Here are my song suggestions:
David Cook: "What You're Doing" or "Day Tripper"
Kristy: "If I Fell"
Archuleta: "Paperback Writer" or "Girl"
Castro: "Norweigan Wood," "Yesterday" or "If I Fell"

Hernandez: "Things We Said Today" or "No Reply"
Michael: "And I Love Her" or "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"
Brooke: "I'll Follow the Sun"

Hi IdolWonderer!
Unfortunately the bulk of those songs were released after '66 so they won't qualify. I had the same problem with my initial list and it was painful to have to change it since I much prefer The Beatles later stuff. Also I don't think songs they covered (like "I Saw Her Standing There") will qualify since they weren't written by Lennon/McCartney. ::sigh::
Well, I'll be dipped. How'd I miss the part about "prior to 1966?" I saw you said there were only 25 to choose from, no repeats, so that should make it really challenging.
Thanks for the update.
So obviously they ended up making some exceptions on the time period, but Nigel did say at the filming that they had a very short list to choose from. And I swear I thought "I Saw Her Standing There" was written by someone else.
