"Long Tall Sally"

Backdated, archival post

I listened to Anthology 1 to-day.  I noticed a few things which I'll get around to posting eventually (I might wait until I listen to the album versions of the songs I found things in), but the most exciting thing I found is in the Beatles' cover of Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally."

During the last verse (the second one that's mostly just "Gonna have some fun tonight"), the guitar part plays the melody of the backing vocals from Little Richard's "The Girl Can't Help It."  It's easier to hear in the version on Anthology 1, but it's also present in the EP version.
