THE SONG LYRICS CHALLENGE
To find the names of the people mentioned in the lyrics of the officially released records.
Hints/clues:
- not every song mentions a name in the lyrics.
- you have to find actual names - some first names, some surnames, some both - in the song lyrics
- lyrics may include a title or rank [e.g. if Miss Bloggs was in the lyrics, it would be included
- lyrics with only "a" or "the" not included [e.g. if "the Carpenter" was in lyrics, it would be excluded]
- some names are included in more than one song [not record]; you have to find all [in separate post]
- some songs include more than one name in lyrics; you have to find all the names [in separate post]
Rules:
- no googling/wiki/social media/playing song on iphone, smart phone, CD, record player
- all entries must be submitted as follows:
[name of person] in lyrics on [name of song] - [e.g. Mrs Bloggs on song Bloggs & Son]
- only one entry (guess) - [name of person] per post; only one post per person per day
- some names appear in lyrics of more than one song [not record], each to be given on separate post
- some lyrics contain more than one name, each name with title of song [not record] on separate post
- the words of the track Revolution #9 [on "The Beatles" ("White") album] are excluded
- only lyrics of songs on studio recordings officially released between Oct 1962 and May 1970 included
no "live" records, "BBC sessions", or bootleg/unreleased versions
There are 71 answers to find. All answers have been checked against lyrics on official song sheets.
Results - with correct [or incorrect] answers - will be posted each day after posts
Any questions or clarification, please post or pm me.
Good luck.

The Song Lyrics Challenge is open to all members.
Please check out the hints on page 1 and the list of names found so far in the list on the post below.
Also please note the rules on page 1 - notably
No googling, wiki, social media, websites, listening to records, cds, downloads, youtube, iplayer, smartphones for clues to names and/or songs.
Remember only name of one person in lyrics [not in title of the song] and song it appears in one post, and only one post per day.
There are still some relatively easy ones to find and also some more difficult ones to find in the list.
The results for today, Friday 15 March, have been posted a little earlier than normal.

Have a good sleep @Cleoriff .
There will still be plenty of answers to get when you come back.
I`ll put the results for today up shortly before midnight as the list of found answers is getting longer - well done, everyone - and takes longer to type so you can check what has gone....
