The Beatles - Hello Little Girl

[flytierman07]

I,m 67 and only regret I never got to see them live. My lucky wife being english saw them live at Finsbury Park, North London in 1966-she also got their autographs which she won,t sell at any price!

[sebanti1963]

I'm 14 and I think the Beatles were(and still are) the most talented musicians and I love them<3

[XxJessxXnallxX]

He wrote this song, when his mother died i think >.>

[tyty97100]

R.I.P. John <3

[IMattchewB]

No drums.

[tahmalfoy]

*-*

[MrArtreco]

Aren't they The Quarrymen??

[LonlyHeartsClubBand]

Its not a bad song for John to write. Pretty talented for his first song.

[dorji388]

son-mom i want to kill 5 people

mom-why should you?

son-because five people dislikes the Beatles

mom-go get my gun..



[ImKissingJohnLennon]

@dorji388 If John would've read this comment he wouldv'e diagreed. Even if you might be playing around, respect others' opinions kid. Don't kill people because they have horrible taste in music. Glad you understand.

PEACE ;)

[Hayleysmarty]

THIS IS NOT THE BEATLES

[lees2oo8]

@Hayleysmarty it's the silver beatles, basically the beatles with pete and stuart and minus ringo... i believe.

[viceisthename]

@Hayleysmarty OF COURSE IT'S THE BEATLES >:(

[TheHtter]

it's pete o.O\

[michellemarvin0]

pete best i love you best x

[BenjaminHesketh]

@suuz1996 actually its a well known fact of most musicians that Pete Best was a far better drummer than Ringo technically he was replaced because he didn't keep strict time and that's no good for recording but he was still technically a good drummer.. Ringo star is not a fantastic drummer he could just play in time.

[outofthegreenmist]

@BenjaminHesketh I don't follow your logic: Pete, who (you claim) couldn't keep time was a better drummer than Ringo, who (you claim) could keep time? What is your definition of a good drummer - one who can't keep time? OK!

[isabelintheskywith]

this is amazing really there are not many bands these day who are nearly as good

[kate3471]

not the best but they were progressing:)<3

[LoveBeatlesPeace]

Is the guy at 1:33 Pete?

[meatloaf928]

[Grumburble]

The influence of Buddy Holly on this arrangement is obvious.

so classic.. :)

[akikowolf]

Makes me think of Vampire Weekend. I wonder if they've heard The Silver Beatles stuffs. I think that Vampire Weekend got most of their influence from African stuffs.

[TheMissMod]

@JohnnyValliant BUT it was made famous by The Fourmost in 1963.

[SHEMEANzEVRyTHANG2ME]

man i wish i went back in time and brought a HD camera and captured them singing on the camera

[Daytripperify]

[CoIeStones]

@hawk1967able You know its wrote not write

[ITzMeRkZz]

@JohnnyValliant this isnt the original version of this song go to another video the beatles sing it faster than this.

[breizhaganbrav]

Thanks for pete and stuart!

[loroncio]

@JohnnyValliant huy sos un pancho Juancito andá a escuchar a los pacemakers

[WiltatKansas]

I just don't think any beatle was better than other beatle, i just think they played different rols, Paul was the big brother, John was the singer-songwriter and George was the man alone. Paul and John complemented each other because they were the 2 faces of the same coin.

[RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2]

@WiltatKansas what about Ringo? his drumming was often underrated. i think that he is a good drummer b/c not only does he keep good time, but he can also drum to fit the styles of the rest of the Beatles.

[WiltatKansas]

@RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2 Ringo is actually considered a bad drummer just because he was not the most gifted drummer of all time and becuase he only wrote like around 2 songs and that compared to John Lennon, Paul McCarteny and George Harrison makes him look like an idiot (which he was not).

[RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2]

@WiltatKansas yeah, i hate that cause he was a good drummer.

[slimshine953]

@WiltatKansas I think Ringo was a gifted drummer... he had the gift of performing with The Beatles! It doesn't get any better than that, on nearly every level. How could he be bad drummer? It's absurd. He wasn't playing behind a Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or whoever. The majority of Beatles' songs didn't call for such a style. He was deft and creative in his approach to the arrangements. The truth is, that his peers, insiders and many top drawer rock drummers consider him to be first rate.

[slimshine953]

@WiltatKansas Anyway, I'm glad that you're among us who know Ringo was a great drummer. As for his two or three songwriting contributions with The Beatles, Ringo himself admitted that it wasn't his forte... although he went on to write many more of his own during his successful post Beatles solo career.

[slimshine953]

@RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2 I agree, Ringo's drumming was often under rated, but I've never understood why. Obviously John, Paul & George knew he was good. He was considered the best in Liverpool in '62 and several groups other than The Beatles wanted him. When I listen closely to what he was playing on all those songs, I'm impressed with how skillful he was. You're correct... he played in service to the songs.

[ringoluvsthebeatles]

@B3NHilton.... The first song john ever wrote was hello little girl

[Marshallsg]

Is this the home demo John and Paul did or?

[westfield90]

Great pictures. I love this song particuarly after the movie NowhereBoy which is one damn great movie

[daixxxy]

I might be only 18, but I seriously think the Beatles were, are, and will forever be the greatest band.

[MrLuvTheBeatles]

@daixxxy Well, yeah!

[beatlefreak59]

@daixxxy Im 14 And i belive they are.

[beatlesrock771]

@daixxxy, i definalty think you are totally right.

[rache94rock]

@daixxxy

John wrote this song when he was 18. Just something to think about :)

[djsammy2132]

@rache94rock i already knew that!

[RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2]

this is the first time ive heard this, and its very catchy!!

[IMattchewB]

What a good, fine tune from them youngsters, and that this is the first time I've heard it? Wow.

[lolcattify]

Isn't this the first song that John Lennon ever wrote?

[chalyminx]

fourmost is the best version

[snoogans999]

for those comments before me, if The Beatles had proper studio time, those songs would have been number 1s if they released them.

[Free411]

@mzainm786 oh okay(:

[k0stil]

@JohnnyValliant

when i heard pacemakers` version , i didn`t know that this song is by the beatles ,but i thought that it`s the beatles and it`s even the beatles performing this song

[michuvede]

It is the first song ever written by John Lennon

[shawteegrl]

I love teh beatles :D

[eddiehead64]

far superior to the cheezy Decca Tapes version.

[noodles1573]

beatles are the best group ever

[jemen19762007]

Meh. The Beatles stuff is better.

[snoogans999]

@jemen19762007 this is The Beatles

[Sarahfreckle]

So sad about Stu Sutcliffe.

[jaykuecon]

Awesome! Love it, really. I'm a Beatles #1 fan!!

[TheNearEnding]

Awesome song. I'm a Beatles FANATIC but I still would say that Fourmost did a more popular version of this song :)

[jdawg6608]

This is the first song Lennon ever wrote. Too bad ringo didnt join till two years after this.

[jewelrox]

Whenever i listen to this my brother calls it the paedophile song...

[MusicIan423]

something's obviously on his mind haha I just like petite females

[jmanmoonwalk4]

I have the Cd where that song is on. I agree they do a great version of it.

As for 'How do you do it' I Like The Beatles Demo version. But Gerry and The Pacemakers just did it with so much energy.

[Free411]

wasnt this the first song they recorded or something?

[jmanmoonwalk4]

No. This was Done around 1960. They recorded 'That'll be the Day' and 'In spite of all the Danger' in 1958. I think that was their first recording. It's on the Anthololgy 1 CD.

[B3NHilton]

@jmanmoonwalk4 ...but it was the first song that john lennon ever wrote.

[RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2]

@jmanmoonwalk4 yeah, that is their first. youre right.

[britaminaz]

@jmanmoonwalk4 This song was actually penned by John Lennon in 1957 and released by the Foursome in 1962. The Foursome was another group managed by Brian Epstein at the time. The song charted at #9, I think.

[cesarmanuel51]

@jmanmoonwalk4 but it was the first song lennon wrote right

[jmanmoonwalk4]

@cesarmanuel51 Honestly i don't know, What I meant when I said this done in 1960 was they recorded this in 1960, when he actually wrote the song I don't know. This might be the earlies song that he wrote that's been recorded in one form or another. But I doubt it's the first song he's ever written, but who knows.

[Darylvb]

@jmanmoonwalk4 This was the first song Lennon ever wrote.  Written in 1957.

[cesarmanuel51]

@jmanmoonwalk4 it is the first song Lennon wrote

[viceisthename]

@cesarmanuel51 Yes it was, he wrote it when he was 15.

[spikebythesea]

I think that this is supposed to be the first song that John Lennon wrote. :)

[OropherThranduil]

@Free411

It's the first Song John lennon ever wrote.

Pauls first ever was I Lost my little Gril.

[iplaymusic369]

@Free411 no but this was the first song lennon wrote

[fab186]

@Free411 @Free411 yes, it was the first song lennon wrote. That'll Be the Day and in Spite of all the Danger where the songs they recorded at DECCA to try to land them a record deal, but it failed. They tried many record companies until they got a deal with EMI, I believe.

In spite of all the danger was the first original song by the Beatles, and it was written by Paul McCartney and George Harrison.

I do believe that they actually did play this particular version of Hello Little Girl at DECCA.

[mishypoo]

Oh, okay. Pete Best. Thank you.

[mishypoo]

Whoa, who is that in the last photo? (1:53)

[jmanmoonwalk4]

Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Pete Best and George Harrison.

[Jvaughan777spider]

@mishypoo are you talking about Pete Best? he's the original drummer for The Beatles

[ureatinghabits]

@mishypoo pete best, when he left ringo replaced him

[suuz1996]

@ureatinghabits Actually, they made him leave. If the Beatles wanted to get signed, it would be under the condition to replace Pete Best with a better drummer, which, obviously, became Ringo.

[outofthegreenmist]

@suuz1996 I think there were other reasons. As I understand it, George Martin (and, therefore, EMI) was happy for Pete to stay as long as session drummers were used on the records. He had no objection to Pete remaining a Beatle for live performances. Why should he? That would have been none of his business. It was not unknown for session musicians to step in on recordings of other groups at the time. The Monkees were not unique - just the most notorious.

[angel24297]

@mishypoo from left to right: Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Pete Best and George Harrison

@mishypoo
