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.

A bit late now @Mi-Amigo  but wondering if you could type the list into Word, save it and then add the new ones? (then copy the new list and paste into the forum posting box)

The authentication fails message comes up when you are typing a lengthy post....

RESULTS for names submitted Wed 27 March 2019.

Only four members submitted names - @pgn ; @Cleoriff ; @Bambino ; @Glory1 

None of you gave a name on my list, but, in fairness, I have looked at each of the names submitted and have made a decision, which, I hope, will please all of you.

MR K in Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite - @Bambino . Initially, I did not include it in my list because, although it has capital letters, it does not specify a name. But, given that derivitives of the same name has been allowed and I allowed PC 31, I have reversed my original decision and will allow it. So this is a name which is allowed and was missing from my list.

MR H in Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite - @Glory1 . For the same reasons I gave about Mr K, I did not include this in my list. But, for the same reasons I have reversed by decision and will allow it. So, again, it is another name which is allowed and was missing from my list.

NOWHERE MAN in Nowhere Man - @Cleoriff . Initially I discounted this because, although it has capital letters, it is not a title or actual name. But, as John specified that it was semi-autobiographical [he was bored and the words came to him about himself] and I have allowed other similar names, I will reverse my decision and allow it. This is therefore another name not on my original list which is allowed.

CRABALOCKER FISHWIFE in I Am The Walrus - @pgn. This was not on my list. Although Crabalocker does have a capital C in the lyrics this is because it is the first word of the line, but fishwife does not, nor does the next mentioned person. As a concession, as only four of you have submitted answers and there are so few names to find, on this occassion only, I will not dismiss it [but cannot say it a name in the lyrics of the song].

The results mean that there are still four names to find on my list. Because of problems with posting the full list of names [and despite efforts using the method recommended by @Cleoriff - thanks for that], I would suggest you use the A-M and N-Z lists on page 33 and the names given above.

To help you in tracking down the last four name, I will give a couple hints.

Firstly, they are not in the song "I Am The Walrus".

Secondly, consider some of the answers which I have accepted previously and more particularly why.

Thirdly, one answer, I admit, is a "stinker" and when found or may lead to a little friendly banter.

Of course, if you submit a name not on my list, then I`ll carefully consider it before making a decision.

You may post your next answer - for Thursday 28 March 2019 - after midnight.

The regulars - @jonsie and @MI5 - who did not give answers today, can, of course submit answers for tomorrow - Thursday

Good luck everyone.
