Misery (The Beatles Song)
"Misery" is a song performed by The Beatles on their album Please Please Me. It was co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. According to Lennon, "It was kind of a John song more than a Paul song, but it was written together." McCartney was to say: "I don't think either one of us dominated on that one, it was just a hacking job."
A 1963 single by Kenny Lynch made "Misery" the first Beatles' song to be covered by another artist.
