Lennon, affecting indifference, was said to be nervous about the broadcast, given the potential size of the international TV audience.

In the lyrics she asks her lover, who had told her that she had a crush on someone else, what she sees in the other person and what that person is giving to her what she herself cannot: "Tell me does she love you like the way I love you, does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you?". In the verses she also accuses her lover of not putting enough effort on making the relationship work: "You found

In the idealistic perspective of 1967 – the polar opposite of 1987 – its title makes perfect sense. In 1978, the Rutles parodied "All You Need Is Love" in their song "Love Life" and titled their television film satirising the Beatles' history "All You Need Is Cash".

The lyrics of "Dreaming of You" also explore feelings of longing and hope. Larry Flick of "Billboard" magazine wrote that "Dreaming of You"s idealistic lyrics have an "affecting poignancy that will not be lost on AC [radio]." "God's Child (Baila Conmigo)" employs an off-beat rhythm that is energetic, dark, mysterious, and its lyrics suggest subterfuge and counter-hegemony.

Despite its artificiality, Waters biographer Robert Gordon noted that the song "worked surprisingly well due in large part to the musicians' shared background [both being from the Mississippi Delta area]". "You Shook Me" was relatively successful, but did not reach the national record charts. However, it was popular enough for Leonard Chess to try to repeat; in October 1962, he had Muddy Waters overdub three more Earl Hooker instrumentals with lyrics by Dixon. One of these, "You Need Love" (see "Whole Lotta Love" section on Similarities to "You Need Love"), was also successful and outsold other Waters singles during

He also credited Love, an avid fan of doo-wop combos, with influencing Brian to listen to black R&B records. Writer Geoffrey Himes stated that without "Mike's R&B influence ... Brian couldn’t have possibly become 'Brian Wilson.'"
