(I’ve got a 13 in reserve, just in case nobody comes up with one. It might be difficult anyway even to get to a dozen. I won’t even give a hint of my backup 13 except to note that it will enjoy the latitude of a generous interpretation of “higher than sea level”

It’s the list-starter’s choice to specify whether or not solo references are welcome.
I’m sure there are 13 Beatles group references available (only three more to go) for this category anyway, so I suggest keeping to Beatles ‘group only’ for this interesting category, @Sea Belt.

@Sea Belt What do you think about doing this prompt again, but expanding the criteria to include solo song lyrics?
