songs
Short chorus is on nine of their recordings, from 1964 to 1969. 'I'm Happy Just to Dance with You' came first, on the A Hard Day's Night album, and 'Come Together' last, on Abbey Road. 'You Like Me Too Much' and 'I've Just Seen a Face' have it too. The lead vocals go John on three, George on three and Paul on two. On 'Come Together' it is only two short lines. Of those, 'Good Day Sunshine' has Burns Nu-Sonic, and only two other recordings do.
