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

                                                               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.

Duchess of Kircaldy in the song Cry Baby Cry

 


No problem @Cleoriff - post was to correct spelling, not a new name, and before midnight.

So your corrected answer will be accepted :slight_smile:

@pgn  It wasn't included in @Mi-Amigo's last update, which is what I based my pick on: https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Off-Topic/Song-Lyrics-Challenge/td-p/1205028/page/14

@Mi-Amigo I am obviously in error, so we need an adjudication. Do I get another pick, or is it just counted as incorrect?

Not wishing to speak out of turn ( ), I'd say bung another one in, @Bambino - let @Mi-Amigo  get to grips with the updates at a later date... :expressionless:

I agree @Bambino 

Just put another one in. Too late to edit original so allowed another choice. (In my opinion ) :wink:

Thank you @pgn@Cleoriff, and @jonsie but I will wait for @Mi-Amigo to decide. It's his quiz, and his rules.
