The first version?
I once recorded a version of "YGTHYLA" from the radio which was performed by a band identified as "Silke" by the DJ. He pointed out that before giving the song to the Beatles, Paul let a Swedish band take a crack at it. It sounds more or less the same in terms of instrumentation, but the addition of a woman's voice to the vocals is a pleasant one. This page identifies the band as "The Silke" and depicts the album's cover art - http://members.magnet.at/daggi/p_lp.htm

oops
Hardly Swedish, The Silkie were from Hull, "with its musical flair". More info at http://www.markprindle.com/silkie.htm and http://www.oocities.com/fabgear6366/silkie.htm

-- It doesn't seem likely that Paul would give away one of John's songs. Trishm 20:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Another Take at the Video for this song

Anthology version
In contrast to how it is described currently on the article page, the track on Anthology 2 is a highly edited, reordered sequence taken from an assortment of attempts at the recording. The description as a linear sequence of events that actually happened is inaccurate. I propose to remove this section entirely, though I will wait for someone to raise a reasonable objection.

Kristy Lee Cook
Rodhullandemu, why did you revert the Kristy Lee Cook edit? Your edit note indicated it was for notability reasons, however Kristy Lee Cook appears to be notable. &mdash;  X   S   G   19:03, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If we're going to have every performance of every song on talent shows in the relevant articles, even by notable performers, then I think this encyclopedia will become what it was not meant to be- an indiscriminate collection of information. And that performance was unsourced as regards general notability guidelines. If it had been a winning performance, for example, I would expect to see a citation for it. WP:SONG doesn't mention Cover Versions, so I'd say WP:N should apply, i.e. multiple, independent, reliable sources. It's a perennial problem with song articles. -- Rodhull andemu  19:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Personnel
The information you're giving in the Personnel part is incorrect (in The Beatles Bible it's incorrect too, 'cause Ringo didn't play drums in this song: there are no drums. That much you got right), there's no lead guitar part, both are doing rhythm, Lennon's 12 string acoustic and Harrison's acoustic. Let me say that again: BOTH, that is, McCartney is NOT playing guitar and bass in the recording, just bass. Also de 'alto' and 'tenor' parts for the flute are linked to the human voice, not to the wind instrument.

Another controversy is who plays maracas - some say Ringo did both tambourine and maracas while others say that Paul shook the maracas.61.69.217.3 (talk) 05:14, 21 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Correct - Paul did shake the maracas while Ringo played the tambourine.
 * Ringo also played his snare drum with brushes. 203.221.228.179 (talk) 04:23, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Link Wray's "You Hurt Me So" (1965)
I just heard Link Wray's "You Hurt Me So" and assumed it was an homage to "YGTHYLA," but apparently Wray's song came out in 1965. In which case, there's *no way* Lennon didn't take his song from this one, if only unconsciously: https://open.spotify.com/album/2MIkZd9GbfYJxDF06fBNvo?highlight=spotify:track:3VkRg5aRhF0yow2RYkPPj0

PS Never mind, lol, I guess YGTHYLA came out first, false alarm. For a second there I thought I'd found a smoking gun! Mpaniello (talk) 13:34, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Origin of "two foot small," potential error in article
The article claims "small" replaced originally written "tall," yet these handwritten lyrics from Lennon, allegedly scribbled in his chauffeur's address book, include "small":
