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.

Have a good sleep @Cleoriff .

There will still be plenty of answers to get when you come back.

I`ll put the results for today up shortly before midnight as the list of found answers is getting longer - well done, everyone - and takes longer to type so you can check what has gone....

Good idea @Mi-Amigo 

If the usual 'suspects have all posted today, no point in hanging on till the stroke of midnight.

Nite all x

[Mi-Amigo]

As @Cleoriff suggests - five of the "usual suspects" have, indeed, posted their answers for today [Sat], so will put the results up early.

I now predicted [as you are all coming up with very good answers] that there is a 75 to 80% chance that no-one will find the most difficult name in the list before the end of the Challenge. Can anyone prove me wrong? Once the list of found names is up, you can submit your answers for Sunday 17 March.

Thank you, again, for making this thread so popular, with so many views.
