I think that 'I've got a feeling' is the only Beatles song where two distinct melodies combine at the same time, always thought that was pretty unique.

Isn't this also the only Beatles song to feature such a great amount of (great) slide work? Other than, what, Drive My Car (which could be Paul?), I don't think George played such virtuoso slide on any pre-"All Things Must Pass" Beatles songs.ricboy35 wrote:...Free As A Bird has three independant lead parts and I dont think this happens on any other song that I can think of...as Dean said, that is very much a Travelling Wilbury's thing.

It is a stand-out song for that very reason, but how about:dpowell wrote:I think that 'I've got a feeling' is the only Beatles song where two distinct melodies combine at the same time, always thought that was pretty unique.

A Hard Day's Night .. but only because John couldn't hit the high notes in the bridge.
A Day in the Life -- Paul's 16 bars in the middle.
I can't think of another one with George, though.

Well, John and Paul pretty much take over for Ringo in the chorus of I Wanna Be Your Man. Ringo is still there in the back of the mix, but I'm betting the faders on J&P were pumped at that point.

I can't recall a specific source, so I could be wrong on this one...
Wasn't "We Can Work It Out" a meld of Paul's "Try to see it my way, only time will tell..." and John's "Life is very short and there's no time..."

McCartney has said that "life is very short" was John's. But they sing that part in harmony. The original post was asking about songs where all three trade individual lead vocals. On "Live at The BBC," they play "Youngblood,"and It hink they each took at urn at "lookie there!"
