Taken from the Beatles Reimagined album, a collection of revisionist Beatles covers from American folk bands, this foot-stomping version of "I Saw Her Standing There" makes you think that maybe Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes are talking about a lady friend from a square dance? In any case, it's SUPER catchy. Where can I learn how to square dance? — Via youtube.com

Colbie Caillat is my guilty pleasure. Who else to better cover the sunny Beatles song than the ultimate surfer girl of the California sunshine? This version makes me happy every time I hear it. — Via youtube.com

Taken from the greatest holiday movie of all time (that's fact, not opinion), Love Actually, this surprise rendition of "All You Need You Need Is Love" is the sweetest thing ever. Lynden David Hall totally made the song his own with his silky smooth delivery, choral backup singers and orchestral arrangement. I will now be severely disappointed if trumpet players don't start playing amid the guests at my wedding. — Via youtube.com

No Beatles cover list would be complete without mention of Across the Universe. It's kind of like Mamma Mia, except instead of ABBA songs, it is all Beatles songs. The movie takes Beatles songs, and puts a whole different spin on them - T.V. It's a beautiful, wistful version of the song, filled with so much more emotion than the original, more upbeat Beatles version. — Via youtube.com

This is probably like the shortest Beatles song ever - just a brief 30 seconds at the end of the Abbey Road. Julia hits the sweetness and the sassiness of the song just right - "I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a bellyful of wine." — Via youtube.com

I've been on a jazz/swing kick lately, and it doesn't get any better than Ella Fitzgerald, one of the greats. What I love about this track in particular is that the Beatles were very precise in their playing and singing, whereas Ella plays around the timing of the song. — Via youtube.com

This is my all-time favorite Beatles song, and there are many, many covers of it out there, but this is the best. Also off the Beatles Reimagined album, the harmonies of this husband/wife duo put an indie pop/folk twist on this classic that you'll want to listen to on repeat. — Via youtube.com
