The Beatles, (yes, the BEATLES) “Run For Your Life” The most menacing song in the Fab Four’s catalog, “Run For Your Life” is a two-minute string of threats to a girlfriend that closes 1965’s Rubber Soul. The song was written by John Lennon, who took the first line—“I’d rather see you dead, little girl / than to be with another man”—from the Elvis Presley song “Baby, Let’s Play House.” Lennon twisted the original song’s theme of desire into one of jealousy; the narrator refers to himself as “a wicked guy” with “a jealous mind.” Years later, Lennon admitted to Rolling Stone that he never liked the song, though George Harrison was apparently fond of it. youtu.be/8fBOfOt3-G4
