That was my alternate.

There are about half a dozen great Beatles songs that made the polls, so I think it’s understandable that this didn’t get nominated because it’s their worst song beginning with H. (ok, “Hold Me Tight” isn’t so great, too)

Bah. Forgot Hi De Ho by Cab Calloway.

Wow, four Beatles songs in the final poll.

Even more impressive is that George’s songs, I believe, are out-performing John’s and Paul’s overall in these polls. I think George is on-pace to win his second letter.

Have any of these polls ever not included at least one Beatles song?

Neither U nor QVXZ, unless I missed one.

Mr. Boink is correct.

mmm

The key question is: are there U,Q,V,X or Z Beatles songs? I can’t think of any at the moment.

Nope.
