I have to admit that my favorite Beatles song changes on a weekly basis. But for the last couple of months, I've been addicted to "Paperback Writer." This is a 1966 song that I think is really unique and creative. The lyrics essentially form a letter from an author who is trying to sell a manuscript to a potential publisher. The best part, however, is the bass-heavy track with the rocking guitar riff. Plus the vocals sound great: The guys take awesome harmonies and distort them with studio all the studio magic they perfected. An all-around great record. Though I like just about all of the Beatles singles, I think their music really leapt forward in the mid-1960s when they started experimenting more heavily with their sound like they did on this record.

Listen for the "Frère Jacques" sung in the background (thanks to Casey Kasem for pointing that out).

Good song! I also like the B-side "Rain". There's also a quality mashup with "Paperback Writer" and the Monkees' "I'm a Believer".
