I hate IWTHYH. I find the songwriting incredibly unsatisfying. The melody is irritating. The whole thing is just weightless pop idiocy but without any appealing hooks or ideas. I hate it. I hate it.
Sugar, Sugar is also a weightless pop confection but one that is incredibly catchy and fun - what an earworm!
Easy vote. Fuck The Beatles.

One of the lesser Beatles songs, but still the better song here.

"Sugar Sugar" is great and that video is so fun. I'm not anti Beatles but I just like the Archies song better

Totally! Sugar Sugar is great and gets my vote here pretty easily to be honest.

I had no idea Sugar Sugar was from an Archies cartoon.

Sugar Sugar is awful. Really grating and definitely not "fun" at all.
Easy, super easy, easiest vote ever for I Want to Hold Your Hand, which I think is just a wonderfully written song. It's genius-level stuff and I really mean that. It's perfect.

I think I just really dislike The Beatles' voices, especially in the early days. Can't stand to listen to them

Even being in one of the single greatest Simpsons episodes can't save Sugar Sugar from sucking.
