    Getting Better vs When I'm 64 - a lot of Sgt Pepper leaves me cold. Getting Better is alright, 64 is annoying.
    And I Love Her vs Got to Get You Into My Life - both good tunes, I love the bit at the end of GTGYIMYL where it goes psychedelic ("I was alone...)
    It Won't Be Long vs For No One - as in round one, love the call and response in IWBL

    Group N

    Helter Skelter vs I'll Follow the Sun - Helter Skelter sounds like nothing else in their catalog.
    Savoy Truffle vs Girl - I'm probably the only person who'll vote for George's weird desert-themed song, there's something about it I like (possibly the ultra-compressed production)
    Carry That Weight vs All You Need is Love - not much between these two.

    Savoy Truffle to go all the way in a major shock outcome to this competition?

    It might beat Girl but it could be against a lot of heavy hitters in the next round. It would depend on what song it is drawn against, should it get through this round. If it did manage to get past the next round, I believe the round after will be the furthest that it will get. At that stage, it will be all heavy hitters.

    The “popular” vote, ugh!

    I really enjoy Savoy Truffle, the verse and brass (?) section leading into the odd chorus with the higher vocals, all supreb.

    Girl, with what I think is an acoustic twelve stringed guitar, has a 'busker wearing a beret outside a French cafe feeling'; a romantic, sugary yet lovelorn loveable melody, but it loses out here to the more adventurous and sassy song.

    Most of these would have been knocked out by songs that were knocked out yesterday.

    Interesting point. There's a good chance then that most of the songs that get through from here will be knocked out by the songs that knocked out the other ones you referred to!

    Group M -

    Getting Better vs When I'm 64: Because it can't get no worse.

    And I Love Her vs Got to Get You Into my Life: And I Love Her is fantastic, GTGYIML is just alright.

    It Won't Be Long vs For No One: For No One is first rate real depressing shit. It's great.

    Group N -

    Helter Skelter vs I'll Follow The Sun: Helter Skelter is a bit of a mad one, so it gets my vote here.

    Savoy Truffle vs Girl: I said it during round one that Savoy Truffle is a low key classic, with lots of little elements to like about it. I do like Girl quite a bit as well though too - very cold and weirdly menacing number it is - so I'd be alright with it going through as well, but Savoy Truffle edges it.

    Carry That Weight vs All You Need is Love: Carry that Weight is fine, but it's really just a part of a bigger whole, so I'll vote for AYNIL... what an acrynom.

    There's a pun in there too.
