Pete Best trying to persuade the country he really could drum. Sadly for Pete a US tv host asked him to play and that opened the door for the phenomenon that was Ringo. 

 

What was the content of the message the Beatles sent to Imelda Marcos after they returned to the UK following being chased out of the Philippines be her shoe elves?

“Up yours, Marcos!”

 

Which Beatle was recently spotted in costume at a Star Trek convention and how did he  (or she) react when being found out to be a Beatle? 

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

Yoko, and she pretended she had never heard of John Lennon before… but I knew it was her, even despite the Chewbacca costume… 

 

What Beatles song should you play on Monday mornings?

Manic Monday. The Beatles original demo is easily found online.

 

Why did the Beatles need ‘Help !’?

The fans almost trampled them to bits in their first film:

so they needed Help ! in their second. 

 

How many films did the Beatles make?

25 if you include the hugely successful Carry On Singing Iguanas series, but that was really a solo John project.

Name all the songs Paul wrote about cars but pretended they were about girls.

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

They went to watch Jean Seberg in ‘Breathless’ but when they ordered hotdogs with onions, 2 colas and a large popcorn were charged 14 deutschmarks. They felt ripped off so decided to burn the place down.

 

Where did the Beatles tour with their Magical Mystery show? Why was it stopped after 2 weeks?

They went all Across The Universe but after a fortnight their hyperdrive broke down, and no one knew how to fix it (seeing as the only Harrison there was no Han Solo). 

 

How many wookies did the Beatles take on tour, and what did they do?

Just one. Chewbacca toured with the boys and acted as a double for Ringo. The use of doubles was essential as they acted as decoys to help The Beatles get in and out of venues undetected. Also, if Ringo could not turn up for a photo shoot, Chewbacca filled in admirably as evidenced below.

 

What Lennon/McCartney song is the least covered and why?

His *ahem* relationship with Paul. He didn’t like to talk about that, no indeed. a-hard-days-night-john-5 

 

How did George feel about school? Did he enjoy it?

He thought it was okay although Breakfast In America remained his favorite Supertramp track.

What would Paul get after drinking a Red Bull?

A can of lager and a kebab ; it was his favourite way to end a date and schmooze the lady. This “dinner” was the one Paul mentioned in ‘Lovely Rita ‘.

 

What did John claim was the defining moment during the Beatles years in the 1970 Rolling Stone interview?

The moment John’s hair became a centimetre longer than George’s. 

 

How many inches long was George’s hair in 1964?.

Was this before or after his haircut which he had the day before that press conference where he said “I had one yesterday”?  I doubt even George knew because they use the metric system in England.

We know the Beatles had concerts at Shea Stadium and Candlestick Park.  Why didn’t they ever perform at American League ballparks?

They were banned after Ringo was asked to throw the ball at the beginning of a game and he knocked out the PA system after hitting it with a drumstick.

 

Before the end of The End what message can be heard backwards?

Not really a message, but you can hear them playing “rock-paper-scissors“.

Where did john buried Paul?
