How did Norwegian Wood beat out Elenor Rigby? Is this a game for deaf people? ---

I’ll continue with my practice of highlighting my picks in red. A Can’t Buy Me Love VS Twist and Shout I Feel Fine VS Please Please Me B Help! VS Ticket to Ride Norwegian Wood VS We Can Work it Out C Hey Jude VS Penny Lane I Am the Walrus VS A Day in the Life D Come Together VS Here Comes the Sun Get Back VS Let it Be **Happy** : Since I probably won’t be posting from Thursday through Sunday, I’d like to make my quarterfinal picks in advance. If you prefer not to count these choices, however, I understand. Pool A: _Can’t Buy Me Love_ is my favorite to make it to the Final Four. If _Twist and Shout_ wins this round, however, I prefer it to either of the songs in the bottom half of the bracket. Pool B: _Ticket to Ride_ deserves a ticket to the finals. If _Help!_ advances, take it to beat _We Can Work It Out_, but to lose to _Norwegian Wood_. Pool C: _Penny Lane_ over either of the other songs in the bracket, but _Hey Jude_ to lose to the _Walrus_-_Day_ winner. Pool D: The questionable entrants are all gone, and this is now the most evenly matched quarter of the field. _Let It Be_ is a slim overall favorite, followed by (in order) _Come Together_, _Get Back_, and the still-worthy _Here Comes the Sun_. ---

[QUOTE=Zebra] How did Norwegian Wood beat out Elenor Rigby? Is this a game for deaf people? [/QUOTE] possibly because some folk think its title is “All The Lonely People” and don’t think they know “Elenor Rigby” eta either that, or Father MacKenzie was having an off day 😉 ---
