That is a Beatle song. I think John Lennon sang lead.
Reminiscent of Tin Pan Alley and Brill Building techniques and an example of modified thirty-two-bar form,[9] the song is written on a two-bridge model, with only an intervening verse to connect them. The original song has no real "lead" singer or even a clearly defined melody, as Lennon and McCartney sing in harmony with each other. It could be argued that Lennon is leading McCartney, as Lennon's vocals are more prominent on the recording; however, when The Beatles performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, McCartney's vocals could be heard more clearly (although this may have been due to a poor audio mix). The song opens with a few stuttering guitar chords, then, in true Beatles fashion, lunges upward, relying on a surprising minor chord, joined by George Harrison's guitar riffs. During each verse, the singers make a sudden jump a whole octave higher with the word "hand", harmonised with a jump of a fifth.
The song is about a man expressing his feelings for his lover, and at first, the singing is performed in a seemingly shy and bashful manner, with the singer pausing every few words: "Oh yeah, I (pause) tell you something (pause) I think you'll understand". However, when the chorus is reached and the singers make the octave-long jump, there is no hiding their feelings, with an uninterrupted "I want to hold your hand". The lyrics are straightforward and simple compared with later works of The Beatles.

Yes, it sure was the Beatles. 1963, I think I remember. Their second big hit single in the US.

Yes, The Beatles sang "I Want to Hold Your Hand"!!! But, if you've heard the Chipmunks, I know why you are questioning!!! They sang it too, many, many years later!
