I just discovered that you can clip YouTube segments, so I’ll try to use them to illustrate what I mean:

These are all I can think of at the moment.  Seems unique to Paul’s songwriting.

Nice work spotting that! 

Hello Goodbye ” is another one, with George(?) playing that 8-note ascending major scale during the refrains.

(And hmm, the coda of “Across The Universe ” also features a repeated 8-note octave ascent, but that one’s not a Paul song, of course…)

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Yes @vonbontee — Hello Goodbye , I’d forgotten that, and probably was Paul’s input.  When you clicked on my links, did they work in the sense that they led you to little snippets of a few seconds on a loop?  A friend told me another link I created for him the same way did not work for him but only played the entire song.

They did work correctly, @Sea Belt. It really helped to hear just the bit you want us to hear. Good job. I’m going to have to learn that trick.

That’s great news, thanks!  I’m still puzzled why the same links didn’t work for my friend via email — actually doubly puzzling because they worked for another email friend!  Oh well, at least they worked here!
