I disagree with a lot of your post, but you deserve kudos for putting your back into it, so I won't hold it against you

Particularly this bit. Hello Goodbye's easily one of my favourites from Magical Mystery Tour, not because it's vapid bubblegum pop, but just because the melody, chorus refrain and that weird little guitar effect are all great in my books, enough so that the fact that the lyric's effectively just McCartney juggling two words around takes a back seat. I absolutely love Blue Jay Way as well.
