YESTERDAY was never released as a single in the UK
YESTERDAY famously came to McCartney in a dream. For several days he was convinced that he had subconsciously plagiarized the melody. Eventually George Martin convinced him that he had not - later musicologist would point to the influence of Ray Charles but YESTERDAY is clearly a McCartney original.
Finding words proved a lot trickier. The working title was ‘Scrambled Eggs’ and the opening couplet unpromising :
Scrambled eggs/Oh how I love your legs.
