The Beatles – I Want to Hold Your Hand

• 0
  My Interpretation:Pure sexual innuendo
  
  I tell ya somethin - I think you'll understand
  (I'm going to say something, but I think you know what I really mean)
  
  I want to hold your hand
  (I want to... )
  
  And when I touch you I feel happy inside
  It's such a feeling that
  My love I can't hide.... I can't hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!
  (when I touch you, I feel happy "inside". I can't hide it.)
  
  anyway, I don't think this song is all that innocent ; )

  General Comment:It's about having a crush on someone and finally letting them know, hoping they will feel the same.

  General Comment:As legendary as the Beatles are, I think we are all over-looking a key concept; they were far from innocent. Their lyrics are actually rather the opposite, I found this particularly apparent in Hold Your Hand, "When I touch you I feel happy inside, it's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide." I am suggesting that he is talking about an erection in his briefs, something which many of us are familiar with. Tut, tut. The Beatles were so naughty :P

  General Comment:This song is too simple for my taste, but I guess it's OK. It's one of their old ones, so I don't mind too much about it's repetitive simplicity.

  General Comment:I think this song is about a man who when he says a specific word such as "I love you" he expects to hold the girl's hand.
