Purpose of use	This song, described as a "neoclassical tour de force, sung to the accompaniment of an eight-piece string ensemble", was innovative to the point of being "a true hybrid, conforming to no recognizable style or genre of song". The sample presents the first verse, where the strings can be heard in "a pattern so taut and staccato it sounds like the baroque equivalent of a backbeat" under Paul McCartney's vocal. (Source: Gould, Jonathan (2008), Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain and America. Piatkus. ISBN 978-0-7499-2988-6, pp. 350,387–8.) Words alone are inadequate to describe the song, and presenting the sound of this song alongside earlier and later ones is necessary for a complete understanding of its nature and its contrast with material from other periods, and hence of the way the band's music evolved during their career.
