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

Results for names submitted on Sunday 17 March:

Seven members posted answers and all of you gave correct answers:

Mary in Let It Be - @Bambino 

Valerie in Maxwell`s Silver Hammer - @MusicIan 

Marigold in Cry, Baby, Cry - @Cleoriff 

Martha in Martha, My Dear - @Glory1 

Chairman Mao in Revolution - @MI5 

Mr Postman in Please Mr Postman - @pgn 

Georgie Wood in Dig It - @jonsie 

I assume that @pgn was joking with his comment earlier about Eddie and Martha. In case he wasn`t and as a bit of fun, I thought I`d give some information on the two names.

Eddie is excluded for two reasons - firstly this was an off-the-cuff song composed by John and referred to his childhood dog, secondly it was never released on an official record, but is on a bootleg [I have a copy] and songs on bootlegs are excluded.

Martha is a different matter. In Paul`s authorized biography he mentions the name in the song was inspired by his pet Old English sheepdog but the lyrics of the song refer to a former girlfriend - so that is why it is allowed.

The list of names found so far is posted, in alphabetical order, below.

Remember - no googling, wiki, social media, listening to recordings, vinyl, cd, iplayer, youtube, smartphone in search of answers.

Only one name of a person, together with name of the song it appears in, per post and only one post per day.

Entries for Mon 17 March 2019 can be posted after midnight today [Sun].

The figures? Out of the 78 names [including one not on the original list], 48 have been found up to tonight [Sun 17 March 2019].

The Challenge is now - can you find the remaining 30 names, and the songs they are in, by, or before, the end of the week? If not, the competition will remain opne.

Good luck, everyone.
