Could somebody with the source add some more detail about the quote by the actual chauffeur? Was McCartney definitely citing this as the source of the song's title? Or could it have occurred after the release of the song, with the chauffeur quoting it back to him? — Labalius ( talk) 03:30, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
This page should be moved to Eight Days a Week as there is no other famous "Eight Days a Week". McLerristarr ( talk) 05:23, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Eight Days a Week (song) → Eight Days a Week — Following the suggestion made above (at the Eight Days a Week (song) Talk page), and moves already made by that editor, the song should be moved to the plain title as the clear primary topic. Even at its current disambiguated location, the song gets more hits than the dab page and the two other uses combined. And all current incoming article-space links to Eight Days a Week intend to link to the song. ShelfSkewed Talk 15:10, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Even though Eight Days a Week features John Lennon as the lead singer, my beatles book incorrectly credits Paul McCartney as lead singer, probably because the song was his initial idea. I guess they made a mistake when publishing the book. C.Syde ( talk | contribs) 23:23, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
"Eight Days a Week" had its first week of airplay on WLS during the Saturday to Friday week ending 5 February 1965. [1] Therefore "Eight Days a Week" was released in the United States no later than sometime in January 1965, contradicting the claim that it was released on 15 February 1965. Further, the song debuted at #53 on the Hot 100 for the week ending 20 February 1965, so it must have been released before 15 February 1965, which was inside that week, and most likely weeks before then. 107.185.145.26 ( talk) 15:12, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Don't know if this means anything but the UK is right "next door" to France and in French "in a week" is translated as "dans huit jours" or "in 8 days"...[BTW i'm not attaching that Silver Dollar survey, it's doing it on its own...] 108.20.114.62 ( talk) 19:22, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
It could be mentioned that the song's title is referenced in the Beatles biopic Backbeat (1994) about the band's Hamburg days, where it's uttered by Stuart Sutcliffe years before the actual writing of the song. Stuart has been found uncoscious, foreshadowing his tragic death of a cerebral hemorrhage, and while he's getting a medical checkup after waking up, the Hamburg doctor asks him, "Are you working hard lately?", and Stu replies, "Been workin' eight days a week..." -- 2003:DA:CF0A:F272:39B9:4DDA:A91F:DA4 ( talk) 02:46, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
