Fair use rationale for Drive My Car
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * It illustrates an educational article specifically about the song from which this sample was taken.
 * It is a sample of less than 30 seconds and no more than 10% of the original recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording.
 * It is of a lower quality than the commercially available digital versions of the original recording.
 * It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * This sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.

The use of the excerpt is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the article "Drive My Car" without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.

Fair use rationale for Rubber Soul
This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:
 * The song is the opening track of the Beatles' Rubber Soul album. A key theme of the article is that the Beatles drew inspiration from the soul music of contemporary artists signed to the Motown and Stax record labels. In the case of "Drive My Car", the article states that the Beatles arranged the song in a similar style to Otis Redding's Stax single "Respect". The text also refers to the band's use of dissonance in the vocal arrangement, a quality that musicologist Walter Everett recognises as "a new jazzy sophistication" in their work at a time when the group's writing and recording practices matured considerably. The article also discusses the sexual innuendo inherent in the message "Baby, you can drive my car" and the female protagonist's aspirations to become a film star, while the male narrator is offered the role of her chauffeur. Both these points are significant in the Beatles' presentation of a female character that author and critic Kenneth Womack views as diverging from the gendered expectations of the band's mid-1960s audience, in that she symbolises an "everywoman" with ego and a clear agenda.
 * It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.
 * This sample will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original recording.
 * It is a sample of less than 30 seconds and no more than 10% of the original recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording or to recreate the original recording. It is also of a lower quality than the commercially available digital versions of the original recording.

The use of the excerpt is in good faith, and its inclusion enhances the quality of the album article without reducing the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn.
