The idea of judging a song by its status as a "single" is now obsolete. Music videos still exist, believe it or not, but they're really no longer that plentiful. I couldn't tell you the last time someone downloaded Apple's take on this Beatles tune, but with possible pending release of the Fab Four's albums on iTunes it won't belong before mp3s abound.
So for now, enjoy a free near-cinematic take on this memorable track.
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru De Va, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru De Va, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my opened views inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a
million suns, It calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru De Va, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Jai Guru De Va
Jai Guru De Va
Jai Guru De Va
Jai Guru De Va
Yet another take . . .

I remember that video, I loved it. I think it was part of the Pleasantville soundtrack, hence the locale. There are still some amazing music videos out there, and is still a great way for lesser known directors to become known. Just look at Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze. Here are some videos I really like:
R.E.M. - Imitation of Life
Daft Punk - Around the World
Bjork - Bachelorette
