In November of 1967, the Beatles released their song “Hello, Goodbye” as a single. Paul McCartney used a very unique writing style when developing the song. He asked Alistair Taylor, a Beatles aide, to say the opposite to anything he said and the song generated from there. The song was a major hit in the United States and the United Kingdom.
