Paul McCartney (Back In The U.S.S.R) I Saw Her Standing There - Red Square LIVE

"Back in the U.S.S.R." is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that opens their 1968 double album The Beatles (also known as the "White Album"). It was written by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The song is a rock and roll parody of Chuck Berry's "Back in the U.S.A." and the Beach Boys' "California Girls". Its lyrics transpose Berry's patriotic sentiments about the United States to Communist Russia, as the narrator expresses his relief at returning home to the Soviet Union, or more formally the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
McCartney said he wrote it as "a kind of Beach Boys parody" based around "Back in the U.S.A." He added:
“I just liked the idea of Georgia girls and talking about places like the Ukraine as if they were California, you know? It was also hands across the water, which I'm still conscious of. 'Cause they like us out there [in Soviet Russia], even though the bosses in the Kremlin may not.” McCartney's singing was based on Jerry Lee Lewis, while the bridge features a Beach Boys-style celebration of girls from various locations in the USSR. The track opens and closes with a tape loop of an aircraft landing on a runway. In 2003, following the fall of Communism in Europe, McCartney performed the song in Moscow's Red Square. Elton John and Billy Joel have also released versions of the song recorded during their respective concerts in Russia.

Awesome stuff, that song was one of the first songs I ever heard, I remember when the Beatles came to the USA in '64 i believe, and my parents came and woke me up and I went out into the living room and watched our black and white tv and There They Were with I want to hold your hand, and this Great song I Saw Her Standing There, and the little boy danced! Thanks for the memories.
