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.

RESULTS: for names submitted Tues 19 March 2019:

Seven members submitted names - all of them were correct. Well done, everyone:

- Charles Hawtry in Two Of Us - @Cleoriff 

- Lady Madonna in Glass Onion - @Bambino 

- Ringo Starr in You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) - @jonsie 

- Julia in Julia - @Glory1 

- Pam in Polythene Pam - @pgn 

- Daniel in Rocky Raccoon - @MI5 

- Peter Brown in The Ballad Of John And Yoko - @MusicIan 

 

I should point out that, although I had Paul in Glass Onion on my list, I missed Lady Madonna in Glass Onion found by @Bambino . I have spent today checking through my list and my sources. As a result, the list has been revised, slightly - not with names withdrawn - and have found additional names so the total number of names has increased to 85 - out of which 61 have been found so far.

So there are now 24 names still to find - inclduing the one I consider to be most difficult to find.

 

Please do not post your next answer - for Wed 20 March - until after midnight.

 

The list of names, in alphabetical order, found so far will be posted shortly. 

 

Thank you for continuing to join in with the Challenge.
