"We Can Work It Out" #1 1/8/1966

This and "The Sound Of Silence" traded the #1 spot for the first few weeks of 1966. With this, the Beatles started to make a very primitive form of actual music videos, pre-dating MTV by 15 years. The Fab Four began doing "promotional films" to avoid live appearances. They would no longer play concerts at all by later in the year. George Harrison suggested doing part of the chorus in 3/4 waltz time. I'd say his idea worked!
