\"Day Tripper\" is a song by the Beatles, released as a double A-side single with \"We Can Work It Out\".
Both songs were recorded during the sessions for the Rubber Soul album.
The single topped the UK Singles Chart and the song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 1966.
Composition
Under the pressure of needing a new single for the Christmas market, John Lennon wrote much of the music, including the famous guitar riff, and most of the lyrics, while Paul McCartney worked on the verses.
Recording
The song was recorded on 16 October 1965.
The Beatles recorded the basic rhythm track for \"If I Needed Someone\" after completing \"Day Tripper\".
