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.

Thanks @MI5 

As for learning the alphabet you wanna try putting the names in this one in order

[MI5]

Haha, lol

[Cleoriff]

Another challenge would be fine by me @Mi-Amigo. Thanks for asking

[pgn]

Keep'em coming, @Mi-Amigo!

And I look forward to seeing which were meant to be the more difficult answers here - in a quiz once I hit a Beatles instumental, called Cayenne, which, despite having no words, apparently refers to a character of the same name.   I still have my doubts!

Thanks @pgn I will as long as you good people want `em

As to Cayenne? I know you`re not suggesting this could be one of the difficult answers, but it wouldn`t qualify for the quiz as it is an instrumental [and names in title only don`t count], was recorded by The Quarrymen [not The Beatles, so doesn`t count], on home tape recorder in 1960 [outside time frame of 1962 to 1970 for Challenge], was first known of on bootleg (and, yes, I have a copy) [bootlegs don`t count], not officially released until Anthology [again, outside timeframe of 1962 to 1970].

According to the info I have, Paul said he composed it on a guitar in his bathroom in Forthlin Road, for better acoustics. I can find no recognised reference to it referring to a girl. It is worth noting that John and George co-wrote the instrumental "Cry For A Shadow", with the name being a micky-take of the group The Shadows.

Re Cayenne, no - I knew it fell foul of the guidelines you set... But I don't know anywhere as much about that song (or Eddie and Martha!) as you do!  So whatever the really weird name is, if it is submitted, may well be by chance! 

I've a couple lined up for the next entry, both from the same song - unless someone else rumbles them first!

Remember @pgn only one name per post and only one post per day, so, as you said, someone else may rumble one or both

Oh and guys, I shall post the answers submitted by regulars a little earlier, as on previous nights, but please do not submit your answers for tomorrow [Tues] until after midnight, so anyone who wants to join can submit their answer for today.

Thanks.
