Colours In Lyrics Challenge

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to the sixth in the series of Challenges.

Between October 1962 and May 1970, The Beatles released 24 singles, 13 EPs, 13 Albums, with a total of 293 tracks.

                                                               COLOUR IN LYRICS CHALLENGE

Below is an alphabetical list of colour-related words which appear in officially released Beatles songs.

The Challenge is to find which word appears in which song, or songs.

Hints/clues:

Some words appear in more than one song. In such cases, the number of songs in which the word is in is shown in [x].

Some songs contain more than one of the words on the list. In these cases, you need to find each word and post each answer in a separate post.

Note: you are not looking for other colour-related words which may be in the lyrics of Beatles` songs but those in the list. Should you find any of the words in songs not on my list, as in the previous Challenges, I will re-check my sources and give my verdict with an explanation as to my decision

No "live" recording; BBC sessions; Polydor records; bootlegs; unreleased tracks.

Rules:

Please, no googling, wiki, social media, iplayer, youtube, personal record collection [e.g. album sleeves] in search of the answers. Of course, listening to songs is permitted.

You may submit one answer for one word in one song per post - not two or more songs where the same word appears - and can only post one answer per day.

Each entry should be submitted as  [colour-related word] in [name of song it appreas in].

This Challenge will open at 11pm tomorrow [Monday 13 May] when you can submit your first answer up to 11pm Tuesday, when the first results will be announced.

On each subsequent day/night, answers can be submitted after midnight until 11pm.

The list of colour-related words is given in the next post.

Good luck.

Between 5 of us, we got the 4 you mention, @Mi-Amigo @.

We had one team member said 17 UK #1s.

We added one for good measure 🤣

I can't remember if the QM listed his 3.

If the five of you got four you were right. Shame you added one.

Never mind, I`ll do some research and give you the definitive answer in a couple of days and I`ll include the various charts which music papers used at the time.

Oh do you or anyone wanna guess at my question?

The published lyrics just give "fade" at the end, but I actually counted them. You might be surprised.

I'm done by the way with 'blue' not sure if anyone else can get them. Good luck to those remaining

I'll have a go at your question @Mi-Amigo. I've listened to the song 3 times, counting as I listened. 

My final total love is mentioned 94 times, with loves mentioned twice. Best I can come up with 

[Cleoriff]

And I'll go with 100 times...though it could be a couple more (as I was nudged by my cat Gizmo as I was listening and counting and thought I'm not listening to it again!!!)

102

Yep there goes the couple I missed with the cat nudging....

[MI5]

I didn't count the two "loves" at the end though so it's 104 if they are included.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Glory1 ; @Cleoriff ; and @MI5 

I honestly did not think anyone would actually play, listen and count the number of "love" and "loves" in All You Need Is Love.

The number I got was 99 [inc the two "loves"], which I thought was significant as it is known that, later, the number 9 was said to be of some importance/significance to John.

To be honest, I cannot find an official figure. You all came pretty close to the number I got and hope that @Cleoriff doesn`t blame the cat  !

[Cleoriff]

No I wouldn't blame the cat at all. His nudging for food got me the closest to your answer @Mi-Amigo 

So good for Gizmo
