There was a little confusion about the deadline time last cut. It's 2pm central time which equates to an 8PM timestamp on this board I believe.

I also ran into something that I forgot to think about and somehow haven't run into until now. Ties! I think on Schleuse's version he gives them the benefit of the doubt but since we have so many songs they'll receive no such benefit and they will all get the boot.

So...we have 6 leaving us today. Please, Please Me continues to get kicked around and Beatles For Sale takes it's knocks as well to the chagrin of the Mr. Moonlight haters (even though it has one of the best openings of any Beatles songs )

Eliminated:

Mr. Moonlight: 20 points
Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey: 15 points
Anna (Go To Him): 13 points
Run For Your Life: 12 points
Her Majesty: 12 points
Act Naturally: 12 points

Close: Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby, Inner Light, Baby It's You, Words Of Love, Honey Don't

RULES: Vote for 10 Beatles songs assigning 5 points to two, 4 points to two, 3 points to two, 2 points to two and 1 point to two. Please put the point value next to each song.

Comments are very welcome but not required. I'd like it if you give an overall comment but you don't have to.

5 songs will be eliminated every Monday and Thursday and a new vote will begin each day. The deadline for submitting a list is 2PM on each elimination day. In the event of a tie all songs receiving the elimination vote will be eliminated.

5 points- When I'm Sixty-Four
5 points- Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby
4 points- For You Blue
4 points- You Really Got a Hold on Me
3 points- Back in the USSR
3 points- Don't Pass Me By
2 point- Yellow Submarine
2 point- Sgt. Peppers (Reprise)
1 point- Honey Don't: Let's just go after the Ringo country tunes. I actually think Act Naturally is the best of them but none of them are all that good.
1 point- Misery: I'm surprised this hasn't received more votes.

A lot of great songs getting some votes (as expected). Words of Love is easily the Beatles best cover and I think they do it better than Buddy himself.

5 pts: Maxwell's Silver Hammer
5 pts: Please Please Me

4 pts: Misery
4 pts: Drive My Car

3 pts: No Reply
3 pts: Roll Over Beethoven

2 pts: Not A Second Time
2 pts: If I Fell

1 pt: Ask Me Why
1 pt: Baby It's You

Sad to see "Run for Your Life" go, it's one of my favorite non-"hit" Beatle tracks despite the misogyny (which isn't as harsh as many blues/R&B numbers of a decade before..)

My votes this time out:

All I've Got To Do 5 pts Can't hum it without actually putting it on so it's not one of their better tunes IMO.
Ask Me Why 5 pts -2nd verse same as the first...
Not A Second Time 4 pts- and ditto..but I can remember a LITTLE of it so it gets fewer points
Savoy Truffle 4 pts- This will be heresy to many but I'm one of those in the camp with George Martin, I think the White Album should have been trimmed back to a single disc. This is one of the FIRST I would give the axe to. (We've killed "Wild Honey Pie", thankfully..)
Sun King 3 pts- Out of context of the song suite, it doesn't have much to offer me as an individual song. In fact, it would probably get MORE points if I didn't listen to it more often because of it being on ABBEY ROAD.
Love You To 3 pts- I can listen to this if I'm in the mood, but this is one I skip at least some of the time, so...
I Call Your Name 2 pts- Not all that great a song.
Blue Jay Way 2 pts- This isn't outright BAD but I suspect this is the type of song which needs "enhancement" with chemicals to be "great" and I don't enhance.
I'll Cry Instead 1 pts- A decent little tune but not top-tier.
Hold Me Tight 1 pts-Same as the last

Narrowly missing the knife:
Glass Onion and It's All Too Much

Old votes:
5 points: “You Really Got a Hold on Me”
5 points: “Your Mother Should Know”
4 points: “You Like Me Too Much”
4 points: “Words of Love”
3 points: “Thank You Girl”
3 points: “Roll Over Beethoven”
2 points: “The Night Before”
2 points: “What Goes On”

New votes (two Macca tunes with some charm but undeniably silly):
1 point: “Maxwell's Silver Hammer”
1 point: “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”.

5 points Please Mister Postman
5 points Not A Second Time
4 points Honey Don't
4 points I Don't Want To Spoil The Party

3 points Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, The
2 points Piggies
2 points Good Night
1 point It's All Too Much
1 point Only A Northern Song

Some songs may grate on you due to over exposure, but these songs are actually weak in comparison to the good, over exposed songs - vote them off!

5 pts: The Inner Light
PAUL: OK, George has 5 new songs and we need to give him 4 on the album.
JOHN: Ach, why?
PAUL: 'Cause it's a double. One on each side.
JOHN: Ach. Fine, what are they?
PAUL: Well, "Guitar" and "Savoy" are actually really good ...
JOHN: Agreed.
PAUL: ... and "Piggies" fits in really well with what we want on Side 2. So it's between "Long Long Long" and "The Inner Light".
JOHN: Which one is the Indian one?
PAUL: "Inner Light".
JOHN: Ach. He's really running that into the ground, isn't he? Put the weird quiet one on the album and we'll stick "Inner Light" on a B-side.
PAUL: OK.
JOHN: Christ, I'm so BORED with all that sitar crap.
GEORGE: Guys, you know I'm in the room, right?
JOHN: Did you hear something?

1 PT
The Inner Light (in honor of Mr. Wexler's comedy stylings)
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band—reprise (I may or may not keep this here next time; I lost five songs this cut, and to be honest, I’m kinda pressed to fill out my list)

9 ballots huh. I'm keeping this open for 2 more hours to try to lure some more in.

Jesus, John! You run a tight ship around here! lol

5 PTS. ROCKY RACCOON
5 PTS. LADY MADONNA

2 PTS. ACROSS THE UNIVERSE
1 PT. YELLOW SUBMARINE
1 PT. HER MAJESTY

Ahhh, shit -- "Her Majesty" is gone already. In that case...

1 PT. HONEY DON'T - Wow, could they turn up the suck any more? This cover is worse than I remember it being.

Anthony you already had Honey Don't. If you're still around I'll give you 10 minutes to pick another 1 pointer.

Wow, I'm seriously retarded today.

John - just count my votes as is, if that's ok. Meanwhile, I'll try and get my head straight for Cut #6.

Alright. I was hoping you'd unintentionally break up a 4 way tie but that's ok.
