Eight Days a Week

John claimed that this song was written by Paul as a potential title track for the Beatles followup film to 'A Hard day's Night'. Director Dick Lester pointed out that it wa srecorded in October 1964 where as 'Help' started filming in Feb 1965. Originally they thought of calling it "Eight Arms to Hold". Paul then heard the phrase 'Eight Days a Week' from a chauffer who drove him to John's home in Weybridge one day."Busy? I 've been working eight days a week" said the chauffer to Paul. It is the first song which has a fade-in. It was made the followup single to 'I Feel Fine' and made it to no 1 spot.
