"Carol"

This morning, I listened to a compilation album of Chuck Berry (in the 20th Century Masters series) and noticed a small feature in "Carol" that's also present in the version that the Beatles did on the BBC.

In Berry's original, the repetition involved in the alliteration in the line "Ev'ry time you make the scene, you find the joint is jammed" provides a slight sense of this fullness.  In the Beatles' version, Lennon gets the words wrong, but since he substitutes an-other word that also starts with a J, the effect is actually heightened:  "Well, ev'ry time you go to jive, you find the joint is jammed."
