|Article = Helter Skelter (song)
|Purpose = This song has been described as "the sound of heavy metal music before the genre got its name", featuring a "throbbing machine rhythm" and a chorus with "a juggernaut run on guitar ... skittering down the scale" each time [[Paul McCartney]] "bellows" the words "Helter Skelter". (Source: Gould, Jonathan (2008), ''Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain and America''. Piatkus. {{ISBN|978-0-7499-2988-6}}, p. 520.) The sample presents part of verse one, illustrating the "throbbing machine rhythm", leading into the start of the first chorus where the "bellowing" and  "juggernaut guitar runs" can be heard. Words alone are inadequate to describe the song, and presenting the sound of this song alongside earlier and later ones is necessary for a complete understanding of its nature and its contrast with material from other periods, and hence of the way the band's music evolved during their career.
