Dizzy Miss Lizzy (2:42)
From Early Contemporary Album (disc 1) and 29 other releases
“Dizzy Miss Lizzie” is a song composed and sung by Larry Williams in 1958. It shares many similarities with the Little Richard song “Good Golly Miss Molly”. When released by the Beatles, it was spelled Lizzy, instead of Lizzie.
The song has been covered many times, including — most famously — by the Beatles on the 1965 Help! album (UK Release only), though the recording was initially intended for the 1965 American Beatles compilation Beatles VI along with the Larry Williams cover, “Bad Boy”, recorded by the Beatles on the same day. Paul McCartney has stated that he believes this song to be one of the Beatles best recordings. It features loud, rhythmic instrumentation, along with John Lennon’s particularly rousing vocals. The song also appeared in a live solo version by Lennon on the Plastic Ono Band’s Live Peace in Toronto 1969.
In the United Kingdom, the Beatles’ version first appeared on the album Help!, misspelled “Dizzy Miss Lizzy”. In North America, it was included on Beatles VI (still spelled “Dizzy Miss Lizzy”).
The title is playfully misleading, the actual lyric being, “You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie”.
The song was originally thought about by band manager Brian Epstein, and was later introduced to Ringo Starr, the band’s drummer. He made sure that the band recorded it after loving its upbeat rhythm and interesting lyrics.
