This article is about The Beatles song. For the movie, see Eight Days a Week (film).
"Eight Days a Week" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, which was recorded by The Beatles and released on their December 1964 album Beatles for Sale.
The song, along with two others from the album ("Baby's in Black" and "No Reply") was planned as a single release. In the end, it was released as a single only in the US on February 15, 1965 becoming a number-one hit. The single release in the US was the result of DJs playing the song from imported copies of the Beatles For Sale album as an exclusive since it was not included on the album's US counterpart Beatles '65. Later, it made a US album appearance on Beatles VI.
Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr is credited with having come up with the title. Like "A Hard Day's Night" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" it was a common saying of his that Lennon and McCartney took a liking to and turned into a song. McCartney recalls, "he said it as though he were an overworked chauffeur - in a heavy accent 'Eight days a week'."[1]
The Beatles' version is noted for its 'fade in' at the beginning of the song as opposed to most pop songs with end with fade outs.

- Alma Cogan in 1965 as a double-A sided single with "Help!"

Out there: Hot coffee and good company hit the spot
Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune - Jan 10 1:55 AM Today was my first Out There, and, after taking some good-natured ribbing from co-workers about how the name of this column fits me, I walked over to From the Ground Up Coffee House. The short walk helped awaken my senses, even before I got a cup of coffee. I must admit, it wasnt the first and wouldnt be the last cup of my day. The sun was burning its way into the morning sky.
