You Can't Do That is a song by The Beatles. Credited to Lennon/McCartney, "You Can't Do That" was written primarily by John Lennon.
Lennon not only composed, but also played the guitar solo. The recording took nine takes to complete. The song's threatening theme was re-visited in other Lennon compositions, such as "Run for Your Life" and "Jealous Guy."
Influenced by the (then) relatively unknown Wilson Pickett, the song is essentially a twelve bar in its composition, with Lennon introducing a discordant flattened 3rd (F) on the D7th chord, pointedly emphasising "...I told you before..." and then pushing the same note for the exasperated "Oh!" before resolving to the song's key of G.
"You Can't Do That" was recorded on February 25 1964, in Abbey Road Studios in London. The song was first released as the B-side of The Beatles' sixth UK single "Can't Buy Me Love." It was later featured in the A Hard Day's Night album in the UK, and The Beatles' Second Album in the US.
While in New York City for The Ed Sullivan Show, George Harrison was presented with a Rickenbacker 360 Deluxe electric 12-string guitar worth (in 1964) $900 . Only the second one produced, it was heard for the first time on "You Can't Do That" (actually used for the first time on "Can't Buy Me Love", but it was lost in the mix) and gave the song its distinctive chiming sound.
The Beatles recorded "You Can't Do That" four times for BBC radio in 1964. It also became a part of the group's live repertoire that year. It was the second song in their set after "Twist and Shout" during their Australian and North American tours.
The Beatles were filmed miming to "You Can't Do That" as part of the final concert sequence in the A Hard Day's Night film. The filming took place on March 31, 1964 at the Scala Theatre, London, but was not used. However, it was broadcast on The Ed Sullivan Show on May 24. Today, it can be found on the documentary The Making of "A Hard Day's Night".

Release date: 10 July 1964. I got something to say that might cause you pain; If I catch you talkin' to that boy again, I'm gonna let you down and leave you flat. Because I've told you before: Oh, you can't do that. Well, it's the second time I've caught you talkin' to him; Do I have to tell you one more time I think it's a sin.
