The "name that tune" series with a twist. Can you reconstruct the original lyric after translation through half a dozen languages and identify the song?
Thank you!! I think what helped me the most was my language research skills. When I saw your hint this morning, I went down the rabbit hole of trying to find a list of their continental Europe top 5 songs but it was a mess as you can imagine. That took me twenty minutes and led me nowhere 😅
I didn’t think about it for the rest of the day. Just now, on a cigarette break, I was curious to see if I could get it from the language side (which is what I should have done in the first place). I googled “Beatles songs with the word family tree”: nothing. “Beatles songs with the word genealogy”: nothing per se but potential rabbit hole with family topics. So I then decided to simplify “Beatles songs with the word tree”. Only one, according to Google, and a late 60s one, so I thought it must be the one. I skimmed through the lyrics and… voilà! 😅
Ok I think I got it. Strawberry Fields Forever. Lyric in question:
No one I think is in my tree
I mean, it must be high or low
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad
AH. MAY. ZING!!!
Gold Star for Andy! Congratulations!!
So how did you get there and how long did it take you?

Still stuck. Lol.
I'm sad to see this series end, but you're sure finishing it on a strong note!
Hint! Hint! Hint please! 🤩
If Brad is not getting it, considering the era when it was released, we’re all ceremoniously and irreversibly FUNKED 😅

Still stumped, gotta tell you. Family tree?! This is incredibly tough.
