I Saw Her Standing There
by The Beatles

(One, two, three, four)

Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?

Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there

Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there

@Barry Morris It all depends on the nature of the humour and how it is delivered, this guy P Hamilton was clearly being insulting and disrespectful to older people in general, just to get a cheap laugh and some attention.

Barry Morris

@Geoffrey W I love older people with a good sense of humour though. If you can joke around with your elders and be a bit naughty or poke fun at them and they do it back it makes conversations with them so much more enjoyable. And they'll like you better for it.

The Beatles song, called “I Saw Her Standing There” on the flip side of “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” has just peaked at #14 in 1964. Tiffany covers the Beatles hit of “I Saw Her Standing There” as “I Saw Him Standing There”, peaking at #7 in 1988, doing better than the original, which the original version has just peaked at #14 in 1964.

The Beatles had been on ED Sullivan on a Sunday and on Monday we all went to school as usual and before classes started we were all talking in the halls about seeing the Beatles on tv, when suddenly this song came over the pa system, now in our small high school , only announcements were allowed over the pa, but that day was different,, we don't know if it was the principal or the office staff, but they played this song and it was like something out of a movie, we were all shouting and dancing in the halls. What a great memory of the Beatles !!

@Major Malfunction I just looked it up and apparently you fail at reading comprehension. " If you are aged 12-15 years old, you can legally have sex with another person who is less than 2 years older than you (as long as you both actively agree to it). Once you turn 16, you can legally have sex with another person who is also aged 16 years or older (as long as you both actively agree to it)"

The Beatles were 20 when they released this. 17 and 20. Not a big deal, quite natural in most places on planet earth.

Kyle Melones

@jophus Xakc I think the "if you know what I mean" implies that she's just old enough, of an acceptable sexual age and starting to show an active interest in men and life and the world. I never got a creepy "into super young girls" vibe from it, at least. I think it's more about the allure of blossoming youth in a non-perdatory sense

jophus Xakc

@daneel olivaw of course I don't "know" just like none of us "know" the exact intent of the lyrics. Having the age of consent 16 seems more inappropriate than what my mind comes up with. Calm down. You can put away your Beatles pom-poms, we know you're a fan

daneel olivaw

@jophus Xakc
how do you know they were talking about having sex with a minor?. I think it says more about your twisted mind than the Beatles, and the age of consent in the UK IS SIXTEEN. and it has been since the 1880s . And if you don't care about the song, why the hell are you listening to it.

jophus Xakc

@daneel olivaw I'm confused at your point. Do mature people dismiss allegations of sex with minors or do you really think I care that much about the song? The answer to both of those is no.

I remember it was around late 2011/early 2012. I went inside a CD store and I saw this Album on the 2009 remaster CD for sale at a reasonably good price. I bought it and then, when I came home, I put it into my CD Player (it was a cheap Sony Mini-System at the time).

As soon as I heard the "1, 2, 3, 4" this song felt like a punch in the face for me, I never heard such thing like that before (and such a "old" song like this, I mean it's a 1963 recording and I was 13/14 years old in 2011/2012!) and I was amazed about how fantastic and catchy it sounded.

I bought a Yamaha Receiver a few days ago, and I'm anxious to hear this in my new setup as soon as possible.

Ringo's drumming is so unique in here. On those fills it seems like he is about to stumble and end up on the wrong beat or even in between, but in the end he still manages to keep the rhythm tight. Above all Ringo makes this song so unique and fun and I think that's why I always come back to it. I love the man.

@Robin Anderson Yes Robin, it is true.

Yes, he was very underrated and was unique in as much that he was a left handed drummer who played on a right handed kit; he was also a successful session drummer before joining the Beatles and replacing Pete Best.

Ummmm, wrong. "I wrote it with John in the front parlour of my house in 20 Forthlin Road, Allerton. We sagged off school and wrote it on guitars and a little bit on the piano that I had there." Paul McCartney
The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions, Mark Lewisohn

"We were learning our skill. John would like some of my lines and not others. He liked most of what I did, but there would sometimes be a cringe line, such as, ‘She was just seventeen, she’d never been a beauty queen.’ John thought, ‘Beauty queen? Ugh.’ We were thinking of Butlin’s so we asked ourselves, what should it be? We came up with, ‘You know what I mean.’ Which was good, because you don’t know what I mean. " Paul McCartney Anthology

I thought he had lost his mind, 'Beetles from England'., but then he explained they were a singing group, spelled Beatles..........He said KYA in San Francisco was just gonna play their song.........The next second, I heard , 1 2 3 4 "She was just seventeen. You know what I mean".. And I new then something Big was happening. Somehow you just felt it.

@ZONO2040 lemme show you high:

She looks as an African Queen
She eating twelve chapattis and cream
She tastes as Mongolian lamb
She coming from out of Bahran
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

She like to be married with Yetti
He groving such cooky spaghoetti
She jumping as Mexican bean
To make that her body morphine
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

She catch Patagonian pancake
With that one and gin party makes
She having always good contact
She making with apple and contract
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party

I still remember when Scott Thomas sang the opening lyrics to this song to me at the Mitre Tavern in Collins Street Melbourne back in 1994. This song has never meant as much to me as then.

George Harrison was always my favorite Beatle. He was The Cute Beatle as far as I was concerned. What a beautiful spirit he had!
I miss him still... but now there is Dahni Harrison..

Think of the billions of people who have jammed the Beatles over the last 50 years, this is just the tip of the Ice berg for Beatles songs...unfortunately, there will never ever ever be a band that will come along like this within this generation or the next, what amazes me more about them is that there all from the same city and all have incredible vocals, such a tremendous rarity, close to 10 years together and they secured legendary status and released over 12 albums...what a feat...My dad used to tell me that these guys would do 3-4 shows a night in there early days in the UK and around Europe, just incredible, imagine the day when the last Beatle is laid to rest, the world will come to a halt of silence for these beautiful and talented individuals, it's our duty as the younger generation to insure that these guys music will live on to never be forgotten, god bless The Beatles.

Always loved this song and still do today even more. Love the hand claps (so often used in their early recordings), the very active and moving bass line, and the seventh chords. Perfection!

The performance by all members of the group was excellent, especially for the time. Consider John's vocal contributions despite suffering with a heavy cold which you can sometimes hear coming through. I love Ringo's urging George to "Go George go" on Boys which is one of Ringo's best Beatles vocals. Paul's great bass playing and the John/Paul self penned great songs. This album perhaps more than any other hints at their live performances that excited listeners at every venue they played.

The UNCRC defines children, for the purposes of the Convention, as persons under the age 18, unless domestic legislation provides otherwise. In that spirit, this timeline includes as children all those below the UK age of majority, which was 21 until 1970 when it was reduced to 18. This was then later changed to 16 in 2003, so yes, by law it would be considered statutory rape.

As far as I know the song is about 'dancing through the night' which is, believe it or not, as far as many 17-year-olds did go in 1963. So this whole discussion about age of consent looks like dirty minds feigning puritanic indignance.

Even the age of 10 in 1964 I knew the Beatles were absolutely amazing - along with zillions of other kids / teens. They really did sound excitingly different, and powerful. If you didn't experience it at the time, that energy won't ever be understood.

Imagine if you will. You're a youth in 1963 Great Britain. You liked the first 2 Beatles singles so you bought this album and you put the needle at the beginning of Side One and hear this. You figure "Man these guys are good".

Pardon the heresy, but I remember hearing this covered by Elton John in the 70s, and it was also pretty darned great. (I wasn't a huge Elton fan, but he could rock out when he wanted to.)
