**Object of the game:**  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

**Rules:**

1. **No reading the thread before answering.** This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

**Scoring:**  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

**Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: None**

1. Name a Beatles song with a female name in the title (not Michelle)
2. Name a well-known happy Beatles song
3. Name a well-known melancholy Beatles song
4. Name a hard rocking Beatles song
5. Name a political Beatles song
6. Name a Beatles song that refers to sex
7. Name a well-known Beatles song with the word “you” in the title
8. Name a Beatles song with a one-word title
9. Name a playful or silly Beatles song
10. Name the best Beatles song that wasn’t a big hit

I kinda figured #10 would be an anti-conch, since “big hit” can be such a subjective term.

ETA: c.f., **kenobi95** thinking _She’s Leaving Home_ wasn’t a big hit. 😃

Damn, I discounted “Why Don’t We Do it in the Road” because I thought it was relatively obscure.

“Something” is not a hit? I thought it reached #1.
