Contest #2: Battle of the 1964 Fast Song Good Times Megahits - "I Get Around" vs "A Hard Day's Night"
"I Get Around" - recorded April 1964
An alternative song could be "Fun, Fun, Fun," but I'll use "I Get Around" since it was recorded the same month as Hard Day's Night.
"A Hard Day's Night" - also recorded April 1964
My verdict: This is a lot closer than the first one, but a slight edge to Hard Day's Night.
I'll have more tomorrow. Will post one every day or two, depending on the discussion. I'll go roughly in chronological order. It gets interesting starting in 1965-ish.
