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

Voted for Michelle, though "Eleanor Rigby" is deeper, but she's not a girl in common sense I guess. Wink

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.

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

Martha My Dear

What's with the covers? They're about girls but not written by any Beatle.

That girl who came in through the bathroom window. Whatshername. She caught me and we did it in the road. Penny Lane, I believe. We were a couple of piggies too! It was a day in the life I'll never remember.

Gandalff, you seem to never run out of ideas Thumbs Up

I can go all day listening to the beautiful Martha My Dear. A close second is the quiet Julia and of course Dear Prudence.

So, Yoko wasn't a girl but twice divorced woman and mother, when she's met John. Approve

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.
