Misery

"Misery" is a original song by The Beatles. It has been released in various forms of media.
==Recording/Influence==
"Misery" was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. 
It was written backstage after the Beatles' performance at the King's Hall, Stoke-on-Trent, on 26 January 1963, and later completed at Paul McCartney's Forthlin Road home. A 1963 single by Kenny Lynch made "Misery" the first Beatles' song to be covered by another artist. Normal studio multi-track tape speed at the time was 15 ips (inches per second), but "Misery" was recorded at 30 ips, as George Martin intended to personally add piano at a later date, and preferred playing this at half-tempo an octave below.
