I know there are so many great ones, but if you could hear just one Beatles song for the rest of your life what would it be?

I would have to say Beatles - Yesterday.

Right now, if I was Manuel Noreaga, the US better not use Paperback Writer to try to get me out...actually, it might work, though...I'd probably die from joy...man, I love that song...I don't know why. :D

By far the best is the free as a bird song. It was the song they were last working on but never finished. It was released a few years ago when they had those big top Beatle's song sets. No other song even comes close to being as good.

But if you don't count that song (since it wasn't recorded with all 4 Beatles), Hey Jude, I want to hold your hand, and anything from Sargent Pepper are also good.
 

Hey Jude

This was originally written with the lyrics "Hey Julian" in reference to Julian Lennon.

Actually, it was "Hey Jules".

I am a Beatles freak. Asking me to pick a favorite song is like asking a father to pick his favorite child.

I have a hard enough time picking my favorite ALBUM. :D

My quick list:

Hey Bulldog
Helter Skelter
Why Don't We Do It In The Road
You're Gonna Lose That Girl
The second side of Abbey Road
Dear Prudence
Rain
For No One
Paperback Writer
I'm Down
Revolution
Rocky Raccoon

Damn, time to go make a Beatles CD. :D

The fact that you knew that it was written for Julian was good enough for me.

I just have read entirely too much about them.

Agreed.
I honestly can't pick just one.
 

Yes.

Edit;
No, sorry, that was when they wrote Twist and Shout.

I had a color TV by the time they wrote Hey Jude :)

No offense but no Beatle wrote Twist & Shout... it was written by Russell/Medley.
