“‘The main thing that really buzzed me, even before I heard Elvis, was ‪Fats Domino‬’s “I’m In Love Again,”’ says Harrison. ‘I can even see exactly where I was when I heard that. There was this little place near where I was born called Wavertree, a district. And right at that point there’s a thing called the Picton Clock Tower, this tower in the middle of the road with this clock on it, and then nearby there used to be this old art-deco cinema called the Abbey. I was just walking across the road there when I heard ‪Fats Domino‬: Yes it’s me and I’m in love again! It must have been on a radio or a record player somewhere. And it touched somewhere deep in me.’”

Fats Domino, I’m in Love Again, 1956

Yes it’s me and I’m in love again
Had no lovin’ since you know when
You know I love you, yes I do
And I’m saving all my lovin’ just for you
Need your lovin’ and I need it bad
Just like a dog when he’s going mad
ooh wee baby, ooh wee
Baby won’t you give your love to me
Eeeny Meeny and Miney Moe
Told me you don’t want me ’round no more
Oooh wee baby, ooh wee
Baby don’t let your dog bite me
Yes it’s me and I’m in love again
Had no lovin’ since you know when
You know I love you, yes I do
And I’m saving all my lovin’ just for you
Eeeny meeny and miney moe
Told me you don’t want me ’round no more
Oooh wee baby, ooh wee
Baby don’t let your dog bite me
