It was written by Paul McCartney, though officially credited to Lennon--McCartney . The song is a homage to the Motown Sound, with colourful brass instrumentation, and lyrics that suggest a psychedelic experience . "It's actually an ode to pot," McCartney explained . A cover version by Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers peaked at number six in 1966 in the UK . The song was issued in the United States as a single from the Rock' n' Roll Music compilation album in 1976, six years after the Beatles disbanded . It reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the Beatles' last top ten US hit until their 1995 release "Free as a Bird". </P> <P> Though officially credited to Lennon--McCartney, McCartney was primarily responsible for the writing of the song, to which he also contributed lead vocals . It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios between 7 April and 17 June 1966 and evolved considerably between the first takes and the final version released on album . The song seems to have been hard to arrange until the soul - style horns, strongly reminiscent of the Stax' Memphis soul and Motown sound, were introduced . The brass was close - miked in the bells of the instruments then put through a limiter . The percussion instrument most predominant is the overdubbed tambourine . </P>
