John Lennon built The Beatles’ “Run for Your Life” around a violent line he remembered from Elvis Presley’s “Baby Let’s Play House.” But Elvis was covering blues singer Arthur Gunter, who wrote and recorded the song first.

Here’s how that borrowed threat became the first song recorded for Rubber Soul, the album’s closing track, and a Beatles song Lennon later dismissed.
