    A major challenge for us Beatles fans.

    I'm So Tired, I Don't Want To Spoil The Party and Norwegian Wood come to mind immediately. Would you include Doctor Robert ?

      I don't think that Doc Robert was dispensing alcohol.

      But I would add "Rocky Raccoon" ("the doctor came in/ stinking of gin") and "Her Majesty" ("bellyful of wine")

      Do we count prominent covers? ("Rock and Roll Music" by Chuck Berry).

    "When I'm Sixy-Four" mentions "bottle of wine."

    Seven out of nine right off the bat!

    Would you include Doctor Robert ?

    I would not.

    Do we count prominent covers?

    We do (which is why I specifically said "songs sung by the Beatles" rather than "Beatle songs").

    Only two to go. Here's a hint (release order)...

    2. Rock and Roll Music - "Drinking home brew from a wooden cup"
    3. I Don't Want to Spoil the Party -  "I've had a drink or two and I don't care"
    4. Norwegian Wood - "I sat on the rug, biding my time, drinking her wine"
    5. When I'm Sixty-Four - "Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?"
    6. I'm So Tired - "I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink?"
    7. Rocky Raccoon -  "The doctor came in, stinking of gin"
    8. Her Majesty - "I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a belly full of wine"
    9.

    "I Me Mine" flowing more freely than wine!

    • Jeff of Earth-J > Philip Portelli June 11, 2026 at 2:11pm

      Correct! One left.

      HINT: It also references wine.

    A Taste Of Honey - "kisses much sweeter than wine - da doo doo doo"

    • Philip Portelli > doc photo June 11, 2026 at 2:45pm

      I figured it was an early cover!

    • Jeff of Earth-J > doc photo June 11, 2026 at 5:19pm

      That's right! Here's the whole list:

      1. A Taste of Honey - "Tasting much sweeter than wine"
      2. Rock and Roll Music - "Drinking home brew from a wooden cup"
      3. I Don't Want to Spoil the Party -  "I've had a drink or two and I don't care"
      4. Norwegian Wood - "I sat on the rug, biding my time, drinking her wine"
      5. When I'm Sixty-Four - "Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?"
      6. I'm So Tired - "I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink?"
      7. Rocky Raccoon -  "The doctor came in, stinking of gin"
      8. Her Majesty - "I wanna tell her that I love her a lot, but I gotta get a belly full of wine"
      9. I Me Mine - "No one's frightened of playing it, everyone's saying it, flowing more freely than wine"

      Good job, folks.

      I took a Beatles quiz in college, and this was one of the questions. But I no longer had access to it, so when I thought about posting it, I had to recreate it. I didn't even remember how many answers there were, but it seemed to me it was in the high single digits, so when I got to nine I stopped. (There may be more but I don't think so.)
