The author badly needs a job and has written a paperback version of a book by a 'man named Lear.' This is a reference to the Victorian painter Edward Lear, who wrote nonsense poems and songs of which John Lennon was very fond (though Lear never wrote novels). The song's lyric is in the form of a letter from an aspiring author addressed to a publisher. One of McCartney's aunts reportedly requested that he write a song with some other theme than boyвЂ“girl relationships. A similar melody can be heard in another McCartney number, ' Got to Get You into My Life'. Other noteworthy aspects of the song include its distinctive Г cappella intro, which reappears after each verse, and the distorted guitar riff that explodes from it leading into the next verse. The song is one of The Beatles' most distinctive forays into 'mod' rock and owes much to the contemporary work of The Who, with its distorted circular guitar hook, high-pitched harmonies, and pounding drums, complete with tambourine touches Г la 'I Can't Explain'. McCartney boosted the sound of the bass by 'using a loudspeaker as a microphone and positioning it in front of the bass speaker.' What American musicians like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett had used heavy bass sound before and now The Beatles were catching on, with tracks like this and ' Drive My Car'. It is marked by the boosted bass guitar sound throughout. The song, written in the form of a letter about an aspiring author to his publisher, was written three months after McCartney helped John Dunbar and others set up the bookshop for Indica Gallery. The track was recorded between 13 April and 14 April 1966. on The Ed Sullivan Show in the late spring.ДЄlthough the song was not included on an original Beatles album, it was included in several compilation albums: The film was shown June 9, one day before the UK release of the single. A film was shot at Chiswick House in London to promote the single on BBC-TV's Top of the Pops. 'Paperback Writer' was one of the last new songs by The Beatles to be featured in concert, as it was included on their 1966 tour. Billboard Hot 100, 'Paperback Writer''s two-week stay at number one was interrupted by Frank Sinatra's 'Strangers in the Night'.

This was the first UK Beatles single that was not a love song (though ' Nowhere Man', which was a single in the U.S., was their first album song released with that distinction). It went to the number one spot in the United States, Britain, West Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Norway.
