From 1964 to 1970, thirteen songs use it. It sits thickest on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, two of its twelve tracks. The first is 'Kansas City / Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!' and the last 'Maggie Mae'. More of them come from 1967 on than from the first four years, ten against two. Paul owns the singing here, nine of the thirteen, two for John, and the two of them together on two. McCartney wrote eight of the thirteen, including 'When I'm Sixty-Four' and 'Rocky Raccoon', 9% of his songs against 3% of Lennon's. On 'Back in the U.S.S.R.' it is Cold War flip of Chuck Berry's homecoming song. On 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!' it is Imitates 1843 circus playbill prose. Among them, 'Michelle' is in F minor, one of only two of their recordings in that key.
