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.

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

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.

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.

(Siouxsie did a good job with Prudence too.)

Martha My Dear

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

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

Eleanor Rigby; such a sad and beautiful song.

Easily Eleanor Rigby.

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. Wink

Eleanor Rigby without hesitation.

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

Great idea for a poll! Sexy Sadie just to mix it up.

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 Approve

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

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.

I prefer the girl with whom we can do it on the road because nobody will be watching us.

Voted for Eleanor though.

"Julia" for me. I always loved Lennon's little White Album gem. :-)
