Welcome to the eighth episode of UnBeatled, a channel where we take a deep dive on every single song The Beatles ever recorded, unpicking the music, the lyrics, the cultural context at the time and the impact the song had for the band's success in the UK and world.

In this episode @DavidBennettPiano and Beatles historian David Stark delve into Eight Days A Week, a song that was just an album track in the UK but went on to be a big hit in America.

It's an optimistic, feel-good track that's driven by jangly acoustic guitar and a classic McCartney walking bassline. Despite this, the band didn't highly regard the song and thought it was merely writing for the 'meat market'. Sit back and watch the history, the music and the trivia before listening to the song in full on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5ylLypaOksxWd75YrGtx2N?si=d1caa28155cb44c2
