Should there be another ‘y’ in there?

Is it Ooh then I suddenly see you?

If yes it’s a good line I was so confused because of the ‘Ooh’. Thaught it has to be ‘And’ all the time…paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

Edit: I’ve just seen this only works if HappyHaggis was right about the two ‘y’…

You are close, @Martha. By ONE LETTER.

Oh yes. I forgot the other “Y”

Ohh then I suddenly see you? If so, that’s very unlucky for Martha!

If that was right, then another ‘h’ was needed. I thought Martha was spot on, I must admit, that’s what I thought it was too. The lyrics I’ve got seem to agree with Martha. It’ll be interesting to see the correct answer.

Would it be ok for Martha to be declared the winner of this round since the extra h wasn’t put in place when the h was guessed?

If I’m right, I was going to suggest Martha be declared the winner.

Thank you all threeheartheartheart, let’s see what BackintheUSSR says.

I’m feeling slightly uncomfortable right now because I’ve got the impression Happy Haggis knew the line before me and was just confused by the missing ‘y’ which I didn’t see at the beginning.

@Martha there’s nothing to feel uncomfortable about, I could have said what I thought it was, but didn’t. I agree completely that you should go next. 

As an aside, does anyone have a website that has the definitive lyrics for Beatles songs? I went to a couple yesterday and they both had ‘ooh’ for the current challenge. I know a lot of these sites are way off the mark, bordering on laughable at times, so am curious about the ‘go to’ site for reliable information.

AZLyrics is usually very good. MetroLyrics isn’t bad either. Though I trust my ear more than the online lyrics. 

Avoid Google Play Lyrics at all costs! So many mistakes it’s not funny!!

Thanks @The Hole Got Fixed good to know. They both refer to ‘ooh’ so clearly, this is a bit confusing. a-hard-days-night-george-9

One time I looked up the lyrics to John Lennon ‘s Beff Jersey, and google play said that the lyrics were the lyrics to My Mummy’s Dead . No joke, I have a screenshot.

I think a number of these sites run along the same lines as wiki and anyone can write whatever they like!

For hangman I default to my personal database of lyrics. If I have to look it up to make sure its right i’ll do a dofferent lyric.

As @BackInTheUSSR hasn’t visited this thread for a while, could @Martha perhaps start a new round?
