I was just following along with the ‘nor’ at the end of your phrase.
Well…one man’s hyperreactive is another man’s dumb. :dubious:
Maserschmidt, Labrador Deceiver, both of you knock off the personal comments, please.

Sorry twix.
Well, I’d just like to give a high five to It’s Not Rocket Surgery! for apparently being the only other person out there to realize that Yesterday is the most overrated song…ever.
There are actually probably other worse Beatles songs (and I’m not a fan of very much of their work, as a general rule), but the sheer overratedness of such a boring and bland song really galls me. The only other song I loathe to this extent is Imagine, which makes me want to punch John Lennon in the face.
I’m not sorry at all, as I didn’t make a single personal comment.
Exactly. Thus implying that what I said was correct.
Let me rephrase – stop the side conversation about who said what and what it meant. The topic of this thread is Beatles songs.

I can hum the melody of every song in this list and many of them are among my favorites. (Including Honey Pie and The Long and Winding Road - seriously, how can someone dislike something as good-humored as Honey Pie?)
I go with Mr. Moonlight or, if that doesn’t count, some other early record that was so unmemorable I can’t even remember it to name it here.
I don’t like “Mr. Moonlight,” but I’m in the camp that says that doesn’t count. For actual Beatles songs, I always thought “I Wanna Be Your Man” was about the lamest thing they released.
I’m glad that we’ve reach consensus over Her Majesty being the worst Beatles song.
Maxwell Silver Hammer… my daughter and I always skip this when we are listening to Abbey Road…
Its just Paul being too cute… i heard John hated to song as well…not shocked at all…
George said of it, “God that song was so fruity!”
This thread is pissing me off. Good Day Sunshine? Here Comes the Sun? I Want You (She’s So Heavy) Because? A Day in the Life.?
Insanity.
Guess I’ll go with “Baby’s in Black”. Just a very clunky song.
There are several Beatles “songs” that I think of as really only scraps, and I’m not picking any of them because of that. This would include “Dig It”, “Her Majesty”, and “Wild Honey Pie”.
I’m also not picking any of several songs that were released on Anthology that I think are worse than anything they released during the 60s… “You’ll Know What To Do”, “If You’ve Got Troubles”, and “What’s the New Mary Jane” are three obvious examples. There are also a few others floating around out there that were written and recorded by the Beatles but never officially released by them, like “Hello Little Girl”, that would certainly be on the very lowest rungs of the Beatles quality ladder.
“Cry for a Shadow” was an original, released in the 60s, and it’s pretty forgettable, but maybe it should be left out of count because it was “non-canonical”.
No, that’s Oingo Boingo. 
But seriously, I agree…half the answers here have been insane.
As to my answer, since the runaway winner, Revolution 9, has been disqualified, I can’t think of anything from Rubber Soul or later that could possibly be a candidate (or even BAD). (Though I was tempted to say Mean Mr Mustard, just to tweak the OP a bit.)
From the older stuff, the worst actually written by the boys…You’re Gonna Lose That Girl (off of Help!) comes to mind.
Other: Wild Honey Pie.
I put down “You Know My Name” which was probably a lot more fun to record than to listen to. But I can easily change my vote to “She’s Leaving Home” which I see as pandering to every teenage girl whose parents just don’t understand her. “After living along for so many years.” Yeah, when she slams the door to her room yelling I hate you, and just before being sold into prostitution by the man in the motor trade. Ugh. This is the one Beatles song that sank in my opinion as I aged.
I wonder how many people hating “Her Majesty” were born when Abbey Road came out. I was in college, and we thought it was a hoot. Maxwell too - a Paul music hall song, bloody like Sweeney Todd. I would have voted for “Long and Winding Road” which I was forced to listen to on the radio twice an hour at work one awful summer, but I had the version not butchered by Phil Spector on a Let it Be bootleg long before it came out on Naked, and that version is barely tolerable.
+1. I’m hoping the Honey Pie on the list was just a typo. Honey Pie = good, Wild Honey Pie? Not so much.
Ugh…I can’t believe someone that likes the Beatles doesn’t like this song!
Anyway, any of the early “I Wanna Hold Your Hand/Love Me Do” stuff would be my vote.
Other: Octopus’s Garden. Ringo Starr should have had his vocal chords removed at birth and his mouth sewn shut. He couldn’t sing then and he can’t sing now, yet somehow he continues to sell records.
