Puzzling list of Beatles songs

Post by onosideboards »

Hi there! I was an OG Beatleg forum visitor but haven't done much since the sad collapse. :(

Anyway, I come here with an image of a list of Beatles songs that were given to me for sort of a web scavenger hunt. It's an odd mix of songs, surely not a set list by the band...but what could it be? I figure if anyone would know, it's this crew!

Given that there's 11 songs, maybe it's the tracklist of some obscure foreign album.

It is in alphabetical order, so probably not a tracklist. They are all early songs, so songs where someone played a certain instrument?

If you take the last word of each song you get
Week Secret Car Back Better Do Reply Man Shout Out Girl
Or..
Week Secret. Car Back. Better Do Reply, Man. Shout Out "Girl".
So in a week, you'll get the secret when you meet someone behind your car. When they say something you need to reply by shouting "GIRL!" at them.

It's probably another one of my old projects that I've forgotten about! :lol:

Ha! I love the cypher approach!

I didn't notice the alpha order, so that is helpful. I was wondering if it was a cover band's album listing or tracklist.

Thank you!

It includes all the Beatles songs on the Stars On 45 medley by Starsound...

But there are a few more too, so this may be Stars on 45 plus assorted tracks on someone's mix tape?

But only in the sense that someone was too lazy to type out the word "Eight".
