Merseybeat, just so I can return this question to being relevant to the Beatles.

 

Before being a Beatle, what was John Lennon ‘s job?

He used to be angry young man. He was paid one and one and one is three pounds, nineteen shillings, and tuppence every Sitarday to hide his head in the sand for nine hours a day, eight  days a week. Despite the excellent pay, that got old pretty quick.

Xi Jinping. The track was heavily political in origin (beating John’s ‘Revolution ‘ by a whole year) however the title was misheard and written as “She’s” where it was copied over for the album cover and record.

 

After the Beatles recording of ‘How Do You Do It ‘ went unreleased in 1962 which other Merseyside group took the song to #1 in the UK charts?

Eht Seltaeb. They were actually from the Middle East, but could play Merseybeat better than the Merseybeatles. 

 

Name one act, other than the Beatles, managed by Brian Epstein.

That Japanese supergroup Rory Tsunami & the Typhoons featuring Lingo Stall on drums.

How did the Magical Mystery Tour come to an end?  We never saw that in the movie.

Paul got tired of the project and just walked away…like Forrest Gump when he stopped running.

How many unoccupied seats were on MMT bus? Who was supposed to be in them but didn’t show?

This thread fell asleep, lads! 

Ahhh Girl whispered into the darkness 

How many unoccupied seats were on MMT bus? Who was supposed to be in them but didn’t show?

There were exactly 33 & 1/3 unoccupied seats. As there had been 38 seats altogether, only the Beatles showed up… and Ringo took up two thirds of a seat with his nose. 

 

What is the true source of the infamous ‘happy’ quote, long falsely attributed to John  Lennon?

Some fourteen-year-old on the Internet who thinks they’ve figured life out but haven’t.

 

Did the Beatles ever really exist?  Some guy on the Internet thinks that they didn’t.

He’s right. The Beatles didn’t exist and therefore neither does this thread; I’m not even typing this post as it doesn’t exist so who knows what you’re reading. Nothing is real.

 

Where does The Long And Winding Road lead to?

It is the road you take when you are on a Magical Mystery Tour . I always thought that it went everywhere and nowhere, but apparently all roads lead to Rome, so …

What do The Beatles and The Rutles have in common?

The “les”.

The Beatles were British where they use the metric system.  So why didn’t John sing “Please don’t spoil my day, I’m kilometers away”?

Because John didn’t speak English… he spoke Scouse. 

 

What type of precipitation was the song Rain concerned with?

It had a pain in the neck from being too high strung. Too much fretting.

In what European city did the Beatles first make their mark?

With silver hammers, that’s where the inspiration came from for Maxwell’s Silver Hamer.

 

What film did the Beatles go and watch during the recording of ‘Birthday ‘?

The home video from Sean Lennon’s fifth birthday. 

 

How many years were the Beatles in their lineup of John, Paul, George, and Ringo musically active?

64 years. This is the reason why they put out so many songs and evolved so much in the short period of time which we perceive them to have been active in. Time actually ran differently for them.

Why was SPLHCB such an different album for the time?
