Paul McCartney gave two different accounts of the phrase that inspired “Eight Days a Week”: one involving Ringo Starr and another involving a chauffeur driving him to John Lennon’s house.

The Beatles then entered the studio without a finished arrangement, created their first released fade-in, and watched “I Feel Fine” take its planned British single spot, only for “Eight Days a Week” to reach No. 1 in America.
