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 answers submitted Thurs 21 March:
correct answers:
MAXWELL EDISON in Maxwell`s Silver Hammer - @Cleoriff = for reason in reply to early question
MO [MAUREEN STARKEY] in Get Back - @jonsie
The HENDERSONS in Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite - @Bambino
MR MUSTARD in Mean Mr Mustard - @pgn
sorry but I cannot accept:
MOTHER SUPERIOR in Happiness Is A Warm Gun - @MusicIan = it is a title [as in Catholic nuns] but does not specify ana actual name
DESMOND JONES in Ob la di, Ob la da - @MI5 = the lyrics read "Desmond and Molly Jones" but do not specify that Desmond and Molly were married or say anywhere "Desmond Jones"
I realise that some may think this is being a bit strict but as the Challenge gets more tense with fewer names to find, I think it is only fair to take a stricter ruling.
I should add that as @Glory1 submitted Lizzy in Dizzy Miss Lizzy and this had already been given but I was not online to point this out, then she can submit another answer along with her next answer [that is two answers next time].

Thanks for the "Welcome Back" from each of you.
I know not all of you have submitted answers for today [Friday] but have decided to give results so far.
Correct answers:
MR JONES in Yer Blues - @Cleoriff
TCHIAKOWSKY in Roll Over Beethoven - @Bambino
SALLY in Long Tall Sally - @pgn
Sorry, I cannot accept Mary Jane in What`s The New Mary Jane - @MI5 It was first released on a bootleg [yes, I have different versions].
As @Glory1 and @MusicIan have not submitted answers for today - Fri 22 Mar - they can submit an additional answer for tomorrow [Sat]
Please note, as @Glory1 gave an answer on Thurs which had already been given, and did not give an answer today [Fri], she can give three answers - each on separate post for tomorrow [Sat] - after midnight tonight [Fri].
I hope everyone is OK with this.
I will post the list of names - in alphabetical order - found so far.
Please do check the list so as to avoid posting a name which has already gone.
Thanks
