Line 65:
*In [[1983]], [[The Bobs]] released an a capella version on their eponymous album. It earned them a [[1984]] Grammy nomination for best new arrangement of an existing song.
*In [[1987]], [[rock band]] [[U2]] recorded the song in concert for their ''[[Rattle and Hum]]'' movie and album which was released the following year. [[Bono]]'s introduction to the song was, "This is a song [[Charles Manson]] stole from the Beatles. We're stealing it back." Also noteworthy of this cover is that Bono reworked Paul McCartney's original line "You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer" and sung it as [in a kind of double-negative] "you ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer" (this occurs throughout the performance so one assumes that, while he was "stealing it back," Bono's reworking of the lyric was intentional and not simply a live flub).
*[[Aerosmith]] recorded their version of "Helter Skelter" during the 1970s and included it on their "[[Pandora's Box (album)|Pandora's Box]]" collection.
