John had his famous iguana period during the White Album in songs like Glass Iguana, Sexy Iguana, Happiness Is A Warm Iguana, Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Iguana. Eventually even George Martin noticed when John tried to get Iguana Revolution #9 past the boys and put his foot down, demanding that all iguana songs be renamed. Random nouns were put in a hat and John rewrote lyrics based on what was pulled out. But the iguana was still Paul.

What famous person (NOT iguana) did John write a song about, later changing the name?

What feeling did Paul have?

The feeling he’s being watched. Oh, wait… that’s Brian Wilson. Never mind. 

(DISCLAIMER: We here at Necko don’t condone making fun of the mentally ill. That was our evil twin that typed that. Shut up.)

Before settling on a blank white cover, what was the original design of the White Album cover?

A giant apple. You had to peal the cover (skin) off if you wanted to listen to the album but EMI thought there would be confusion and people might try and eat it.

 

Which George track was omitted from the White Album ?

‘Iguana Hold Your Hand’ – it was written about a former lover from art school not named Cynthia.

‘The Real Reason Why’ – a shame really, as it told of the real reason Pete was sacked. Now, the world will never know.

Face Biscuits. She really liked biscuits and took some with her whenever she went out. Paul made it sound more grisly than it was.

“Iguana Heaven?” suggested John hopefully. “NO, just heaven, silly”, retorted Paul. John wrote Mean Mr Iguana in retaliation until he was forced to change it again.

How many iguanaspeople turned up for the Hey Jude David Frost special?

How many of the songs that George wrote during the Beatletimes went onto his first post-Beatle solo album, All Things Must Pass

Exactly five. Beware of Iguanas, My Sweet Iguana, Banglaguana, Got My Mind Set On Iguanas, and Iguana.

John’s iguana stage rubbed off on him. He was able to fix the first two songs for the album. The third, while obviously true, wasn’t re-written until the 80’s. Banglaguana surfaced the next year with re-written, more meaningful lyrics. The last was recorded but can only be found on very rare bootlegs, most of which were set alight in a massive bonfire during the Iguana Rebellion of 1972.

(This iguana thing is fun!)

Who was Why Don’t We Do It In The Road written for?

The world to alert the world after the Maharishi allegedly (so i dont get sued) whispered it to one of the females in India. ‘WDWDITR’ was Paul’s ‘Sexy Sadie ‘.

 

What is the real inspiration of ‘Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds ‘?

Baby Lizards was a frightening photoshoot in which the Beatles were depicted enjoying a BBQ of fried iguanas, and most shockingly, Mexican beer! Capitol had it quickly changed to feature fried sausages and Budweisers but the controversy was already inflamed and led to the inevitable record-burnings. Lennon held a press conference where he explained his love for the iguana and no iguanas were hurt in the production of the photoshoot but acknowledged it was in “poor taste but the beer was great and now there’s all thisssssss”. Many Beatle historians date John’s iguana obsession to date from this period.

What are the purported backwards messages in Helter Skelter ?

No, Jesus expanded until he was bigger than them again so they called it a draw.

What song of George’s was rejected in 1967?

He offered ‘Bad Finger Boogie (The Real One)’ to Badfinger but they refused, saying they’d better become a band first. When they did, they took the name Badfinger in remembrance. The song later ended up on Ringo’s 98th solo album. 

 

Was All Things Must Pass George’s first solo album?

Everybody’s got something to hide except for me and my iguana! John stole the song and added a monkey.

 

Which Beatle is an iguana in disguise?

Eiffel Tower, Paris, in a concert called Eyeful of Beatles, in 1965. The Beatles later said it was the best-sounding gig in some time due to the great distance of screaming fans. Attempts to do a similar concert at the Empire State Building, New York in 1966 fell through due to the Iguana Photoshoot Scandal, and the discovery that John had been singing Iguana Be Your Man at concerts despite threats from everyone to stop.

Who was the pet Paul wrote a song about?
