 * ALT4 ... that in "You Never Give Me Your Money", Paul McCartney's words "pack up the bags, get in the limousine" may refer to fleeing tension among the Beatles after the suicide of their manager Brian Epstein? EEng (talk) 15:04, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd rather "death" than "suicide" - the latter is controversial and disputed. It can be traced to a reliable source, but let's face it, so can Ringo Starr going shopping between shooting the cover of Abbey Road in the morning of 8 August 1969 and recording "The End" in the afternoon.

 * ALT5 ...that "You Never Give Me Your Money" features boogie-woogie, honky-tonk, overdubbing, nursery rhyme, bells, birds, bubbles, and crickets?
 * ALT6 ...that Beatles, birds, and crickets contributed to "You Never Give Me Your Money"? (why can't they just be called "beetles" to fit in with the hook. How inconsiderate of them not to anticipate the creation of Wikipedia and DYK!) Belle (talk) 15:35, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

No copyvio, plagiarism, or close paraphrasing in the sources I could check, assuming the others will be OK. No QPQ necessary. Neutral. Good articly enough. Can't move without stumbling over a citation, such is their density. I would sign it off, but I'll give you ten minutes to pick a preferred hook, starting from........Now!

 * I really quite like ALT6, particularly as its birds, not Byrds, and crickets, not the Crickets. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:49, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * You made that easily within the time limit, I shall have to be stricter next time. Belle (talk) 16:02, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree ALT6 is best. EEng (talk) 21:44, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
