Come and Get It

Badfinger’s “Come and Get It” arrived on Apple Records as power pop’s most infectious calling card—a three-minute masterpiece of jangly guitars and irresistible hooks that proved the label’s roster extended far beyond The Beatles. The song’s deceptive simplicity masks meticulous craftsmanship: pristine vocal harmonies, a chorus that burrows into memory, and production clarity that still cuts through vinyl crackle. It remains the definitive power pop single, capturing that sweet spot where melody overwhelms everything else.
