The brief bridge sounds like a bit of an afterthought, but does include a memorable bit where the Beatles do falsetto harmonies, in what's been speculated as being a tribute/imitation of the Four Seasons.
really puts his best aggressive rock'n'roll vocal forward on other parts of the verse where he sings a line, only to be greeting by jubilant ensemble harmonies from the whole group in a kind of mini call-response format.
That rhythm resurfaces at the end of lines in the choruses, which are straightforward rock'n'roll with fine, nearly shouted vocal harmonies. But while it's not one of the more impressive songs from the album, it's a good uptempo number verging on raucous, starting with the opening instrumental bars, which have an unusual jerky rhythm, as if the tune can't decide whether to start or not. Inevitably a few of the songs sounded more formulaic than others, and "Tell Me Why" was one of them. John Lennon and Paul McCartney had to crank out songs at their fastest rate ever in early 1964, both to meet demand for new records and to write material for the soundtrack. "Tell Me Why" is the most lightweight of the seven Beatles songs used in the soundtrack to the film A Hard Day's Night it's also, naturally, on the album A Hard Day's Night (which combines those seven songs with others not used in the film).
