More than 2,200 version of Yesterday

At one time the Guinness World Record book claimed that Yesterday was the most covered song, wit more than 2,200 versions known to exist.

Since then, they retracted that claim, saying that "Summertime" from the opera Porgy & Bess hass more than 3,000 recorded performances (although this is quite normal since many of these performances were live recorded.

Even so, 2,200 different versions for Paul McCartney's Yesterday is a huge feat.
