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.

@Mi-Amigo 

There is no problem with any of it on my behalf.

It was a discussion NOT an argument.

The latest discussion was between myself and @pgn regarding the use of Mary or Mother Mary.

I simply said I wouldn't have used the prefix Mother.

All's good and it's a great quiz (even though I am fast running out of names)

Thanks @Cleoriff 

I could see it was a discussion, not an argument, and just wanted to try and clarify the points raised - that`s all.

With 41 of the names found, it is becoming more difficult to find answers, I will grant you that, but there are still some relatively easier ones still left, as well as some which might stretch memories as to the words in the songs.

Have fun everyone....

The results of today`s [Sun] submissions will be posted shortly before midnight to allow time to post the list of names found up till then.

Song title is Mr Postman, song lyrics use Mister Postman, according to the cassette sleeve I have here.

But yes, all in the best possible taste and just a bit of fun, thank you @Mi-Amigo.👍👌

Now I’m not one to stir things up (fnark fnark) but Henry the horse in “Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite” has a capital letter and is a name, but is not a person, ‘e’s an ‘orse. Of course. 

I’d like this cleared up before we leave the E.U, please.

Thank you @MusicIan - you are correct [as previously mentioned on page 4] Henry the Horse is not allowed because he is a horse.

As to your remark about the EU, I am not, hopefully, going to let this thread descend into politics but will say that I believe this Challenge will be solved before the UK leaves the EU and won`t be looking for an extension to any agreement

Loved the reply, @MusicIan - I think they're (we're?) a competitive bunch on here, as well as being a bunch of raving pedants, in the main! (PEDANTS, not *peasants*, note!) 

Now I wonder what/whose toes I can tread on after midnight tonight, given Eddie and Martha were both dogs, in different tracks...
