Do you want to know a secret?

The Beatles, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, were the most popular pop group of the 1960s. Perhaps they were the most popular group ever. Between 1962 and 1970 they had 24 hit records in the British Singles Top 30. In 1964 the Top 5 records in the United States in one week were Beatles` records. In the mid-1960s a music critic wrote about the Beatles. She said the Beatles had a secret. Their songs were `always in the first and second person, never in the third person`.

`Third person` words are `he, his, him, himself, she, her, hers, herself, they, them, their, themselves, it, its, itself`. `Mine` is an example of a first person word, `yours` is an example of a second person word.
