For nearly the whole run, 1963 to 1969, it is heard on six recordings, and 1964 has more of them than any other year, with three. It starts with 'Do You Want to Know a Secret' and ends with 'Because'. 'If I Fell' and 'Things We Said Today' are two of them. Three of them share it on 'Because'. Of those, 'She's a Woman' is in C♯ minor, and only three of their recordings are.
