You can really tell when they sing "tell me why", because the T is split.
Like "Michelle," "It Won't Be Long" and "Back in the USSR," great songs which also never charted, this tune is definitely infectious and yes, very underrated indeed. My former fave was "All My Lovin,'" which amazingly also failed to reach the Top 40 both times it was released.
And as David from CA pointed out the song swings as well as rocks which makes this song so cool. The fact that Lennon "just knocked it off" is a testament to how truly great the band was. Steven from Lancaster, Pa.Tell Me Why is definitely a very underrated Beatles song.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Publisher: BMG Rights Management, Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd., Songtrust Ave, Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC, Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Chappell Music, Inc.
