Approximately 6.48623 after factoring in times crossing Abbey Road and doing peace bed-ins.

Name at least one sad song Jude made better.

Eleanor Rigby . He changed the lyrics so that Eleanor Rigby and Father MacKenzie end up together.

He turned water into wine and turned Ringo into a songwriter.

That’s a trick question.  He had a citizenship in three countries, but only one in each.

Why didn’t we see anybody rattle their jewelry per John’s request?

Unbeknownst to John, there was a charity drive for struggling musicians right before the concert and people donated all their jewelry to the cause. He felt much remorse for saying that line once he found out the truth. Poor John.

We know how The Beatles found America. How did they find Australia?

He donated it to science. 

 

In 1960, the Beatles had three guitar players and one bass player. Why did they switch from this format?

They wanted a bigger bass sound, so they had to get three bass players and one guitarist.

Trick question: It was actually a 12 string Bickenracker – a cheap knockoff that had only 11 strings.

How many grooves are there on the Penny Lane side of the double A-side 45 RPM single?

Only one.  They could only fit one song per side.

 

Jimi Hendrix planned on forming a supergroup with Paul McCartney and Miles Davis.  Why didn’t it happen?

It depends on what edition you buy of the album. All Beatles albums have been released in the following formats.

  • 1 x cassette/LP = 12 tracks
  • 2 x cassette/LP (World-wide bar Belgium) = 15 tracks (special edition)
  • 2 x LP (regardless of being a 2 track single or 35 track release) (premium edition)
  • 1 x CD reissue (#1) = 16 tracks
  • 1 x CD reissue (#2) = 17.5 tracks (one half of track may or may not be canon so who the hell really knows if its 17 or 18 – 17.5 is the compromise #)
  • Uber-deluxe (2 x CD, 1 x double length cassette, 3 x LP, official numbered paper clip, glossy 287 page book, DVD & replica artwork of a different album because they printed the wrong damn thing and presumed folk would think it was a collectors item and not bother returning it but they did and so Apple had to do it again but haven’t yet gotten around to it but will if Paul, Yoko, Ringo and Olivia all agree) = 39 tracks (but one track is repeated by accident so is that actually 38?)

George Martin famously fell of his stool upon hearing the Beatles ‘Please Please Me ‘ after they had recorded it and sued Brian Epstein for bodily damages. What was the outcome of the court case?

I said 

How many grooves are there on the Penny Lane side of the double A-side 45 RPM single?

To which, Necko replied
Only one.  They could only fit one song per side. 
  
 

One is correct – even if the side had 5,609 songs on it, there is only one long continuous groove. That is one of my favorite “bar bets”.

“I’ll bet I can tell you how may grooves there are on one side of _________ without ever having seen it.” The answer is always one.

He is to receive royalties from all of The Beatles canon released after 1970. To this day, arguments are being heard as to just how much that settlement should be worth – quite a lot or nothing at all. (I’m a real mixer, yes?)

How many keyboard players name Billy Preston appeared on songs recorded by The Beatles?

Only One, and his name was Kanye West. (I’m a real mixer too!) 

 

Which of Paul’s grandfathers who appeared in A Hard Day’s Night was described as being ‘very clean’?

Only one of them appeared in A Hard Day’s Night , so he would have to be the clean one.

Where did the Blue Meanies live before they attacked Pepperland ?
