4 Beatles Songs That the Fab Four Famously Hated
When you’re part of the biggest rock band of the 20th century, it’s pretty easy to get sick of at least a few of your biggest songs. For most of the members of The Beatles, quite a few songs in their discography were worthy of being hated from the get-go. Let’s take a look at just a few songs that The Beatles produced and famously hated!
The Meaning Behind the WEIRDEST Beatles Song, “I Am The Walrus”
1. “Birthday”
Paul McCartney was inspired to pen this classic rock track after watching the 1956 film The Girl Can’t Help It. “Birthday” ended up making it to the third side of The Beatles’ White Album. McCartney, interestingly enough, spoke fondly of the song in later years. John Lennon, however, was not a fan of the song at all.
“‘Birthday’ was written in the studio,” said Lennon. “[…] I think Paul wanted to write a song like ‘Happy Birthday Baby’, the old ’50s hit. But it was sort of made up in the studio. It was a piece of garbage.”
2. “Little Child”
The Beatles hated mostly their throwaway songs, but this one was more neglected and unrespected than hated. And sadly for Ringo Starr, quite a few songs that McCartney and Lennon didn’t want to use themselves went straight to their drummer. Not everyone can be a multi-level threat, after all. Starr was a great drummer, but his singing ability was limited. “Little Child” ended up featuring the vocals of Lennon and McCartney, but it was originally given to Starr for the album With The Beatles.
