Before I saw the options I thought of Jane Asher!
Some great songs but hte clear winner for me is Eleanor Rigby.
Superbly constructed song from a brilliant album

Goin' with the sexiest of songs, Sexy Sadie. Also, I recommend to ANY fan of Beatles the Beatles Mono Box Set. The way the Beatles were supposed to be heard.

Voted for Michelle, though "Eleanor Rigby" is deeper, but she's not a girl in common sense I guess.

The concise storytelling and imagery of Eleanor Rigby makes it deserve my vote. I am glad to see it leading. What a great song!

Great idea for a poll! Sexy Sadie just to mix it up.

Yes, great idea.
I would have voted for Lady Madonna, but it's not in the list.
Eleanor Rigby is an excellent alternative, though.

Lady, even Madonna, isn't a girl at all.

Because she has a baby at her breast? Well, yeah, okay then. But but but... she's more girl to me than Sexy Sadie, who isn't a girl at all: it's a song about the Maharishi Bogus Yogi

If Yoko and Lady Madonna don't count as girls, why is Eleanor Rigby on the list?
Mary Jane isn't a girl either.
