She Loves You, yeah yeah yeah!
The wiki article notes "The electric instruments are mixed higher than before, especially McCartney's bass, adding to the sense of musical power that the record provides." Their 2nd biggest Beatlemania hit, it became a favorite of mine. The Beatles were famous for singing "yeah yeah yeah" ("the yeah yeahs"), but this was the main song they sang it on. And the woooos were charismatic too. It was their biggest hit in the UK. Their biggest hit overall, though, was the biggest of the decade, their breakout American hit (She Loves You was their 3rd #1 in Britain)-- I Want to Hold Your Hand. Their performance on the Ed Sullivan show broke ratings records and helped this song stay #1 for 7 weeks.

It's powerful, uplifting melody that swept the young boomer girls away was matched and well-surpassed in my opinion by the B side to "Do You Want to Know A Secret," and was entitled "Thank You Girl."
But where's John's harmonica? It was added later:

I had my Beatlemania experience 6 months to a year or so after the bulk of my generation. But that's par for my course! Like my experience of the guy in my siggie.
