I think it's meaningless to compare the two versions. This one stands on its own. If you prefer Little Richard to Paul or vice versa, it's just a question of taste. Some people regard their personal taste as absolute truth. It's only their ego.
and before the Beatles we had synchronised dancing from Cliff Richard and the Shadows, with Little Richard and his orchestra doing likewise; and then we had Perry Como, Pat Boone, Connie Francis, Doris Day ('che sara sara' etc.), Frankie Avalon etc. all without an iota of spontaneity or sincerity among them: you don't compare McCartney's straight-from-the-guts "Long Tall Sally" with Little Richard's squeaky clean manicured original version, mother
those of us who were still at the original Cavern in '64 will remember that this - not their commercial crap which today's arty-farties 'analyze and explain' - is what really made the Beatles: if you were not there you don't know, mother
GREAT GREAT GREAT ....THE STUPID 5 persons who dont like this exellant gooood real honnest rock sound go and listen justin stupid bieber and lady stupid gaga or nowadays STUPID violant rap.....thanks for this superbe song .....RAFFI
Why did you want to view it in the first place ? Maybe curiosity, I don't know.
Maybe curiosity made the other 11.000 people watch it in the first place.
And I also wouldn't be that harsh with that "awful" term. Different is not the same thing with awful. Yes, I agree, Little Richard's voice and style are unique and cannot be imitated, but The Beatles did a pretty good job - one of their finest twist/rock n roll pieces (covers or not).
@HiroMMM2 Why does anyone want to view a video or song on utube? Surely that's the whole point of Utube: we make assessments based on our likes or dislikes. I stated my opinion and you've stated yours. Different and awful are not synonymous. In my humble opinion this song only 'sounds right' when performed by Little Richard. For me this rendition is a cacophonous blast of pure drivel.You're free to disagree of course.
@srednaslenoloc Should I even reply to a first class A Hole like yourself? Are you a child to come out with such a statement or are you in fact 29 as your profile states? If so you're probably a fudge packer. Enjoy your pudding Sir!
It's a totall personal opinion about which is better Little Richards version or The Beatles. Theres no right answer it's about which one YOU like. It's like having an argument about which place has better hamburgers.
There is an entire philosophy behind the structure "no offense, but...".
And where are you wrong ?
You see, there's a big difference between what you think (believe) and what's real. The Beatles' cover is not, as you call it "crap", it is one of their best twist/rock n roll songs. It is not as good as Little Richard's, but you cannot call it "crap", just because it is not as good as the original.

@priv8cinemon I like the Beatles as much as the next guy but what you say is true. Man this is bad! Do they do a version of James Brown's The Payback? Some things are just not done. They should have just held hands instead of playing this song. I would rather have watched them play monopoly. They could have talked about current events. This was probably a joke. It can't be real. Very funny. They got us good!
I don't think it's fair to say that one version is better than the other. Everyone has different opinions and different likes. While i find the original to be amazing, i prefer listening to this version. I guess Little Richard's vocals are way stronger, but i find this to be nicer to listen to, for some reason. It just appeals to me more. However, i think both versions are great in their own seperate ways.
Agree with rosekill the beatles are great but no one can do this song like little Richard... But I wonder how it would sound if Rick james did it :D....
Man, as a jazz fan I agree with you that most of good musicians are black, but there is also great white jazzmen (Benny Goodman, Chet Baker...). But I totally agree with you that most of the best ones are black.
But music is not a matter of skin color, it's a matter of work.
White boys got soul!!!! I love the beatles!!!!

"Well Long Tall Sally
She pretty sweet
She got everything that Uncle John need
Baby, yeah now baby
Woo baby, some fun tonight"
?? Am I crazy or is this verse missing in the song? :/

This one's great for dancing
Elvis's version's good for sound
and Richard's version is good for both.
Doesn't matter which is better cause they're all equally good in my opinion :D

I would be greatly satisfied if you there will not be posted comparisons with the original version of the song.
Try to focus on the song itself.

Sorry to tell you, but, with the risk of sounding a little racist, Little Richard was black. No other people can do twists as good as black people
No insult to the black community.
The same applies in jazz music, too.
