You folks did quite well with the last trivia question I came up with,
"Can you name a song title which has been used on solo releases by two
different Beatles?"*.

Now try your hand at this one:

"Can you name a solo Beatles song that contains in its title the name
of ANOTHER solo song by the same Beatle?"

- Dr Strangemonde

HINT: The two songs have seven words and two words in their titles,
respectively.

*(A: "Let Me Roll It" is the name of a song by Paul McCartney, and of
one by George Harrison)

OOPS: I misremembered the earlier Q&A. so ignore what I said about it
above.

The current question remains in play:

I can think of a near miss. On the Apple Jam disc of All Things must
pass there was a title called "Out of the Blue," and on Lennon's Mind
Games there was a song called "Out the Blue."

I'll award you the points for that answer, since the actual question
did not specify the length of the song titles. However, the tunes we
were officially looking for were "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and
of course "Deep Blue", both by Mr. Geo. Harrison.

Ringo had a song called "Down And Out", and John had one called "Nobody
Loves You When You're Down And Out".

And John and Ringo both had songs called "Hold On".

This does not meet your 7 letter or 2 words, but Paul's "Woman", that
he gave to Peter and Gordon, and John's "Woman."

Everybody did Guru, but you know they *developed*, they discussed,
it's what it's all about. Sheesh.

I am aware that the original question specified a title within another
title, and one was two and the other was seven words long. But (like
Bhudda also pointed out), the question had already been answered, and
the thread is meandering onward in a slightly tangential manner.

For that matter, normal human interaction is not PR's strong point.

Sorry, you're wrong. I'd already read the parts of the thread where the
original question had been answered before I contributed my bits.

The thread was heading in two directions at the same time.
