I Feel Fine
The Beatles Lyrics
Baby's good to me, you know
She's happy as can be, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
Baby says she's mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
She's so glad, she's telling all the world
That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mm
Baby says she's mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I'm so glad that she's my little girl
She's so glad, she's telling all the world
That her baby buys her things, you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mm, mm

"I Feel Fine" is a riff-driven rock song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and released in 1964 by The Beatles as the A-side of their eighth British single. The song is notable for the first use of guitar feedback on record.
The single reached the top of the British charts on 12 December of that year, displacing The Rolling Stones' "Little Red Rooster", and remained there for five weeks. It also reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1964. The B-side was "She's a Woman".

"I Feel Fine" was the first of six number one songs in a row on the American charts for the Beatles, a record at the time. The subsequent singles were "Eight Days a Week", "Ticket to Ride", "Help!", "Yesterday" and "We Can Work It Out". The record was equalled by The Bee Gees in 1979 and surpassed by Whitney Houston in 1988.
It was also the first Beatles single to be released almost concurrently in the US and the UK.
Lennon wrote the guitar riff while in the studio recording "Eight Days a Week". "I wrote 'I Feel Fine' around that riff going on in the background", he recalled. "I told them I'd write a song specially for the riff. So they said, 'Yes. You go away and do that', knowing that we'd almost finished the album Beatles for Sale. Anyway, going into the studio one morning, I said to Ringo, 'I've written this song but it's lousy'. But we tried it, complete with riff, and it sounded like an A side, so we decided to release it just like that."
Lennon loved technology, and when the feedback was coincidentally recorded during the I Feel Fine session, liked the sound of it and placed it at the beginning of the song. John Lennon said that the riff was influenced by a riff in "Watch Your Step", a 1961 release written and performed by Bobby Parker and covered by the Beatles in concerts during 1961 and 1962. Paul McCartney said the drums on "I Feel Fine" were inspired by Ray Charles's "What'd I Say".
At the time of the song's recording, the Beatles, having mastered the studio basics, had begun to explore new sources of inspiration in noises previously eliminated as mistakes (such as electronic goofs, twisted tapes, and talkback). "I Feel Fine" marks the earliest example of the use of feedback as a recording effect. Artists such as The Kinks and The Who had already used feedback live, but Lennon remained proud of the fact that the Beatles were the first group to actually put it on vinyl.

That riff, tho. One of George's greatest moments. And the middle 8, too. That guy could PLAY!
Lennon is spot-on with his delivery; he can pitch/adjust/shift his timbre and weave an aural tapestry. Incredible vocalist. C'mon...Twist and Shout...in ONE take? NOBODY does that.
I believe there are ~210 Beatles songs ever recorded...I never, EVER heard bad drumming on one of them. Ringo is solidly in the pocket. What do you expect from near-perfect tempo?
Paul. Impish by appearance and antics, but a perfectionist in the studio. Definitely shines here.
~~~and they all make it look so damn EASY!!!~~~

El cuarteto de los
Beatles marco' una
Epoca , dejo' un camino de armonías melodías
Cantos que todavía palpitan y
Que en este 2022
Se puede percibir
Todavía su aroma
Dulce de acople
Y de buen gusto
Para el oído del
Planeta tierra....
Gracias Beatles
Muchas gracias
ENDICIONES....
EN EL OTRO LADO
O EN CIELO.....

Besides the screwing around in the videos, I recall hearing that he would try all kinds of alternative ways of making drum sounds in the studio, so this is kind of based in reality.
