However, when in asked if it had any reference to the Virgin Mary, The Beatle has been known to leave it up to fans' interpretation.
In 2002, the Punkles did a cover of this song on their second album, Punk!.McCartney's mother was also named Mary, which has been cited as an inspiration for the "Mother Mary" lyric. In 1982, April Wine covered it on their album Power Play. In 1965, the Beach Boys covered "Tell Me Why" on their Beach Boys' Party! album. George Harrison – harmony vocal, lead guitar. Lennon's vocal is double-tracked in the stereo version, but single-tracked in the mono mix. John Lennon – lead vocal, rhythm guitar. Included on the North American LP Something New.

Unusually, Paul sings a lower harmony to John's lead during the chorus. John, Paul, and George sing a three-part harmony. The song was part of the 'studio performance' sequence, which was filmed at the Scala Theatre, London, on 31 March 1964. 
"Tell Me Why" was performed in the Beatles' debut feature film, A Hard Day's Night.
Its basic structure of simple doo-wop chord changes and block harmonies over a walking bass line "creates an illusion of sincerity through its sheer attack." Lennon described the song as resembling "a black New York girl-group song". I think a lot of these songs like "Tell Me Why" may have been based in real experiences or affairs John was having, or arguments with Cynthia or whatever, but it never occurred to us until later to put that slant on it all.
