In tune with the gentle, optimistic folk-rock that was all the rage in late 1965, "We Can Work It Out" was a number one single in both the U.S. and U.K., sharing more or less equal A-side status with its flip, "Day Tripper," although "Day Tripper" got less airplay due to the slightly controversial content of its lyric. Although more of the tune was written by Paul McCartney than John Lennon, it was also an outstanding example of how disparate sections written by each could be combined into one song that was more than the sum of its parts. (Indeed, perhaps only "A Day in the Life" is a more outstanding example.) McCartney's sunny, look-on-the-bright-side outlook dominates the lilting verses; the singing of the title on the chorus especially radiates hope and conflict resolution. The necessary darker component of the human equation is supplied by Lennon's bridge, which descends into minor chords and radiates impatience, doubt, and disillusionment. Much spice is added to the basic folk-rock arrangement by John Lennon's harmonium, which gives the tune a faintly old English folk air. It was also a masterstroke to switch the tempo to waltz-time for part of the bridge, which emphasized the more downcast and forlorn lyrics of Lennon's section. "We Can Work It Out" was fodder for one of the most commercially successful Beatles covers of all time when Stevie Wonder took a funky soul version into the Top 20 in 1971.

***

"Day Tripper" was the co-A-side, if that word could be used, of the late 1965 single that had "We Can Work It Out" on the other side. It was a worldwide number one, although "We Can Work It Out" got more airplay, due in part to "Day Tripper"'s somewhat risqué lyrics. "Day Tripper," you see, could refer to a trip that was drug-induced; it was also slang for a prostitute, some thought. In truth, it is doubtful that most of the young people that were responsible for the bulk of Beatles record sales in late 1965 were aware of such supposed double entendres. What grabbed them then and grabs people now is the dynamic rock-soul guitar riff, partially inspired, as was the riff of "I Feel Fine," by the guitar lines heard in Bobby Parker's 1961 soul single "Watch Your Step." The "Day Tripper" riff was quite a riff, though, spiraling up the scale with a funky grace, changing keys as the song itself changed keys, particularly in the instrumental break, where the keys reached their highest changes and ensemble harmonies pushed the tension to the brink before the quasi-rave-up segued back into the verse. The track's a good showcase for the Beatles' somewhat underestimated talents as bona fide soulful vocalists, particularly in McCartney's gritty execution of lines during the verses, and the falsetto that Lennon breaks into during the final chorus. Getting back to those mildly controversial lyrics, "Day Tripper" is a prime illustration of Lennon and McCartney's growing talent for incorporating contemporary slang into their songs. Both of the composers commented, in fact, that "Day Tripper" was not so much about acid trips as about people -- "day trippers" -- who pretended to be hip for brief periods, day trips, of time without being willing to commit to adventurousness on a full-time basis. It could also be properly read as a gripe about women who teased without going all the way -- a time-honored subject, for better or worse, in popular music in general and in rock, R&B, and the blues in particular. One of those bits of slang Lennon and McCartney threw in that no doubt went over the heads of the kids in 1965 -- and still goes over the heads of most adults today -- was the line about the day tripper being a big teaser, which they actually sang as "she's a prick teaser." One major performer to recognize the inherent soulfulness of "Day Tripper" was Otis Redding, who put his more funk-based cover on his 1966 Dictionary of Soul album; another was Jimi Hendrix, who performed it on the BBC the following year.
