There was a correlation between the Beatles’ fame/success and what?

How much fatter they got. Ringo said so in the Anthology.  a-hard-days-night-ringo-10

Which track which was Only A Northern Song  and sung by George did the Beatles record during ‘Pepper’ but wasn’t released until the ‘Yellow Submarine ‘ album (if stuck the answer is in the emboldened text)?

Wally Russell, nicknamed the Walrus. It was a running joke. Played drums for the Beatles for three nights in September 1960 when Pete was working out how to play the triangle in tune.

On March 18, 1967 (the when) John Lemon was at Disneyland (the where) for the opening of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. He loved it so much, he sang it’s theme song all day long. 

This attracted Yoho Ono as she thought he was calling her name (the why). The rest, as they say, is history. Or, at the very least, a Fractured Fairy Tale.

Why did Paul switch from guitar to playing bass?

Because he secretly hated playing guitar and thought that playing bass would be easier. 

 

What planet were the Beatles born on, and did they spend the rest of their existences to this date on that same planet?

John and George were from Jupiter, Paul is from Pluto, and Ringo (obviously) was from Saturn.  They all immigrated to Earth.

The 1967 Scottish Cup final between Celtic and Aberdeen where William Wallace scored a double for Celtic. Polythene Pam was one of the nicknames the players gave him.

 

In April 1964 where did John and Brian go on holiday and what did they do?

Moscow, USSR. They had tea at the Kremlin. The tops of the orthodox churches in Moscow were the inspiration for the song “Glass Onion “. While on holiday there, Lennon saw how the other half lived.

Which Beatle hitchhiked with Paul and where did they go?

Originally it was to be a double album, but none of the eleven originals Ringo wrote especially for the album were used, including his psychedelic percussion instrumental masterpiece “Chess is a Mess” (featuring George on marimba, Paul on prepared piano, John tap dancing in football cleats, a 40-piece orchestra on tambourine, Mal Evans on spoons, Neil Aspinall on knives, George Martin impatiently tapping his wristwatch through a Leslie and a backwards flanged-and-reverbed drum part Ringo played with his feet alone whilst smoking and pouring tea from a rainbow-painted pot resting on a chessboard). Other titles included “Try My Life”, “Sun Can’t Get Any Sleep”, “What?!”, “I Stole Yer Shoes” and “Marjorie Biscuit’s Home”.

“I Saw Her S – – – – ing There” ?

‘I Saw Her Sweating There’ – written after a particularly hot Liverpool afternoon session in the Cavern.

 

Why was the submarine yellow and not green, red, purple or any other colour.

It was a subtle statement that

yellow lives matter

What mode of transportation did the Beatles use to get to America?

Because they refused to change their song title from “Back in the U.S.S.R” to “Back in the Paraguay”.

 

Why did John love Ob-la-di Ob-la-da so much?

Because he knew that he was Molly whilst Yoko was Desmond; Paul switched the genders to fool listeners so they wouldn’t realise.

 

Which record producer was hired by John to complete work on what became the ‘Let It Be ‘ album and why wasn’t it George Martin?

It was a joint effort between Butch Vig and Rick Rubin.  Of course, Butch Vig was thirteen years old and Rick Rubin was five years old at the time, so they couldn’t do it alone.  George Martin was too busy stamp collecting to pick up the phone.

 

How many free pairs of Sketchers did Ringo receive as part of his contract?
