Rocky Racoon… for its story telling prose
but then again I am an Elvis fan… (a la the movie Pulp Fiction)
Flying & Baby You’re A Rich Man - Magical Mystery Tour.
“Help!”
While my guitar gently weeps
You probably don’t know it because it can only be found on the ** Yellow Submarine ** soundtrack.
I was able to download a video of the band recording Hey Bulldog. It was really cool but the file was huge, so I deleted it. You can probably find it using Limewire or Direct Connect or something like that, though.
Dear Prudence
Blackbird. Norwegian Wood is second.

It changes depending on how I feel… usually it’s either Let it Be, Here Comes the Sun, Lady Madonna, or Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da… But right now, I’d have to say Lady Madonna
Man, I can’t believe no one has said Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. Come on, how can you not like it? It’s got an catchy tune and a refreshing social message.
Eleanor Rigby and Strawberry Fields Forever
Daydream Believer.
What?
My favorite–And I Love her.
My father’s (the biggest Beatles fan in my general area) favorite–Eleanor Rigby.
I always tear up when I hear Eleanor Rigby.
I don’t want to recall all the hours I spent playing “I Should Have Known Better” teaching myself to play guitar. It was the second song I learned, the first one I taught myself.
Varies with my mood, but In My Life, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and If I Fell are all up there.
Um, in summer camp before 9th grade, one of my fellow campers (of the female persuation) was doing the pouty thing. I took my trusty guitar out and began to serenade her with “If I Fell” not unlike John did to Ringo in the film. She slapped me.
Backstage during a school talent show in my Senior year, I tried the same thing with a cute redheaded cheerleader but before I started the song, I said Lennon’s line “Oh, give us a kiss.” She gave me a smooch.
Too hard to pin down one choice, how about We Can Work It Out, since no one has mentioned it.
I wasn’t going to post to this thread because I figgered the first dozen posts would all name mine.
But it didn’t even turn up at ALL, including in the weaselly multiple-pick posts, until near the very end.
Norwegian Wood. Great mordant tune, brilliant elliptical lyrics, excellent mouth-feel with a strong finish, and sitar to boot.
In my life.
To be played at my funeral.
I ssem to be in a minority but my pick is "Get Back’ - mainly because of the guitar riff. It just appeals to me.
