Making some alternate history, she’s going to claim that instead of her breaking The Beatles up in 1970, it was Paul.
What is the name of the 27 minute song The Beatles released in 1967?

Carnival Of Dark. The song consists of all four Beatles muttering, searching for their instruments and bumping into each other in the dark after a power cut had occurred.
How exactly did George Martin and Geoff Emerick record this if there was no power?

Offline There was power, George Martin secretly removed all the lightbulbs while The Beatles weren’t looking.
Why did he do this?

Offline I don’t typically give out the right answers on this thread, but to hell with it, I’m going to give you guys the honest answer instead of the preferred wrong answer, I’m sorry if you don’t want to hear the truth, it’s not like I have to lie, so here’s the truth, no joke.
The Beatles 1966 US tour was not to promote their Revolver album, but rather their Yesterday And Today album, a common misconception among Beatles fans. As for why they didn’t play certain songs off that album, here’s an analysis:
Side A:
1. Drive My Car
Paul plays lead guitar, that’s the only good reason I could think of, this song would’ve been a great opener.
Reversed guitar solo that would be impossible to reproduce live.
3. Nowhere Man
They did.
Not sure, they could’ve easily played this song live.
5. Yesterday
They did.
They did on their last tour, for unknown reasons they switched Ringo’s song back to I Wanna Be Your Man .
Side B:
This song requires 3 guitars.
They did.
They did on their December 1965 UK tour, but for unknown reasons dropped from this tour’s setlist.
4. What Goes On
Same as Act Naturally .
5. Day Tripper
They did.
Why did Ringo Starr spontaneously combust while playing Helter Skelter during their 1975 reunion performance at the Royal Albert Hall?

They used the same setlist as on the tour of Germany, Japan and the Philippians and they weren’t promoting ‘Yesterday and Today’ for those shows. The most simple reason is they couldn’t be bothered rehearsing new songs, the music was getting more difficult to produce on stage to their own standards so they didn’t see the point of spending time on doing so.
Why would they choose to promote an album that had been out for 6 weeks over one that had been out for 4 days?

…anyways, Ringo did not spontaneously combust but spontaneously COMPOST. He was wearing a suit made entirely of hemp and suddenly became a huge pile of fresh soil! Just like that!

George Harrison : Gibson Les Paul, using a public restroom, eating Burger King, walking, dancing, jumping up and down, talking to fans
Ringo Starr : Tambourine, walking, scratching his moustache
Mal Evans: Using a public restroom, setting up equipment, walking, offering The Beatles a cup of tea

Offline It’s a little known recording fact that potato chips* make the very best master tapes, due to their durability and excellent potato flavour. They can also be destroyed handily by eating them, to save them from being stolen and bootlegged.
What solo Beatle film featured the purported stealing and eating of master tapes as a plot centrepiece? What actually happened to the tapes?
*Dark Overlord, are you referring to American chips or British chips?

Offline I was referring to these type of chips.
If I were referring to British chips, I would’ve just said fish and chips, I said potato chips to specify that I didn’t mean fries.
Carrying on:
Oh yeah, you mean Give My Hofner Back, You No Good 
. It was released in December 1968, 2 months after Paul got fired from The Beatles. It was about 
stealing the master tapes to The Beatles new album, ironically titled F***, We Lost The Tapes. In the end, we find out Paul was the person in the blue meanie suit and he ate the tapes because The Beatles fired him.
Why did The Beatles fire Paul?

Why did they change their minds and re-hire him?
