"Devil in Her Heart"

"Devil in Her Heart" (or "Devil in His Heart") is a song written by Richard P. Drapkin, who recorded under the name Ricky Dee.

Recordings

The song was originally recorded as "Devil in His Heart" in Detroit by The Donays for Correc-tone Records. The Donays only made one recording, but their lead singer, Yvonne Allen, recorded solo, and later joined The Elgins at Motown. The song was later picked up by the New York City label Brent and was re-released in August, 1962, as "(There's A) Devil In His Heart" (on Brent 7033, with the B-side "Bad Boy"). This pairing also appeared in the United Kingdom on the Oriole label (Oriole CBA 1770) in 1962. The record was not a hit on either side of the Atlantic.

The song was then performed as "Devil in Her Heart" by The Beatles on stage during 1962 and 1963, with George Harrison on lead vocals. It was recorded and issued on their second LP, With the Beatles in November 1963. The recording was completed in three takes, plus overdubs.

Chris Thomas on "Piggies" and "Something"

"We were doing George's song 'Piggies,' and I was wandering around the studio looking for any weird instruments hanging around from a classical session. Sometimes you'd find old things and you'd use them on the record. You might get an idea for it. I saw the harpsichord, which was actually set up in number one, the big classical studio. I said, 'Why don't we use the harpsichord?' So we went into number one and started playing around on it and George actually played me 'Something' that night. I said, 'That's great! We should be working on that.' He said, 'Do you really think it's good?' I said, 'Yeah.' Then he said, 'Well, maybe I'll give it to Jackie Lomax.' I really wanted us to do 'Something' that night but, of course, it was left for about a year or so until the next album. We did 'Piggies' instead."

Ooo - ooo.
Let's all get up and dance to a song

Your mother should know - aah.

Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know - aah.

Lift up your hearts and sing me a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know - aah.
Your mother should know (your mother should)
Your mother should know - aah.

Sing it again.
