Description
"Honey Don't" is a song written by Carl Perkins, originally released on 1 January 1956 as the B-side of the "Blue Suede Shoes" single, Sun 234. Both songs became rockabilly classics. It has been covered by more than 20 other artists, including the Beatles, Ronnie Hawkins and Johnny Rivers. The song has appeared in films such as The Prince of Tides, Diner, and Perfect Sisters.
The Beatles recorded their version on 26 October 1964 one of the last songs recorded for Beatles for Sale, which was released in the United Kingdom on 4 December 1964. The North American release was on 15 December on Beatles '65.
Although John Lennon had previously sung the song live, Ringo Starr performed it for the album, his usual one lead vocal per album. During the song, he makes self-referential remarks leading into George Harrison's guitar riffs, saying, "Rock on George, one time for me!" and then "Rock on, George, for Ringo one time!" The Monkees referenced the latter remark leading into the instrumental break of their song "No Time" from their 1967 album Headquarters.
