    I know where my wild card vote is going anyway. Very surprised at the Tomorrow Never Knows result.

    Hopefully, Tomorrow Never Knows might be one of the qualifiers. :)

    Good Morning - Quite annoying.
    Also there's a line 'it's time for tea and meet the wife'.
    Then.. 'laughter time here, watching the skirt, you start to flirt- now you're in gear'!
    'Go to a show you hope she goes' (not the wife i'm presuming).
    'Ive got nothing to say, but it's ok' :eek:

    and whats with all the animals!?

    Dig It - Dafuq!

    so its gonna have to be an Abstain for me here


    Everybody Got Something to Hide - Don't know what the monkey is a reference to, but I like the sound of the song.

    Get Back - I know this. Nice and catchy

    Savoy Temple - I don't know this. I quite like it though. Another fun catchy song.

    Misery - Oh I really like this one! Song sounds good, and I like the lyrics too. My favourite so far.
    Pity it's so short, that could have been a right goody.

    Sgt Pepper - Seriously. What is even the point of this 'song'?

    All I've Got To Do - Don't know it, but it's another one I really like

    Why would anyone vote for ‘Dig It’?

    The tide is turning…

    Democracy, wha?

    :D

    Might not have been because anybody really liked Honey Pie.
    I'd say it was that they just didn't 'get' Tomorrow Never Knows..

    Probably is a great piece of music in it's own way, but it was just a bit too busy for my ears anyway :pac:

    Group C:

    Good Morning, Good Morning vs Dig It: I don't mind Dig It - it's interesting and the way he spouts out "Matt Busby" always makes me laugh, but it isn't really a song.

    Everyone's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey vs Get Back: I was originally going to say Get Back here - it is a great song - but after listening again to EGSTHEMAMM(jesus) it wins out. It's got great energy, is totally daft and has great vocals.

    Savoy Truffle vs Misery: I low key love Savoy Truffle, it might genuinely be my favourite George song. It's silly and throwaway, but it rocks, the guitar work is cool and it's really hooky: lines from it randomly pop into and get stuck in my head.

    Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band(reprise) vs All I Have to Do - The Pepper's reprise has some cool elements - the drums are as fresh as fck - but it's not really a song IMO.

    Birthday vs Happiness is a Warm Gun - Birthday is cool, I especially like the change in tempo when Lennon starts singing "we're going to a birthday party", but Happiness is A Warm Gun is a stunning song.

    Golden Slumbers vs Piggies - Nothing wrong with Golden Slumbers, I just prefer the oddness of Piggies, even if it is George being quite preachy.

    Nowhere Man vs I've Just Seen a Face:

    Abstain. I like both of these songs and can't say one is definitely better than the other

    Drive My Car vs Not a Second Time: Not much of a contest here.

    Yeah, I struggled with my decision here, I went with Honey Pie in the end. I just found them incomparable, and although TNK is probably the more... musically sophisticated, I would be more inclined to listen to the other one... So far it is the only decision I felt really bad about making

    Ha ha, ya, first really tough one if I was voting. There are a couple of other similar decisions in later groups too.

    I feel sick after that one. ‘Dig a Pony’ and ‘Hey Bulldog’ are two of my favourite Beatles song. I’m talking in the top 3.
