In a set of trivia cards for trivial pursuit by Trivia-Sense they have
the question:
What were the original words for the title of the song Yesterday?
The answer they give seems weird at best. Does anyone know the answer?
I'll post the answer the card gives along with any answers I get
from the net.

I believe the song title was originally "Scrambled eggs". Paul had the
melody, but no words. When words were finally added a more fitting title was
choosen.
I hope someone else can back this one up. If they can't the egg may be on my
face... or the yolk could be on me :-).

Yeah. It was Scrambled Eggs. There was a very funny McCartney interview I heard once with him pretending to be working on the song, and crooningj "Scrrambled Eggs....la dah dee dee dee dah dah dahdah..."

It even appeared under that title (before the Beatles recorded it) on one of George Martin's instrumental albums. "I've Just Seen A Face" also appeared, under the title "Auntie Jin's Theme". (P. McC. actually had an Auntie Jin... see the lyrics of Wings' "Let 'Em In".) Andrew W. Rogers ...{harpo|ihnp4|ima|esquire}!inmet!andrew
