Devil in Her Heart

The Donays, a Detroit girls-group, only made one record, and this was it. It was a flop. The Beatles decided to cover it, making gender changes in the lyrics and speeding it up. They added more of a Latin flavor to it as well. George takes the spotlight in this song, not only with the lead vocal (double-tracked), but also with some flashy, Latin-style lead guitar work. Ringo provides the percussion for a solid four-bar intro, which is followed by three chorus-verse sequences, concluding with an extended reprise of the chorus, ending, not with a fade-out, but with a seventh chord, added ninth. The trade mark Beatles "break" is heard prior to the last three rounds of the chorus. The backup vocals warn the singer about the perils of having a girlfriend known to be a heart-breaker -- something the lead vocal denies throughout.
