The Beatles’ “Martha My Dear” is a song that Paul McCartney wrote about his feelings when he got his first pet, an Old English Sheepdog named Martha.

No matter how mischievous she was or what she did, he just found her irresistibly adorable.

The lyrics convey the affection of a devoted owner, paired with a beautiful, quintessentially Beatles melody—both major charms of the song.

Although it was cut from the 2009 remastered version, the piano played by Paul, who is said to have taught himself the instrument, is another wonderful highlight—so be sure to compare the versions and give it a listen!

Feelgood & the Interns, but you might be more familiar with the Beatles’ cover version in the video.

Apparently, the Beatles were so busy at the time that they couldn’t devote enough time to songwriting and didn’t have enough original material for the album, so they included cover songs—and this was one of them.

John Lennon’s shout at the beginning of the track is cool and unforgettable.
