    How many Lennon and McCartney songs have been a UK top ten for acts other than the Beatles?

    Question #43053. Asked by gmackematix. (Jan 05 04 9:51 PM)

    Here are the ones I know of (there may well be others):

    Let It Be - Ferry Aid (No.1)
    The Long and Winding Road - Will Young and Gareth Gates (No.1)
    Michelle - The Overlanders (No.1)
    Do You Want To Know A Secret - Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas (No.2)
    Bad To Me - Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas (No.1)
    A World Without Love - Peter and Gordon (No.1)
    Got To Get You Into My Life - Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers (No.6)
    Yesterday - Wet Wet Wet (No.4)
    Help! - Bananarama with LaNaNeeNeeNooNoo (a.k.a. French and Saunders) (No.3)
    Dear Prudence - Siouxie and the Banshees (No.3)

    Just thought of another one (well, another two, actually): The double A sided disc released in aid of the 'Childline' charity. A side: "With a Little Help From My Friends" (Wet Wet Wet); AA side: "She's Leaving Home" (Billy Bragg) (No.1) . Which also brings to mind Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help From My Friends" (No.1).

    Additionally...

    "Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da" by Marmalade (Number 1, 1968)

    "Strawberry Fields Forever" by Candy Flip (Number 3, 1990).
