318 - The Beatles I Saw Her Standing There 1963

The song was co-written but based on McCartney's initial idea. Originally titled "Seventeen", the song was conceived by McCartney driving home from a concert in Southport, Merseyside and later completed at his Forthlin Road home in September 1962. McCartney said: “I had: “She was just seventeen,” and then: “Beauty queen”. When I showed it to John, he screamed with laughter, and said “You’re joking about that line, aren’t you?” "It was one of the first times he ever went "What? Must change that..." The lyrics were written on a Liverpool Institute exercise book.
