A Can’t Buy Me Love
D Here Comes the Sun
That B-D matchup was a really tough choice. I had to think it over for a few minutes before going with D.
ETA: Upon reading the thread, I can’t believe A Day in the Life is doing so well. I fully expected the final two to be Can’t Buy Me Love and Help!
**C **A Day in the Life
D Here Comes the Sun
A Day in the Life
Help!
A Day in the Life
Help!
A Day in the Life
Help!
Can’t Buy Me Love
Here Comes the Sun
(Unfortunately I was unable to vote in most of the rounds and I’m not particularly happy with these final four, but might as well try and make my late round preferences count.)
A Day In The Life
Help!
A Day in the Life
Here Comes the Sun
Can’t Buy Me Love
Help!
A. Can’t Buy Me Love
D. Here Comes the Sun
A Day in the Life
Help!
And y’know, every time we report what are the Google-ads, we’re feeding back into the algorithm.
A Day in the Life
Here Comes the Sun

But, but, but… A Day in the Life is the Beatles greatest song! Don’t believe me? Just ask me!

Um, no – that would be “Here Comes the Sun.”

you’re both wrong - it’s the whole Sgt Pepper album!
That does it for the Final 4.
Here are the final tallies:
Can’t Buy Me Love 16, A Day in the Life 49
Help! 39, Here Comes the Sun 26
Wow. A John VS. John championship coming up…

I would say that ADITL is more of a collaborative John/Paul song than purely a John song (in the way that “In My Life” is a “John song”.)

Nah, I think John needed something in the middle, so he asked for a little McCartney fragment to fill the void. But there was nothing really collaborative about it. JMHO, however.
Plus, as much as I like Paul, that would’ve been a better song without Paul’s contribution.
Wow, if you asked me to pick the Top 50 Beatles songs ever, “Help!” would never even be a runner-up consideration to include on that list. It’s not (IMHO) even in the top half of the best songs on the Help! album. How in the world did it make the Top 2? 
The March Madness idea was one that intrigued me enough I was thinking of doing something similar with other topics/artists/media, but if it manages to yield results like this, I think I’m fine not having my curiosity satiated.

Isn’t this what it’s all about though? If you knew what would advance through each round, why do it? Sure, I could’ve said ‘Okay, these are the four best Beatles songs ever written; now vote which is the best,’ it might’ve had more predictable, and boring, results. But why do that? Is the Madness tourney perfect? No, seedings can be questioned. But this-- just like the basketball-- is all about the upsets, and comebacks, and close calls, and diaper dandies and all that jazz.
No sir, I think this was a fascinating study, and I’m not even saying that cuz I did it.
