Michelle (Beatles Cover)

I love this song.
Here’s the history behind it.

McCartney had gone to a party of art students where a student with a goatee and a striped T-shirt was singing a French song. He soon wrote a farcical imitation to entertain his friends that involved French-sounding groaning instead of real words. The song remained a party piece until 1965, when Lennon suggested he rework it into a proper song for inclusion on Rubber Soul. ¹

McCartney decided to remain with the French feel of his song and asked Jan Vaughan, a French teacher and the wife of his old friend Ivan Vaughan, to come up with a French name and a phrase that rhymed with it. “It was because I’d always thought that the song sounded French that I stuck with it. I can’t speak French properly so that’s why I needed help in sorting out the actual words,” McCartney said.¹

Vaughan came up with “Michelle, ma belle,” and a few days later McCartney asked for a translation of “these are words that go together well” — “sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble”.
