<P> The song is partly in the form of a conversation in which the other three Beatles sing a question--e.g. "Would you believe in a love at first sight?" where Starr answers, "Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time ." </P> <P> The Beatles began recording the song on 29 March 1967, the day before they posed for the Sgt . Pepper album cover . They recorded 10 takes of the song, wrapping up sessions at 5: 45 in the morning . The backing track consisted of Starr on drums, McCartney playing piano, Harrison playing lead guitar and Lennon beating a cowbell . At dawn, Starr trudged up the stairs to head home--but the other Beatles cajoled him into doing his lead vocal then and there, standing around the microphone for moral support . The following day they added tambourine, backing vocals, bass and more electric guitar . </P> <Ul> <Li> Ringo Starr--lead vocal, drums, tambourine </Li> <Li> Paul McCartney--backing vocal, bass, piano </Li> <Li> John Lennon--backing vocal, cowbell </Li> <Li> George Harrison--backing vocal, lead and rhythm guitars </Li> <Li> George Martin--producer, Hammond organ </Li> <Li> Geoff Emerick--engineer </Li> </Ul> <Li> Ringo Starr--lead vocal, drums, tambourine </Li>
