I think vanilla Beatles was the winner here.
DRC Madness #31 - I Can't Believe It Wasn't A Top 40

That's fine. I choose to factor-in the dozen other charting Beatles' songs that it was competing with.
20 years from now, today's teens will be on here debating why a song from Drake, Taylor or Ed Sheeran wasn't a top 40 and the reason will be "Drake and Taylor released an album on the same day. They both had 21 tracks. So two of those 42 songs had to be below #40!"
Except that every song from each album they release fills up the top 20, so that doesn't happen anymore.
I think we're saying the same thing. Two 21-track albums get released on the same day and fill the top 42. Therefore 2 didn't make the top 40. And there's the controversy in a debate 20 years from now.
Well, they did have hit songs like All My Muffins, She's Got A Pickle To Ride, All You Need Is Lunch, and I Want To Hold Your Ham.
Gary Owens (1934-2015), longtime Los Angeles DJ, voice actor and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In announcer, once suggested a fun game to play: substitute the word "lunch" for "love" in song titles – and one of the titles he came up with was All You Need Is Lunch. It is nice to see that Gary's zany playful spirit is alive and well in Mister Hectic.
ROUND 9 ♫ THE FINAL COUNT-ROUND ♫
Which song is most shocking that it charted, but never made the top 40?
Beatles "All My Loving"
Romantics "What I Like About You"

So Panini Lane and Happiness Is A Warm Gumbo will still work.
Cool.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Of course, I'm gonna go with the legitimate choice:
Romantics "What I Like About You"
It's interesting to note that their later hit, "Talking in Your Sleep", was such a big hit at #3, that it lifted the horrid "One in a Million" into the top 40. Ironic that one made it, but "What I Like..." didn't.
