McCartney later described in "Beat Instrumental" how he went about the song's composition: "Here's one example of a bit I pinched from someone: I used the bass riff from 'Talkin' About You' by Chuck Berry in 'I Saw Her Standing There'. I played exactly the same notes as he did and it fitted our number perfectly. Even now, when I tell people, I find few of them believe me; therefore, I maintain that a bass riff hasn’t got to be original". Berry's "I'm Talking About You" was performed by The Beatles and the song appears on their albums "Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962" and "On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2".
