George. He wasn’t getting to sing his songs on the records and had to sing somewhere.

 

Before Ringo joined the band which soon to be famous drummer auditioned for the position but was dismissed for having too small a nose?

Pete Best. All the others were jealous dont you know and all 45,000 fans in Liverpool only ever had eyes for Pete. He was also the reason they got the audition at Decca, the recording contract at EMI, a shot at the BBC, why John, Paul and George got into music in the first place, wrote all the songs from 1957 to 1970, secretly recorded all Ringo drum tracks to this day, tutored George Martin in the history of Music, and advised Brian on how to break them in America. pete-best a-hard-days-night-ringo-12

 

How many fingers does a Beatle have?

Scrambled Eggs

Heat a pan on a medium heat

Add some milk and two eggs 

Mix until eggs are well scrambled beat.

 

Scrambled Eggs

Best with two slices of brown bread

Nicely Toasted with a little butter spread

Oh how i love Scrambled Eggs

 

Cut the toast in half when done and add to a plate

Then add the eggs, you’re done,

theres no need to wait.

I said

Cut the toast in half when done and add eggs to a plate

theres no need to wait.

 

Scrambled eggs

Washed down with a steaming hot cup of tea

That’s the ideal breakfast for me

Oh how I love my scrambled eggs.

Sadly John preferred his eggs poached so Paul changed the lyrics. The original lyrics first appeared in a photo in Jane Asher’s 1993 cook book.

 

How many takes of ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer ‘ did Paul get the others to record before being satisfied?

 

Note: I was answering ewe2’s question, i’m not doing lyrics for ‘Fixing A Hole ‘.

I’m plugging a hole where the lizards got in
To stop Johnny from wandering off a roof topppp

He thinks they’ve all come to rule us all
I’ll stop Johnny from wandering off a roof topppp

And it really has to stop I’ve had enough of it
Goes on and on with it, goes on and on
Silly John will run around, he worries me
and won’t stop writing songs about iguanas at my dooorrr

I’m taking the time for a number of chains
To stop Johnny from wandering off a roof topppp

Plugging a hole where the lizards got in
He’s singing iguana songs again
Oh nooooooo

37 takes on Maxwell. They all enjoyed it so much they did 137 on Winding Road (hence the Long part of the title).

Where did the Long (and Winding) Road lead to?

There are seven levels: 

1. Get in bed with guitar, paper, and pot. 2. Ring for tea. Lots of tea. Indian tea. And biscuits. 3. Smoke a joint. 4. Bash at random chords until verse 1 is arrived at. 5. Ring Paul up to help with the middle eight, because John never has his middle eights. 6. Drink tea and wait for Paul. 7. Paul having arrived, finish the song. 

 

Which Beatle was the best singer?
