D is for Drive My Car/Don’t Let Me Down

Drive My Car is one of my favorite Beatles songs, as if I could choose.  Seriously though, how can anyone be in a bad mood after playing Drive My Car at full blast on their way home after a bad day at work?  I’ve been known to do it.  One of the many great songs off of Rubber Soul, it is only found on the UK release of the album.  The US version of the album had a very different track listing.  Actually the song leads off both Rubber Soul and the album Yesterday and Today.  Below is a video containing the 2009 remastered version of Drive My Car.  I’m also including Don’t Let Me Down.  I love the song and think it highly underrated.
