Getting Better . Capitol thought it was to positive a song to broadcast. The Beatles didn’t care, though.

 

Why did Capitol almost ban Fixing A Hole as well?

They were writing their “Beatles Fan Fanfiction”, wherein they imagine and put onto paper their fantasized interactions (romantic or otherwise) between select Beatles fans. (The story about Ted Ronson and Sally McDougal and their budding romance being typical: they meet when they accidentally touch hands while simultaneously reaching for the last stereo copy of “Rubber Soul ” in the record bin at Bargain Bob’s.)

 

The complete lyric of “You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)” consists of only eight different words. Can you name them all?

No, Ringo never sang. What a silly notion, don’t you know that drummers never sing?

Martha was Arthur, George’s mop top. Paul was very fond of it, but didn’t want everyone to know, so he changed it’s name for the song.

ahdn_george_01a-hard-days-night-paul-4

Paul: “I LUV IT!!!”

George: “Stop touching my hair.”

What did Paul do when George got rid of Arthur?

They met at Cynthia’s 10th-anniversary school-graduation reunion. Yoko and Cynthia had attended classes together as teenagers, where Cynthia had once borrowed Yoko’s comb and forgotten to return it, leading Yoko to spend the next ten years biding her time until she could get her revenge.

How did John and Yoko turn a sackful of acorns into world peace?

Easy. They first ate them and later donated them to the National Trust.

What was Yoko’s reaction when she listened to the Beatles music for the first time?

Oh god, the thought of Please Please Me and Misery with Yoko doing a wailing backup vocal.

Actually, I was more into Mary Travers.

On the iconic Please Please Me album cover, the cameraman happened to catch the Beatles as they were looking down off a balcony.  What were they looking at?

They were actually trying to dodge Pete Best, who was throwing spears at Ringo from below.

What happened when Pete ran out of spears?

The same thing forwards, except all the dialogue and song lyrics are clues to Paul’s death…

What did George say about Pattie Boyd’s marriage to Eric Clapton?
