@oceansdaughter

actually, that is not true

Paul was in the Algarve (Portugal) on holiday, and he went to this hotel, Penina, and there was a band playing, Jotta Herre. Paul performed with them and wrote this song. Later, the group recorded it but they weren'r much famous, so the publisher asked Carlos Mendes to record it.

I wish the beatles would have recored all of these songs their selves I think they would sound much better

@oceansdaughter That`s not true. Mendes speaks good English and he didn´t ask Paul for a song.@oceansdaughter is right. That´s the story, correctelly. I´m Portuguese and musician. I know what happenend.

@oceansdaughter If you hear the record you'll hear "beat the drums" not "feed me drugs"
