Welcome to the fourth 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.

                                                               NATURE IN LYRICS CHALLENGE

Below is an alphabetical list of nature-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 these cases, the number of songs in which the word appears 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.

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.

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.

Entries for Saturday 13 April, and each subsequent night, can be posted between 11pm and midnight. Results, with the number of answers for each word still to be found, will then be posted.

 

 

The list of nature-related words appears in a separate post below:

 

Good luck.

RESULTS for answers submitted for 20 April 2019:

 

As all six of the regular members - @Glory1 ; @Cleoriff ; @jonsie ; @Bambino ; @MI5 ; @pgn  - have given their answers, I`m giving the results a little earlier than usual.

Five members gave correct answers:

 

TULIPS = Glass Onion - @Glory1 

EAGLE = Yer Blues - @Cleoriff 

HONEY = One After 909 - @jonsie 

HONEY = Honey Don`t - @Bambino 

DOG = I Am The Walrus - @MI5 

 

Sorry, I cannot accept:

BIRD = Free As A Bird - @pgn 

 

The reasons are - the song was not released within the time frame [1962 - 1970]. Paul, George and Ringo took John`s lead vocal track and added backing tracks to recording, produced by Jeff Lynne.

 

I have checked through the list of nature-related words in lyrics and have found ONE more:

GRASS which I have added to the list of words still to be found.

 

The list of FOUND WORDS is in the next post.

The list of WORDS STILL TO BE FOUND [inc GRASS] is in a separate post.

 

You can submit your next answer after midnight until 11pm tomorrow [Sun] to subit an answer.

 

Good luck
