Viktor Hertz has created a series of posters depicting popular songs as pictograms. I thought it would be fun to try and guess the song titles. There are posters for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Iggy Pop, and Johnny Cash. I thought we'd start with The Beatles.

To give everyone a fair chance to make a guess, please guess only one song at a time, and wait till at least two other people have posted guesses before submitting another guess.

For reference, I've extracted each pictogram and numbered them:




The guesses submitted so far:

1 - I'll Follow the Sun10 - Magical Mystery Tour19 - Can't Buy Me Love

Yep.

I've got most of them but I'll wait a while to give people a chance before posting my guesses. The ones that I haven't figured out yet or I'm not sure of are 6, 9, 10, 13, 17, 21, 23, 24, and 26.

Update: I've got answers for all of them now, though I'm not certain about 13, 17, and 26.

Yeah, that was my guess too. The ticket is obvious, but I wasn't sure why it was torn and had a heart on it. I guess it's because the lyrics are about a guy whose girl has left him so he's broken hearted.
