tonyh29 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Ballard of John and Yoko counts presumably ? And after singing away a few songs in my head ...Walter Raleigh the stupid git. Edited November 24, 2013 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 25, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Yeah, of course. I missed Ludwig Van and Tchaikovsky. And there's also Peter Brown in The Ballad of John and Yoko. How about Being For The Benefit Of Mister Kite? The names were taken off a Victorian circus poster, so presumably The Hendersons et al were all alive at one time. And Doctor Robert was a drug dealer, wasn't he? Oh, and... Mother Mary (McCartney) in Let It Be. I assume we're not counting dogs, which rules out Martha (My Dear) the sheepdog. EDIT: There's probably somebody in You Know My Name (Look Up the Number), or even in Revolution #9, but I haven't listened to them in years.

Pelle Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I've heard that Hey Jude was from Paul McCartney to Julian Lennon and Jude being a nickname for Julian. Is that correct and does it count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted November 25, 2013 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Yes, on both counts. Good work. (Hey Jude was originally Hey Jules, but he thought Jude sounded better). Edited November 25, 2013 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Dear Prudence - Prudence Farrow Of course, yes. Are we nearly there yet, Maqroll? I'd not considered Julia, Jude, Rigby or Rita....Blue Ribbons to those who guessed them. Nice guess on Peter Brown, Mr. Mooney. But can you name the other person in the tune? Hint: It ain't easy... BTW, Yoko IS mentioned, but in another song. Edited November 25, 2013 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
