Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Good evening and welcome to Slaggers Featuring Denis O'Bell..."

Answer: You Know My Name....

"You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" was the B side of the single "Let It Be" in 1970. Most of the lyrics comprise the repetition of singing "You know my name
Look up the number..."

This quiz was compiled from a list "Ranking the greatest Beatles songs, from No. 1 to No. 188" by Charles Curtis for "USA Today" in 2017. He wrote: "I'm not a music critic. What I am is a die-hard Beatles fan who grew up obsessed with the band, reading anything and everything I could find about the band while listening to the albums over and over."

Looking towards the top of the list, the number 10 in the ranking was "Let It Be".

2. "Now it's time to say good night Good night sleep tight..."

Answer: Good Night

A pretty easy match for these opening lyrics from a song written by John Lennon for his son, Julian. It appeared on "The White Album", with Ringo Starr singing lead vocal backed by an orchestra.

Number nine in the ranking was "Here Comes The Sun".

3. "There's a fog upon L.A. And my friends have lost their way..."

Answer: Blue Jay Way

"Blue Jay Way" was written by George Harrison and appeared on "Magical Mystery Tour" in 1967.

5. "All my little plans and schemes Lost like some forgotten dreams..."

Answer: Real Love

John Lennon wrote "Real Love" just as The Beatles were coming to the end of the road. He recorded a number of demos and one was completed after Lennon's death by the others in the Fab Four for the "Beatles Anthology". As a single it reached the top 20 in the UK and USA.

Number six on the ranking was "Yesterday".

6. "Then there's this Welsh Rarebit wearing some brown underpants About the shortage of grain in Hertfordshire..."

Answer: Revolution 9

The singing on "Revolution 9" actually opens with the chorus "Number one, number nine, number one....", but quoting that would have been much too easy.

Number five on the ranking was "Revolution".

7. "Honey pie Honey pie..."

Answer: Wild Honey Pie

Okay, not hard to match this one up...
Paul McCartney was the main writer for this little piece of nonsense that appeared on The White album double LP in 1968. Macca was only Beatle to play on the track.

Number four on the ranking was Paul McCartney's song for Julian Lennon "Hey Jude".

8. "One, two, three, four Can I have a little more?..."

Charles Curtis, who compiled the list this quiz is based on, wrote: "And this is the apex of the Lennon-McCartney partnership that produced so many amazing songs - John on the verse, Paul on the bridge, leading up to that thunderous piano chord that gives me chills nearly every time I hear it."
