What You’re Doing */The Beatles ’ Full Instrumental

A severely underrated Beatles tune. One of dozens of Beatle album tracks that could’ve been a hit single. I LOVE this song. Something about it brings tremendous joy. The chiming Rickenbacker, Paul’s motown-esque melody and thundering bass chords, Ringo’s rat-a-tat drumming. Not a single song didn’t get 1500% effort in 1964. Also, doesn’t that riff sound remarkably like The Byrds’ cover of “Mr. Tambourine Man“? When anyone tries to underemphasize the influence of The Beatles, let this be another example. They basically invented folk rock.
