In defense of <I>Hello/Goodbye</I>, there are few pop songs in the world that wouldn’t benefit from having eight bars of Lennon in the middle, but I have to say I do think the clever (silly yes, but still clever) overlapping call/response in the middle -- You say yes, I say no (I say yes but I may mean no) / You say stop and I say go (I can stay until it's time to go) – helps makes this Beatles worthy.
