Title
Why the song's name is "Love You To" instead of "Love To You" remains a mystery to this day.

I thought it might be conversational shorthand: "[Yes, I would] love you to [do that]." Whether that was the intended meaning or not, it is a meaning, so I don't see the title as nonsense needing to be unscrambled.

Nor do I see "Love to You" as more worthy of being singled out than other possible ways of reading the title ("To Love You," "Love You Too," etc.). Richard K. Carson (talk) 22:47, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I realize now that my latter statement was sort of silly, since "love to you" actually appears in the lyrics. I've added that fact to the sentence to make it explicit.


 * I still think the title makes sense even in light of the actual lyrics, but I hadn't intended to pursue that. Richard K. Carson (talk) 16:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

I thought this track was mis-spelt when I first saw it: surely it should be "too" as-in "also" not "to" as in "somewhere". "Love You Too" is a fairly common phrase, after-all. 86.148.103.1 (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Love You to
Moved the page to "Love You to" and edited the article accordingly. Prepositions in song titles aren't capitalised. See also: Got to Get You into My Life. The actual song title has a "to", whether it's a misspelling of "too" or not. Gershake (talk) 15:36, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Someone undid my edit and left no explanation, so I reverted back to mine...? Gershake (talk) 20:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

They undid your edit because you are wrong. The last word in a title is always capitalized. See here, here (rule 8), and here. Vidor (talk) 06:23, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, that's interesting. Still would have been nice of them to reason thus before moving it back without comment. :) Gershake (talk) 16:48, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Paul is CLEARLY heard harmonizing in the chorus "Meeeeee", "Seeeeeee". He was not removed from the mix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.79.30.211 (talk) 14:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Love You to → Love You To – Requesting move to original, correct title. English capitalization rules are that the last word in a title is always capitalized. See above. Vidor (talk) 06:36, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Raga rock
The source cited for "raga rock" does not verify it. Looked it up through GoogleBooks' preview of the book source: "raga rock". It shows up on the page where the song's recording is discussed, but is being used out of context here as original research: "the Byrds and the Kinks claimed to play 'raga-rock,' and by the summer..." is the exact quote, which leads to a paragraph on this song's recording.

 * Found source verifying "raga" with Dan56 (talk) 19:33, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Self-published sources such as this should not be used, although it doesnt call the song "Indian classical". The Pollack article calls the song's form "neo-classical" and "Indian-styled", and the song with "the influence of, the so-called Classical Music of India." The song's Indian influence is noted in this article's body, but this source I cited clearly calls it a certain genre and is the most reliable (published collection of music journalists' essays on artists' discographies, published by Rolling Stone, etc.) Dan56 (talk) 04:41, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * The Wikipedia article on raga calls it a melodic mode (not a genre) of Indian classical music, which is a genre. --John of Lancaster (talk) 14:42, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and citing Wikipedia articles is not a guideline. Verifiability is. Dan56 (talk) 23:04, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Just to clear up this issue, because I'm hoping to nominate the article for GA quite soon. The song's genre is "raga rock" per two sources cited in the article – Schaffner's book The Beatles Forever and the song review at AllMusic. (Other sources include Unterberger/AllMusic's article for "I Want to Tell You", and Treble's review of Revolver, where it's "trippy raga-rock".) Btw, I think it's important to retain "Indian music", per Lavezzoli and Leng, and to give it precedence in the genre field, because pretty much every commentator I've read highlights it in some way as an Indian song/recording, way more anyway than the number who label it raga rock.

Kevin Howlett's personnel listing
In Kevin Howlett's liner notes accompanying the 2022 Special Edition of Revolver, he writes that Paul was the one playing tambura, since a previously unknown rehearsal tape features him and George playing tambura and sitar together. He provides the following personnel listing:


 * George Harrison – lead vocal, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, sitar
 * Paul McCartney – harmony vocal, tamboura
 * Ringo Starr – tambourine
 * Anil Bhagwat – tabla
