Originally the b-side to The Shirelles' big hit Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.
Specifically used as “the drummer song”, it was part of The Beatles' live act from its release in 1961, and stayed an integral part of their set until 1964, when its role was usurped by their cover of Act Naturally.
It was included on Please Please Me as track five, side one.
