Bye Real Ringo. The song is actually about Ringo’s replacement by Pete Best’s ghost from the future who took Ringo’s soul.

What was John’s preferred method of cooking glass onions?

Stuart Sutcliffe played the bass. The Beatles had quite a time of it convincing Astrid Kircherr to let them bring him back to life, hence the altercation.

The Abbey Chain Armoury song. 

 

Is Paul dead?

November 5th, 1961. Astrid was out collecting cats for a collage she later exhibited as “Cats Stuck To Canvas In Patterns”, so she couldn’t attend.

What role did hats play in the making of the Help ! movie?

The screenwriters thought up the whole plot whilst standing upon their heads, an activity which required special hats for comfort.

It’s been A Hard Day’s Night
Has been a-singin’ all day long
It’s been A Hard Day’s Night
My head is filled up with that song.
That song is drivin’ me mad,
I think I’m gonna be sad,
And I don’t feel all right.

 

How many of the Beatles were bassist penguins?

2 tho neither admitted it publicly and only those with outsight can be sure of the exact details of who was and who is.

 

Before John learned to be a rhythm guitar what instrument did he hope to turn into?

He wanted to be a rock vocalist. Sadly, despite massive effort on his part, Paul had him beat in the screamer section. John was left to do the ballad-crooning. 

 

How many Beatles does it take to diagnose whether or not a light-bulb needs changing?

Glen Michael. He got the job after the Beatles saw him presenting ‘Glen Michael’s Cartoon Cavalcade’ on television whilst up in Scotland. Ringo particularly was a huge fan and was guest presenter in 3 episodes in 1968 hence his absence from the recording sessions for ‘Back In The U.S.S.R.’ and ‘Dear Prudence ‘.

 

Who controversially won the egg and spoon race between the four Beatles whilst they were filming ‘Magical Mystery Tour ‘? What was the controversy over?

It was Paul, he cheated by telling John his egg was hatching into an iguana. They all punished him by beating him with their spoons to the tune of Your Mother Should Know sung delberately out of tune:

Let’s all get up and beat Paul with spoons
Because he cheated in our egg and spoon race!
What a big cheaty cheat cheat cheat is Paul,
The Beatles say no, to cheaty Paul no!

Hit him again!
Lift up your spoons and beat me a song
Make sure you hit the cheat that we know as Paul
Though he was Paul before he cheated like a cheat,
He’s Cheaty Paul now, He’s Cheaty Paul now.

…you get the idea. Paul was very very sorry and apologized and they forgave him and they all went for a splendid afternoon tea of cake biscuits and lashings of ginger beer.

How many buses did they go through to film MMT and why?

In the film, they went through seventy because the Indian cult people from Help ! kept chasing them out of the buses. Into a bus, chased by servants of the dread goddess Khalifi, out of the bus, into another bus, the process begins again. As you can imagine this was quite strenuous stuff for four fairly inactive smokers– which is why they only went through one bus and repeated the footage over. 

 

It’s been established that the working title of Yesterday was Scrambled Eggs. What was the working title of Scrambled Eggs?

Omelette – Jane messed up brunch and Paul was served Scrambled Eggs. This resulted in the change of sentiment in the lyrics as Paul was really looking forward to his ham, cheese and mushroom omelette.

 

What was the secret message each of the Beatles gave to Brian to assure him when he called that they were tucked up nice and tight before 11:30pm?
