Peter Sellers reads

Just to show what a great actor can do, here's Peter Sellers performing the lyrics to Lennon & McCartney's She Loves You as Dr. Strangelove, which he played in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 film of the same name (he played three parts in that film: Dr. Strangelove, Captain Lionel Mandrake, and the President of the United States).

As if that weren't enough, in this Open Culture post you can also see him reciting the same text with a Cockney accent, an aristocratic accent, and an Irish accent.

Finally, at this link, he reads the lyrics of another Beatles song, A Hard Day's Night, in the style of a Shakespearean actor, to be precise imitating Laurence Olivier in the monologue from Richard III (the one that begins with the winter of our discontent).
