About this episode
In this episode, Peter and Kenyon analyze "Anna (Go to Him)" from the "Please Please Me" album. They trace the song's roots to writer Arthur Alexander and its 1962 release. Peter prefers Alexander's original version, praising its soulful quality, while Kenyon admires John Lennon's rhythmic precision and emotive delivery in the Beatles' cover. The hosts discuss the recording process, which involved a single take without overdubs, and examine the song's cultural impact, including its feature in a "Married with Children" episode.
