The “you” in the title is Ringo.

John and Paul both did. That’s why they wrote the song ‘Wait ‘.

Ringo got a hole in his shoe whilst drumming one day in the studios and said “Oh heck!! A hole in me rubber sole!”. John and Paul heard this and went off to write a song together, thankfully it was ditched after a few hours of recording but the phrase stuck and a few years later when in need of an album title Ringo reminded them of it. The track itself was deemed so awful they sent the lyrics anonymously to Pete Best to record and then had an EMI operative burn the tape reel of their own recording outtake disaster.

Why did Paul throw Ringo out of his house when he came to visit in 1970?

Yes – Among the bonus tracks will be an extended version of Track 7, called She Said She Said She Said She Said .

What topping’s does Ringo like on his hot dogs?

Apple’s profit pile due to all the much loved, desired and required reissues and wonderful merchandise that is perfectly priced and necessary for any Beatles fan. Go now and check out the official store to see just what brilliant limited edition items you really should be spending your savings on.

 

Why does only Paul feature on the song ‘Yesterday ‘?

Because the others heard a rumor that Dick Rowe said it would never amount to anything.

What were some of the rejected song titles written by Ringo?

Because you see the Beatles were more focused in living in the moment rather than dwelling on the past and when Paul wrote the song they all thought it quite offensive and refused to participate. That is why the band broke up. Don’t let them tell you otherwise.

What was Mal doing when the Beatles were smoking pot with Bob Dylan?

Yes, it will feature the legendary lost semi-title cut, “Rev. Lover”, which is the backing track from “Eleanor Rigby ” with an alternate backwards vocal detailing the story of how Father McKenzie, her “Reverend lover”, murdered Eleanor Rigby and buried her in the churchyard when she threatened to expose their affair. The track was left off the album at the last minute, after the “more popular than Jesus” controversy, for obvious reasons.

”I’m The Best (Pete, Pete, Where Are You Now? a-hard-days-night-paul-11)’, ‘Paul!! Get Off My Feckin’ Drums!!’, ‘More Bloody Chess’, ‘InKleined (Why Aren’t You)’ and it’s follow-up ‘DeKleined. Where’s My Money You Lousy Cheap Suited Crooked B*****d’.

Outside with his pottery wheel making the pots. 

 

What was the Beatles reaction the first time they heard the Rolling Stones album ‘Their Majesty’s Satanic Request’?

They deliberately ignored it for years, until final collectively listening to it in April of 1970, captivated; and after realizing that they could never approach its brilliance, decided it was pointless to continue as a group. 

 

Why was “Martha My Dear ” banned from the public airwaves?

It’s my song and I want to keep it to myself. a-hard-days-night-paul-11

Zig enquired

The Beatles’ estate, since the band as a unit had already died. 

Why does John feel fine?

Pete Best wailing “Why did they take Ringo??!!!!!!!! I was the best drummer at the Star-Club. Tell me. Someone tell me why?”

 

Did John ever get told why his girl cried and lied to him? If so what was the reason?
