The Beatles - Thank You Girl (Copyright 1963 EMI Records) "Thank You Girl" is a song by The Beatles and released as the B-side of "From Me to You", which was recorded on the same day (5 March 1963). It wasn't on a British Beatles album, but was featured as the second track on The Beatles' Second Album in the US. As the B-side to "Do You Want to Know a Secret?", it hit #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the spring of 1964. Originally titled "Thank You, Little Girl", John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote the song as a tribute to the band's many female fans. McCartney said, "We knew that if we wrote a song called, 'Thank You Girl' that a lot of the girls who wrote us fan letters would take it as a genuine thank you. So a lot of our songs were directly addressed to the fans. The song was recorded in thirteen takes, the same number of takes needed to perfect "From Me To You." This recording session is also notable because it marks the first studio appearances of two Lennon/McCartney songs that would not be released until much later in the band's career: "One After 909" from Let It Be, and "What Goes On" from Rubber Soul. Although both songs were rehearsed, only "One After 909" was recorded, and even then the results were deemed unsatisfactory for release. The original stereo mix of the song is noticeably different to the mono mix (which is the mix used on Past Masters, Volume One - the 1988 CD, the 2009 remaster will use a stereo mix) in the middle 8, where a couple of extra harmonica lines can be heard, as well as at the very end of the song with echo added. After all, it is this unique stereo mix that was included in "The Beatles' Second Album", and is also in the 2004 boxed set "The Capitol Albums, Vol. 1". In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song!
