Because they forgot to add “City” at the end of “Hey-Hey-Hey”. So in Hey-Hey-Hey City they all got upset with a Long, Long, Long face.
What did the Beatles do to compensate Hey-Hey-Hey City for such a disaster?

John had already gone home to rest his throar about 40 takes before, and the band felt it would be unsuitable to only have three-quarters of the band on the record. (Clearly they changed their minds about this policy in years to come.)

I’m not sure. Ask @Wigwam.

Hey Bulldog was originally titled after what amphibious creature before Paul started barking and the name got changed?

Sadly, the bag couldn’t handle suddenly being deprived of the spotlight and turned to hard drugs and alcohol abuse. This downward spiral culminated in the bag being physically tossed out of the Bag o’ Nails Club after drunkenly demanding to speak to the owner, a former lover. The bag then attempted to get clean, finding work hauling potatoes while planning a re-emergence. And with the release of its comeback single (a cover of James Brown’s “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag”) rising up the charts, the career revival seemed to be working, until tragedy struck. On February 31, 1970, the bag took too strong a celebratory dose of heroin during a party, wandered into the street, and was crushed to death by an oblivious garbage truck. The single posthumously became its only #1 hit two weeks later.

Why did Paul insist that the band record “Birthday ” in the nude?

Paul and John were going through a tough time, and had a policy of “complete nudity, emotionally and physically”. O’Boogie had not worn any shoes for 49 days by the time of its recording and had horrible callouses on his feet. George and Ringo joined in on the nakedness as All 1 takes of birthday were recorded on August 2nd, which is “spend at least 24 hours naked with your 3 best friends of the same gender” day.

Give My Regard To Broad Street 2: Electric (Back Off) Boogaloo” , musical/romantic comedy (1988) . The plot: Paul Ramon is a successful singer-musician of the 1960s and 70’s whose career has fallen on hard times in the 1980s: record companies want performers who can dance as well as sing and play, and unless the clumsy Paul learns some dance steps, he’ll lose his recording contract. He decides to seek break-dance training from “King Hari G”, the best dancer-sitarist in the South Bronx, but his efforts are hampered by his concurrent romantic pursuit of Hari’s sister Linda Easternways, who runs the local vegetarian shoe store; and by the comically villainous Russian promoter Ringolev Starskiy, who seeks to sabotage Paul’s performance at a 4th of July concert, all for great glory of glorious Soviet Union. Paul McCartney earned praise and an Oscar nomination for his performance, with critics particularly noting his dramatic abilities during his pivotal “I’ll dance however you want me dance, or if you don’t want me to dance, then I won’t dance at all, whatever you want” confrontation with Hari.

Complete the lyric: “Move over once/Move over _____”

Move over once, move overseas. This lyric comes from a song that John wrote for Paul’s grandfather.

I thought it had something to do with the Ed Sullivan show. I couldn’t remember just what though. Thanks for that reminder.

For Christmas 1964 they gave each other (and all their closest friends) joints.

What was the connection between dirty Maggie May and Mean Mister Mustard, that dirty old man?

Neither of them were Paul’s grandfather, that’s for sure– he’s very clean!
