Absolutely. Add to that some awesome vocals, a funny story, and a killer bassline, and you have what IMO is one of The Beatles finest moments.

I like Act Naturally, but I recognise it can be pretty bland. Funny tho.
Abstain from the second.

I do believe Act Naturally was your nomination

Sorry about the delay guys, had a rather big weekend.
Drive My Car defeats Act Naturally (8-3) & Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band defeats The Long and Winding Road (7-6) Next round: Misery (Please Please Me) v Lovely Rita (Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band & Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds (Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band) v Ticket To Ride (Help!)

Lovely Rita first up; it's a bit of a ditty, but a superior one. I love the line "Took her home, I nearly made it; sitting on the sofa with a sister or two".
Lucy second to make it a Sgt Pepper double. Has that gorgeous lysergic flickering effect they did so well & John's nonsense lyrics show a wry and peculiarly English intellence.

I find Lovely Rita incredibly annoying (sorry to disagree with you guys). Once again, for the second battle in a row, I have an opinion on both fights.
Misery Ticket to Ride Lucy nearly got my vote, but only for William Shatner's version.

Misery. Lovely Rita is yet another of the hundreds of lame nursery-rhyme-like Beatles tunes that any of The Wiggles could have written in 5 mins on the back of a napkin
