Song Lyrics Challenge

[Mi-Amigo]

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.

No but he hasn't been on for the last 48 hrs so we have no idea of who is right or wrong. Too much work for him to do when he gets back. So a bit of leeway needed ?

I have been let in, woohoo.

Yes, @Mi-Amigo is AWOL, we cease and desist until his return... 👍

[Bambino]

Yes, I agree. Even though we can all now post again, we should wait until @Mi-Amigo updates the previous day's answers.

OMG. Thanks each and every one of you for your kind comments re-my absence.

To bring you up to speed. I did very briefly log on but wasn`t up to replying to answers and doing update of list. The rad has been turned off and the water damage is slowly drying out. I have managed to catch up on much needed sleep and feel OK just the stress did have an effect.

Of course, with the log-in probs today I was not able to get on earlier.

Thanks for holding back on your next postings. I`ll get on with the results so far and post the list of names found up to 21 March. This will be up very soon.

I`ll re-open the Challenge for you to submit answers after midnight tonight [Fri] and will post results for that and an updated list tomorrow [Sat] after midnight.

If anyone has a query about the decisions or question about what might be allowed, feel free to post it on the thread or pm me. 

Thank you again for your comments and offering to hold back until my return.

This is much appreciated.
