Ten recordings have it, from 1963 to 1968, and 1963 has more of them than any other year, with five. It begins on 'Ask Me Why' and finishes on 'I'm So Tired'. Two of them are 'Boys' and 'She Loves You'. It goes quiet after 1963 and comes back in 1967 for 'Within You Without You'. John sings lead on four of them, Paul on two, Ringo on two and George on one. Neither man reaches for it more than the other, 6% of Lennon's songs and 6% of McCartney's. Of the ten, 'All I've Got to Do' has humming vocal, and only three other recordings do.
