Going with "This Boy" if for no other reason than Lennon's solo "cry-y-y" in the bridge when they did it on the Ed Sullivan show:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpONboAyXNc

I couldn't decide but that clip swung it for me

hard to choose -- 'yes it is' is probably the better song and performance but 'this boy' is inextricable from black-and-white ringo wandering around on the dock looking glum in AHDN. so maybe 'this boy.'

You know how there's always a Beatles song you've either ignored or never gotten to because, well, you don't listen to the Beatles anymore but which knocks you on your ass when you finally hear it?
For me it's "Yes It Is," played before going out last night. Holy fuck, is that beautiful.

It's almost a Louvin Brothers song
