Admit it. Before you got obsessed with researching the Beatles, it's likely you thought I Feel Fine was at LEAST a 50-50 John/Paul song, if not a Paul penned, John lead vocal song.
It's all John. Feedback and all.
Agree? Dis-agree? Other nominations?

That's interesting...I never thought it was a Paul song...ever. I did alway think that that was a George guitar lick though. I wonder if there is a demo of this tune somewhere. The feedback I always thought was just vibration of the string against the guitar pick...I can make that sound by doing that. In any case, it is a great pop single......John was on a roll at this point in the Beatles. He could have farted a no 1 hit. ;)

It's hard to argue this point, PBW, as "I Feel Fine" is almost never mentioned as one of the 'greats' of the Beatles canon...one could have made the case for "Rain", a fine tune that could easily been an A-side.

I, too, LOVE "Rain!" 2/3 It's John's acoustic Gibson with the first feedback recorded. It was leaning on an amp, started to hum and buzz and they instantly requested George Martin get it down on vinyl.  |

True Eddie...considering it was a hit twice...once by the Beatles, and later on when the Monkee's renamed it Pleasant Valley Sunday.  |

No, I never thought Paul wrote it. I did think Paul was singing "Eight Days a Week" and was surprised to learn he's not singing at all on it-
