Talk:List of songs recorded by the Beatles/Archive 4

Suggested additions/deletions
I am indeed a Beatles fan, but by no means an expert. However I did notice this article and the similar List of Beatles songs by singer seems to have different song lists, slightly. Having too much time on my hands, I have compared them and tried to trace all the song titles back to a source, ie. to prove they are a Beatles song. I compiled the results in a spreadsheet, but here are the findings.

To Be Added

 * Moonlight Bay: Anthology 1
 * My Bonnie: The Beatles with Tony Sheridan
 * From Us To You: Live at the BBC
 * Mailman Blues: Sessions
 * Nobody's Child: The Beatles with Tony Sheridan
 * Sweet Georgia Brown: The Beatles with Tony Sheridan
 * Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby: The Beatles with Tony Sheridan
 * Saints, The: The Beatles and Tony Sheridan
 * Why: The Beatles with Tony Sheridan
 * Carnival of Light: The Beatles —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muchachos (talk • contribs) 22:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Some of these were found at this site.

Unsourced (in other article, but can't find listed elsewhere)

 * Can You Take Me Back
 * Christmas Time (Is Here Again)

Can anyone else please help to verify the additions and check the unsourced list?

 * "Glad All Over" does not appear to have been covered by The Beatles. Remove?


 * Can You take Me Back is what the outro of Cry Baby Cry is called. I've been told (unsourced) that it was an unfinished song

Glad All Over is a Beatles track, (track 15 CD2 Beatles Live at the BBC) and should be included in list- should be re submitted.-This is a Carl Perkins track, not Dave Clark 5 song.

Can You Take Me Back is a seperate song recorded same time as I Will. Song originally approx 2 minutes long but was edited down for link between Cry Baby Cry and Revolution 9. No legal release for this song however.

Christmas Time (Is Here Again) was part of 1967 Christmas record. However was released as part of the Free As A Bird CD single. Other longer versions do existMoth61 (talk) 19:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moth61 (talk • contribs) 16:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Beatles songs
This list has to be merged with this list. Wiki131wiki (talk) 23:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Charts?
We should explain in the lead section what "charts" are being referred to here (Billboard and...?), linking to the most relevant articles. - dcljr (talk) 23:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Cry Baby Cry
A day in the Life might be Paul and John, but Cry baby Cry is definitely not sung by Paul and John. Paul justs sings in the background at the end. Also if this song is John and Paul then Drive my Car is. Penny Lane and We can Work it out should both be Paul, with John because John sings the chorus in both.

'I've Got a Feeling'
One could always argue that songs that consist of two(or more) different ideas(like 'A day in the life' or 'Baby you're a rich man')by two(or more) different authors, should lead to them sharing an equal credit between them, but in this case I don't think that should be. Why?

Well, although John contributes his 'Everybody had a hard year' fragment, which initially had its own melody and chords(I seem to remember having watched a piece of film showing a bearded John, sitting on a bench with Yoko, singing this 'song' to his own acoustic guitar accompaniment -- although musically it didn't resemble 'I've got a Feeling' at all, not to my ears, anyway), 'I've Got a Feeling' would still basically be the same song if John's part were omitted altogether, if not quite as an interesting one. Paul writes the verses as well as the middle eight, and that outweighs John's contribution(should we call it a counter-verse?) by so much that the best John could hope for is a 'McCartney, with Lennon'-credit, which is exactly what I think he should get.

Here is the link to a youtube clip where John play's his own acoustic melody and sings the 'Everybody had a hard year' segment as the person above aluded to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEuWmn3387w  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.65.107 (talk) 05:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Anyway, John regarded this one as a McCartney-composition in the Playboy interview.--84.208.240.143 12:49, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Sources Needed for Author Credits
We need to cite every entry in the "Author" column that doesn't match the credits listed on the releases themselves. - dcljr (talk) 00:01, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * In fact, the credits should be reverted if citations can't be found. HelpnWP (talk) 21:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Table ranking mistakes
If you rank the songs by chart position, it treats it as an alphabetic ranking. ie. 1, 1, 1, 1, 10, 11, 15, 2, 2, 2, 20, 21 etc. This means that it isnt actually being ranked by chart positions and the whole table gets mixed up. Can anyone fix? Sebastian341 (talk) 16:26, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
