Desmond and Molly Jones.  Third verse ponders who will pick up the rice since Eleanor Rigby kicked the bucket.

What tasty delight came in a package of Beatles trading cards?

Ready made Instant Whip – available in four flavours but due to a mix-up in the factory nobody knew what the flavours actually were even after taste tests. No one realised that the cards would be ruined by this tho they are now very valuable to collectors of both Instant Whip and Beatles Trading Card.

 

How many times does Ringo actually sing ‘I Wanna Be Your Man ” in the song “I Wanna Be Your Man ‘?

He didn’t ever sing it– Mick Jagger took the lead vocal.

 

 What song did John write for Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas in 1963?

Countless times as they never actually recorded inside Abbey Road studios– it was just a myth started by the Abbey Road cover. 

 

When was Can’t Buy Me Love released?

In America, I think it was about 8:00 PM.  The employees had Capitol didn’t want to miss the latest episode of Gilligan’s Island.

In A Hard Day’s Night , how did the Beatles get outside the train to tease the stuffy train passenger and get back on the train while it was still moving?

Optical illusion. The train was not moving – just the Earth – and The Beatles were running/cycling in place, similar to how one would on a treadmill. Of course it was in incredibly slow motion with the film speeded up at a high rate during editing.

What card game were The Beatles playing just before they played ‘I Should Have Known Better ‘?.

One in which John lost a great deal of money to Ringo, hence his singing the song.

 

Which characters do the Beatles play in AHDN ?

Séance On A Wet Afternoon. Apparently, movies about day parts were popular in 1964.

How many Beatles songs were about underwater transportation?

All of them. They loved the subject, hence their writing so many love songs about underwater transportation.

The one who also wrote the song Scrambled Eggs. Clue=it wasn’t the one who wrote I’m So Tired . In fact, the one who wrote and sang I’m So Tired almost vetoed the release of Here Comes The Sun . He didn’t want the sun to come.

What did the man eat and donate to the National Trust?

Till There Was You . (In actual point of fact, it was only four songs away– not long at all.) 

 

How many pairs of glasses did John wear at one time?

Three. One over his eyes, one over the ones over his eyes as a back-up and one… (you can fill in the rest yourself).

 

For the Beatles third movie to be filmed for release in 1966 the Beatles were at one time considering making a film of which Sherlock Holmes mystery? What was the reason for the film not being made?

The Adventure of the Speckled Band.  It didn’t get made because, as mentioned by @Beatlebug earlier, Paul isn’t fond of snakes.

 

What Beatles song was written about a dog?

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds . The Sky was the name of a popular high-society garden in the heart of London. It was turned into a parking garage in the 1970’s. The “diamonds” were the result of the way the sun glinted off the balls during the game. John climbed one of the garden walls and perched on top to watch a game once…the song is about that experience.

Paul sang this line in Hey Jude , “Take a _____ _____ and make it better.”

500 miles and John would walk 500 more just to be the eggman that walked a thousand miles in no particular direction.

What is a flange and why did John like it?
