"Something" is a single released by The Beatles in 1969, and featured on the album Abbey Road. "Something" was the first song written by George Harrison to appear on the A-side of a Beatles single, sharing top billing on the double A-side single with "Come Together" in the United Kingdom. It was one of the first Beatle's singles to contain tracks already available on a long playing (LP) album, with both "Something" and "Come Together" having appeared on Abbey Road. "Something" was the only Harrison composition to top the American charts while he was a Beatle.

Although John Lennon and Paul McCartney — the two principal songwriting members of the band — both praised "Something" as among the best songs Harrison had written, the recording of the song was marked by acrimonious spats. Despite this, the single managed to top the Billboard charts in the United States, and also entered the top 10 in the United Kingdom. After the breakup of The Beatles, the song was covered by many artists including Shirley Bassey, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Julio Iglesias, Smokey Robinson, becoming the second-most covered Beatles song after "Yesterday."

"Somethin' Stupid" is a song written by C. Carson Parks and released by Carson and Gaile. It was released in 1967 by Frank Sinatra and his daughter, Nancy Sinatra, on the album The World We Knew. The song rose to #1 on the US Singles Chart and won the elder Sinatra his first Gold single. It was the first and only instance of a father-daughter number-one song in America. The single also reached #1 in the UK the same year.

In the same year, a rising country star Tammy Wynette released her version (with David Houston) on her first album, "My Elusive Dreams."

Also in 1967, French singer Sacha Distel released a French version called "Ces mots stupides."

Ali Campbell (of UB40) and his daughter Kibibi Campbell recorded the song for his 1995 solo album Big Love; it was released as a single but did not chart.

Robbie Williams' 2001 release with Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman reached number one in the UK.

Other versions figured in the 2005 album by Albin de la Simone, sung in duet with Jeanne Cherhal; by Amanda Barrie and Johnny Briggs; by the jazz-alpine-folk band Global Kryner; and released by The Mavericks in their album The Best of The Mavericks. An Hebrew version, called "I Love You", was recorded by Matti Caspi and his daughter, and released in 2005, on his album "You Are My Woman". The song was also performed as a b-side by the Australian band Frente off the single for Accidentally Kelly Street.

In 2006, the band DeVotchKa released the EP Curse Your Little Heart, which included a cover of "Somethin' Stupid."

Also Mary Hopkin recorded a version on "Y Caneuon Cynnar (The Early Recordings)"
