just to sit at her table just a smile would lighten everything sexy Sadie she's the latest and the greatest of them all." Do you still think Sadie was a chap? OK, the first version of this song was about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi , their Indian guru, but because later disillusion about him, Lennon has changed the lyrics completely. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

Gandalff, you seem to never run out of ideas  I can go all day listening to the beautiful Martha My Dear. A close second is the quiet Julia and of course Dear Prudence. |

Before I saw the options I thought of Jane Asher! Some great songs but hte clear winner for me is Eleanor Rigby.
Superbly constructed song from a brilliant album

| Goin' with the sexiest of songs, Sexy Sadie. Also, I recommend to ANY fan of Beatles the Beatles Mono Box Set. The way the Beatles were supposed to be heard. |

Voted for Michelle, though "Eleanor Rigby" is deeper, but she's not a girl in common sense I guess. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

The concise storytelling and imagery of Eleanor Rigby makes it deserve my vote. I am glad to see it leading.

Yes, great idea. I would have voted for Lady Madonna, but it's not in the list. Eleanor Rigby is an excellent alternative, though. |

Because she has a baby at her breast? Well, yeah, okay then. But but but... she's more girl to me than Sexy Sadie, who isn't a girl at all: it's a song about the Maharishi Bogus Yogi  |

If Yoko and Lady Madonna don't count as girls, why is Eleanor Rigby on the list?
Mary Jane isn't a girl either.

I didn't realize they had so many girl songs. I'll go with Sadie because she's Sexy.

Martha My Dear is a lovely tune - in my top 10 for Beatles. Just a really fun song - nice for the car. The piano riff is one of my favourites.
