I'm with Velvet. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" always catches me in the throat. If you never saw the tribute at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions, performed by Tom Petty, Prince, Stevie Winwood, Jeff Lynne, etc - you totally have to see it.
Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - YouTube

Runner up songs:
I Am the Walrus
A Day in the Life
The triple-punch: Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End

Is there anyone among us who can refrain from singing along to "Hey Jude"?

Not a single one. I will say though " McCartney and Lennon " were the talent...the other two especially Ringo Starr clueless.

Paul McCartney can play 25+ Instruments

You sir (or Ma'am) have no clue what you are talking about. Harrison wrote some of the Beatles best loved songs including "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Starr was a first class creative drummer. Listen to his work on "A Day In the Life" as an example. It's fine to have your own opinion on what songs you like and don't like, quite another to disparage successful and creative musicians as you have done.

I can play 14 instruments and I say you're wrong about the Beatles. I win.

I have to say "I Want To Hold Your Hand" because that started it all.

I like all things Beatles, and all things Cello, so combining the two is some kind of special!

I tend to like ballads, and McCartney and Lennon wrote some really good ones. "In My Life", "I Will" "And I Love Her", all come to mind. But the opening to "I Saw Her Standing There" gets my attention every time. I could not possibly pick a favorite, but I did prefer their earlier stuff.

I can remember when my son was in little league. I would go to his games to root for his team. My daughter (3 years younger) came with me. To assuage her boredom I would walk with her in the surrounding woods and I would sing her Beatles songs. I tried to teach her "Ob bla de Ob Bla Da". She got it eventually.
Thanks for reminding me of some great memories.

Any time any Beatles song is playing it is my favorite at that particular moment. I have tried to come up with my favorite song and I simply can't. It all depends on the mood, like when the sun comes out, "here comes the sun" would be appropriate for the moment. When our daughter was young she learned to play "let it be" on the piano, so that one will always be very special to us.

It's a tie for me between Paul McCartney - Helter Skelter & Back In The U.S.S.R. [HD] - YouTube. Hard to pick just one.
