Sheik of Araby by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1981

One of the many songs The Beatles performed for their Decca audition in 1962. Probably the goofiest song The Beatles performed for this audition sung by George with crazy background noises by Lennon. I first heard this on a Beatles radio show in the early 80s and was entranced by how brazen The Beatles could be with almost anything. Although it was "officially" released in 1981, the true official release was on "Anthology 1" in 1995.
