Which Beatles recording would you leave to posterity?

Another Steve Hoffman-inspired thread...
The situation: a planet-sized chunk of star matter has been blown out of the sun and is heading straight towards earth. Human civilisation as we know it will be largely extinguished in a few hours. You have been asked to select a single Beatles track to be included alongside other important cultural artifacts in a time capsule to be buried fifteen miles beneath the earth's surface.
So, what's your choice? It can include unreleased tracks.
It should not necessarily be your favourite track, it should be the one you think would be most likely to mean something to a future generation of human survivors who know nothing of The Beatles.
It's a tough choice, but I think I would have to choose Love Me Do.
No, that was a joke. Sorry, I meant Strawberry Fields Forever take 7.
This track captures perfectly for me what this strange suit of lies we call Life is. Even if you've never seen a strawberry before.
