The opening notes of Beethoven's fifth symphony spell out "V" in morse code... BUT this is just a coincidence, as Beethoven was already dead by the time Samuel Morse invented his cipher.

Also about "Yesterday" - Paul McCartney called it Scrambled Eggs before coming up with the infinitely better title of Yesterday.

"Hey Jude" was written by McCartney for Lennon's son Julian as he was going through the pain of Lennon getting divorced from his mother. It was originally titled "Hey Jules".
