“You Like Me Too Much” – Episode 98 with Anne (Beatles Research Society)
On this episode of our Beatles podcast, Peter and Kenyon look at George Harrison’s You Like Me Too Much, an overlooked Help! track that turns out to have more going for it than its reputation suggests.
It is an entry point into the bigger story of how the Beatles worked. How arrangements took shape in the studio, how imperfect performances still made it onto finished records, and what happened when someone other than John or Paul started finding their own songwriter voice.
We talk to Anne (BeatlesResearchSociety) to sort through the song’s unusual piano parts and surviving session notes. In the end, we find out what's going on with this song and why it's important in the Beatles catalog.
What we cover:
- The writing and recording of “You Like Me Too Much”
- George Martin’s session notes and the disputed piano parts
- The song’s unusual piano-and-guitar solo
- George Harrison’s development as a songwriter
- The different UK and US releases of Help!
