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.

I have a query @Mi-Amigo
If someone has correctly posted the persons first name in a song, but the lyrics also include the same persons FULL name, would that be allowed?
I have a particular song in mind. (Nothing to do with Taxman)
PS Off to bed now...Goodnight

The straightforward answer is "yes". For example, using the [unaccepted name previously mentioned] - if the lyrics contained "Eddie" AND also "Edward" then both - given in two separate answers - would be allowed and both would be correct.
Hope that helps.
Goodnight @Cleoriff

Just to be clear, I was talking about first name and surname.
For instance if the name Joe had been correctly answered and later in the same song Joe Bloggs (same person) was mentioned, would it be ok to answer with Joe Bloggs @Mi-Amigo ?
