Aaaaaaaaand, there’s the final buzzer. We had some of the closest matchups to date in this round. _Hey Jude-Penny Lane_ was a real barn-burner, as were BOTH matchups in Bracket D. Holy shit, were they close! In fact, we had a tie in the D Bracket, which means the decision to send a song home was decided by the flip of a quarter! On to the results (winners in bold, “upsets” in red): Bracket A **Can’t Buy Me Love 44** , Twist and Shout 18 **I Feel Fine 43** , Please Please Me 19 Bracket B **Help! 35** , Ticket to Ride 27 **Norwegian Wood 42** , We Can Work it Out 20 Bracket C **Hey Jude 32** , Penny Lane 30 **A Day in the Life 49** , I Am the Walrus 13 Bracket D Come Together 31, **Here Comes the Sun 32** (OT) \<—that’s the coin-flipper, folks! Get Back 30, **Let it Be 32** The next round will be posted shortly. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/march-beatle-madness-round-3-the-sweet-16-closed/440184.md?page=3)
