4 Has great potential. I love the harmonies on the chorus. Seems like they were trying to work out the verse. Wish they had tried to do more with it.

1 - Ringo's lead too good to surpass by ANYbody. In BBs' case, much as they're really good at beating people they cover, in addition to the point in 1st sentence, they made big mistake by picking Bruce to sing this Beatles song. Voice isn't suitable, & I don't mean the sped down voice.

Just not interested in this cover. Ringo did it well and so did Joe Cocker. No one else need bother. 1.

Who let this Joe Boring Voice sing it? Ha! I suspect people like it due to being easily influenced & repeat like carbon copy what everybody else says, i.e. "this is great!". If this bad cover fell by wayside, nobody said anything good about it, I'm curious would people even like it? Hm, million buck question. That's the problem - people care too much about everybody's opinions when they should listen 1st with their ears. I mean, they/ we've got good ole pair of 'em, right?

I don't usually say this about the BBs, but this cover is dreadfully boring. Snoozeville.

I'm gonna have to go with 2 for this one. A tad better than With A Little Help From My Friends, but really nothing special.

Meant For You FIVE Absolutely beautiful, hearftfelt and sweet. The short version from the original album is definitely the best version (not too crazy about some of the additional lyrics from the at-the-time unreleased version heard on Made In California).

Interestingly, people don't like the MIC MFY due to extra lyrics. Years complaining it's too short/ should be longer, then getting exactly that but somehow still not being pleased. Can't win 'em all, eh?
It's not like they deleted Mike's lead *entirely* & replaced it on top with Brian's. You know, it's still there PLUS Brian's. It features both Mike & Brian. What's not to like? It seems fans put too much emphasis in lyrics (silly/ cheesy/ clumsy/ other descriptions) than "We get Mike & Brian sing "Meant For You", COOL!". That, I don't understand.

Today's song is Friends.
The very first thing that struck me about "Friends" was the coda. This takes the ascending phrase repeated in the main body of the song and reverses it, chords and all. And that nasty fuzz chord at the very end ("we're friends if you know what's good for you"). Five.
