Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band issued worldwide in June 1967. The song was written for and sung by the Beatles ' drummer Ringo Starr as the character `` Billy Shears ''. The song, paired with `` Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band '' and featuring `` A Day in the Life '' as its B - side, was reissued as a single in the U.S. in August 1978 ( # 71 ) and in the U.K. in September 1978 ( # 63 ). `` With a Little Help from My Friends '' was ranked No. 311 on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

McCartney said : `` It was pretty much co-written, John and I doing a work song for Ringo, a little craft job. '' In 1970 Lennon stated : `` Paul had the line about ' a little help from my friends. ' He had some kind of structure for it, and we wrote it pretty well fifty - fifty from his original idea. '', but in 1980 Lennon said : `` This is Paul, with a little help from me. ' What do you see when you turn out the light / I ca n't tell you, but I know it 's mine... ' is mine. '' It was briefly called `` Bad Finger Boogie '' ( later the inspiration for the band name Badfinger ), supposedly because Lennon composed the melody on a piano using his middle finger after having hurt his forefinger. The song begins with the applause from the end of Sgt. Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lennon and McCartney deliberately wrote a tune with a limited range -- except for the last note, which McCartney worked closely with Starr to achieve. Speaking in the Anthology, Starr explained that he insisted on changing the first line -- which originally was `` What would you think if I sang out of tune ? Would you throw ripe tomatoes at me ? '' -- so that fans would not throw tomatoes at him should he perform it live. ( In the early days, after George Harrison made a passing comment that he liked jelly babies, the group was showered with them at all of their live performances. ) The song 's composition is unusually well documented, as Hunter Davies was present and described the writing process in the Beatles ' official biography. The song is partly in the form of a conversation in which the other three Beatles sing a question -- e.g. `` Would you believe in a love at first sight ? '' where Starr answers, `` Yes, I 'm certain that it happens all the time. '' Recording The Beatles began recording the song on 29 March 1967, the day before they posed for the Sgt. Pepper album cover. They recorded 10 takes of the song, wrapping up sessions at 5 : 45 in the morning. The backing track consisted of Starr on drums, McCartney playing piano, Harrison playing lead guitar and Lennon beating a cowbell. At dawn, Starr trudged up the stairs to head home -- but the other Beatles cajoled him into doing his lead vocal then and there, standing around the microphone for moral support. The following day they added tambourine, backing vocals, bass and more electric guitar. Personnel Ringo Starr -- lead vocal, drums, tambourine Paul McCartney -- backing vocal, bass, piano John Lennon -- backing vocal, cowbell George Harrison -- backing vocal, lead and rhythm guitars George Martin -- producer, Hammond organ Geoff Emerick -- engineer Personnel per Ian MacDonald Live performances To date, Starr has closed every concert performed by each version of his All - Starr Band with this song. After he is done singing, Starr tells the audience `` Peace and love... peace and love is the only way... and good night '', then walks off the stage. Since 2008, the band segued right into `` Give Peace a Chance '', during which Starr comes back onstage, then walks off again. Starr performed the song with George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Elton John at the 1987 Prince 's Trust Concert at Wembley Arena, London. McCartney and Starr performed this song for the first time together at the David Lynch Foundation Benefit Concert in the Radio City Music Hall, New York on 4 April 2009. McCartney and Starr also performed the song together on `` The Night That Changed America : A Grammy Salute to The Beatles '', a commemorative show on 27 January 2014, that marked 50 years since the band 's first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Cover versions There have been at least 50 cover versions of the song and it has achieved the number one position on the British singles charts three times : by Joe Cocker in 1968, Wet Wet Wet in 1988, and by Sam & Mark in 2004. Chris Clark, the first white female recording artist to have an album released on Motown, recorded the song for her second album, 1969 's CC Rides Again. The song was also covered by Mumford & Sons and Dawes on the Tour of Two Halves in 2012. Mumford & Sons also covered the song to close out their headline set at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival with Vampire Weekend, The Vaccines, First Aid Kit, and The Staves on 30 June 2013. For the 1981 compilation Rarities, the Beach Boys released their version recorded in 1967, while in 2015, Brian Wilson named it one of his favorite songs, and in that year German rock band Bonfire, with new frontman David Reece, recorded their version for the album Glörious. Widespread Panic has performed the song twice, both times during their special 3 - Set New Year 's Eve shows. In March 2017, Broadway and Hollywood artists including Liz Callaway, FORTE, Annie Golden, Telly Leung and Chris Mann performed a gospel - flavored version of the song for a single and video to benefit Americans for the Arts. `` With a Little Help from My Friends '' Single by Joe Cocker from the album With a Little Help from My Friends B - side `` Something 's Coming On '' Released October 1968 ( UK ) Format 7 '' Recorded 1968 Genre Blues rock, hard rock, soul Length 5 : 11 Label Regal Zonophone Songwriter ( s ) Lennon -- McCartney Joe Cocker singles chronology `` Marjorine '' ( 1968 ) Marjorine1968 `` With a Little Help from My Friends '' ( 1968 ) With a Little Help from My Friends1968 `` Delta Lady '' ( 1969 ) Delta Lady1969 Audio sample file help Joe Cocker version English singer Joe Cocker 's version of `` With a Little Help from My Friends '' was a radical re-arrangement of the original, in a slower, 6 8 meter, using different chords in the middle eight, and a lengthy instrumental introduction ( featuring drums by Procol Harum 's B.J. Wilson, guitar lines from Jimmy Page, and organ by Tommy Eyre ). Cocker performed the song at Woodstock in 1969 and that performance was included in the documentary film, Woodstock. This version gained even more fame when it was used as the opening theme song for the television series The Wonder Years. Cocker 's cover was ranked number two in UpVenue 's top 10 best music covers of all time in 2009. In 2014, a BBC poll saw it voted the seventh best cover version ever. The version heard in the film Across the Universe segues from the original to Cocker 's arrangement at the end of the song. In 2001, Cocker 's version of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Personnel Joe Cocker : lead vocals Jimmy Page : guitar Chris Stainton : bass Tommy Eyre : organ B.J.

Sesame Street spoofed this song as `` With a Little Yelp from My Friends '', sung by a dog named Moe Cocker, who spoofs Joe Cocker, and the arrangement is clearly based on Cocker 's version. The Joe Cocker version was used as the title music for the 1988 -- 1993 television series The Wonder Years. `` Lend me your ears '' is a Shakespearean reference, taken from the `` Friends, Romans, countrymen '' speech in Julius Caesar and used at the time as a popular way of asking people to listen. `` With a Little Help from My Friends '' was played as wake - up music on Space Shuttle Mission STS - 61. On Saturday Night Live, Season - 1 Ep. 3 : John Belushi performed a full - length impression of Cocker singing this song. The cult PBS film The Lathe of Heaven ( from 1980 ) uses the original recording of the song. The main character ( George Orr ), who can manipulate reality with his dreams, comes upon a 45 of the song at a novelty shop run by an alien. The alien hands George the 45 saying `` Help is available. '' The song plays in the soundtrack and morphs into a synthesizer version. The film was out of circulation for over 20 years. When it was finally re-aired on PBS and released on DVD in 2001, many fans were upset that the original Beatles recording was replaced by a singer with an acoustic guitar. This was due to changes in publishing rights that have occurred since 1980 involving the dissolution of The Beatles ' original Northern Songs and the acquisition by Sony / ATV ( partly owned by the Jackson family ).
