Description

In this episode, Peter and Kenyon explore "Tip of My Tongue," a song written by Paul McCartney in 1962 but never released by the Beatles. Instead, it was given to Tommy Quickly, a Liverpool singer under Brian Epstein’s management. The hosts discuss how this track stands out due to its quirky melody and unusual chord changes, which make it feel distinctly different from other early Beatles songs. They analyze why producer George Martin wasn’t fond of it and refused to record it with the Beatles, leading to its eventual recording by Quickly. Despite having the Lennon-McCartney credit, the song struggled commercially, never making it onto the charts. Peter and Kenyon explore what makes this song intriguing yet challenging, discussing its place in Beatles history as a rare misfire during a time when the band’s other compositions were skyrocketing to success.
