the huge error is that he actually claims that they wrote it as a country and western for Ringo(to sing). He even says that Ringo did a good job on it. The problem is, of course, that it WAS John who did the lead vocals. Could there be a bit of a mix-up there, Paul?

I'm not saying that Ringo DIDN'T do a good job on it -- but if we're suggesting that he DID, it would necessarily have to be his drumming that we(and Paul) would have to be praising. --84.208.224.234 (talk) 06:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

The claim that Paul sings the lower harmony is erroneous. It is clearly John singing both parts during the verse (double tracked) with Paul joining in on the higher harmony on the chorus. John harmonized with himself on multiple occasions before and after this song, it is not a rarity. I am going to delete this claim of Paul singing the lower part. 76.114.164.91 (talk) 00:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

To my ears it sounds as if Paul sings the high LEAD during the middle eight. Whenever I try to sing/whistle this song, I always end up choosing Paul`s melody rather than John`s.--192.153.194.200 (talk) 01:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

My guess is that Paul was erroneously thinking about the song "What Goes On." Jjm905 (talk) 04:48, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
