The working title for "Yesterday" was "Scrambled Eggs.

Yes, that’s real. McCartney wrote the melody first, and until he landed on the lyrics, he used “Scrambled Eggs” as a placeholder. The full line went something like “Scrambled eggs / Oh, my baby how I love your legs.”

It’s not just a funny trivia fact—it shows how songs get built. McCartney had the tune in a dream, woke up, played it on the piano, and needed dummy lyrics to remember the melody. “Scrambled Eggs” stuck for months until he finally found the right words.

So if you ever feel stuck naming a project, know that one of the most covered songs of all time started as breakfast.
