This song blows me away every single time I listen to it. One of the few times a Beatles cover has really blown away the original.

    Me and my friend wanted to do this song for our graduation ceremony - the Joe Cocker version. But everyone else in the choir/band wanted to do the Beatles' version - which just wouldn't work with a choir. We ended up dropping it completely.

    Luckily, me and the friend managed to get Queen's Don't Stop Me Now instead.:p
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    I agree. There is just so much feeling in his version. :)

    Agreed. It was also the theme song for my favorite shows in the entire world. Hello wonder years fans. :D

    He's either just been here or is just about to tour here Pat because I was thinking I'd like to go. It was one of those Day On The Green things I think, or maybe the Blues and Roots Festival.
    I'll do a little investigating so I sound like I know what I'm talking about! ;)

    And I LOVE Joe's version of this song and completely agree that it's better than the Beatles original. :)

    edit: Bugger me! :D I was correct!! :)

    I saw him on a blues tour maybe back in 1995. It was him, Buddy Guy's band and some other bands that played. All for five dollars. I still have the t-shirt somewhere. lol
