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.

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
