LEE PETERS: You know the boys are responsible for their own arrangements. Now John, tell us um, how did you get onto this next one?
JOHN: Well, like, you just get your guitar like and strum it, rock 'n' roll and like mister...
LEE PETERS: Yes.
JOHN: Isn't that right Paul?
PAUL: Yeah, but like the plucking, you know, and all that.
LEE PETERS: Yes.
JOHN: Strumming, music-like.
LEE PETERS: George, you'll let us into the secret, won't you?

LEE PETERS: George, what is this secret?
GEORGE: We got the box, Harry!
LEE PETERS: You've got the box, Harry. Well, Harry, I hope you're very happy with the box. Now, before I get boxed in, you're in luck, Leslie and Dot of Seaforth in Liverpool, and so are you, Sue, Ilene, and Anne of Ilkeston in Darbishire because the boys are going to sing the song that you have requested. It's called, "You've Really Got A Hold On Me".
