COMMENTS BY BEATLES
LENNON: "I wrote that for A Hard Day's Night, but Dick Lester didn't even want it. He resurrected 'Can't Buy Me Love' for that sequence instead. I like the middle-eight to that song, though." September 1980, All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono
LENNON: "We were going to do this in A Hard Day's Night but the director Dick Lester didn't like it, so we put it on the flip side of the album. I like it." Beatles in Their Own Words
LENNON: "We were going to do this in the A Hard Day's Night film, but the director Dick Lester didn't like it, so we put it on the flip side of the album. I like the middle eight of that song." The Beatles Off the Record: Outrageous Opinions & Unrehearsed Interviews
