Oh! Darling

Oh! Darling is a song from the Beatles' 12th studio album, Abbey Road. It has hard, edgy rock influences. John Lennon said of the song, "Oh! Darling' was a great one of Paul's that he didn't sing too well. I always thought I could have done it better—it was more my style than his. He wrote it, so what the hell, he's going to sing it." I disagree with Lennon. I think this song was sung extremely well by McCartney, and I think it was more McCartney's style. I don't believe Lennon could have sung this song nearly as well as McCartney. Many people believe this song is about Lennon leaving the band because of Yoko Ono. McCartney was becoming very saddened at the time, and he sounds extremely anguished while singing the song, so this could be true. You decide for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikIEqikVMPo
