==Influence of Bob Dylan==

At the time of the release of ''Help!'', John Lennon was infatuated with the American artist [[Bob Dylan]]. He even used to dress like the artist, once wearing a cap that was very similar to one Dylan sported on the [[1964]] [[album]] [[The Times They Are A-Changin']]. Lennon even mimics Dylan's gruff vocal style, and uses an accompaniment which is all acoustic with very little percussion. He also wanted to add a [[harmonica]] solo at the end of the piece, which was common in Dylan's work, but he realised that his infatuation had gone far enough [http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:Pj_MQMYw8-UJ:home.datacomm.ch/rezamusic/quotes_beatles.html+lennon+%22dylan+days%22&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=2].{{fact}} Instead, [[The Beatles]] hired [[Johnnie Scott]] to play two overdubbed [[flute]] solos—one on a [[concert flute]] and one an octave lower on an [[alto flute]].
