For the longest time, the song "Yesterday" wasn't "Yesterday" at all, but what two words that McCartney used as a lyrical placeholder until he could finalize the song?

As described in Rolling Stone: "For a long time, McCartney couldn't get past the placeholder words 'Scrambled eggs/Oh, my baby, how I love your legs.' He finished the actual lyrics on a holiday with his girlfriend, actress Jane Asher, creating a frank poem of regret that he has called 'the most complete song I have ever written.'"
