“Ja! Ja! Ja!”

This is the story of the writing and recording of The Beatles’ German-language songs, "Komm, gib mir deine Hand" und "Sie liebt dich,” better known in English as “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “She Loves You.” From Hamburg to Paris, this is a story that traverses Europe and, later, the entire world, and documents a period in early 1964 where virtually everything the group did was quick, intense, and successful.

Questions covered: Of all languages, why did they record in Deutsche? Were the tracks successful on the charts? Who was Camillo Felgen? Why didn't the band record more non-English tracks?
