John had been told there was a poster in the shop with the lyrics to Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite on them, and being an avid collector of Beatle memorabilia, he just had to have it.

Trick question: Eric “The Clapper” Claptone’s legendary 17-minute solo in “Chuck In The U.S.S.R.” was actually an electrified balalaika, played through a Wah-Wah pedal and Leslie speaker cabinet reverse-wired by Geoff Emerick to rotate in alternating directions. Claptone’s only mandolin contribution to a Beatless recording was his rhythm mandolin on “Helton’s Skeleton”.

Offline Gilligan’s Island. In a deleted scene, John reacts angrily when a member of The Mosquitos says they are more popular than The Beatles and via the transitive property of equality, more popular than Jesus. So the Beatles challenged them to a Battle of the Bands. This is the original reason the Mosquitos went to Gilligan’s Island. Not to escape screaming fans and such, but rather to avoid the inevitable humiliation.

Offline Abbey Road is home to a famous recording studio, whereas Abbey Lane is home to a famous unrecording studio! This is where Paul McCartney unrecorded Carnival Of Light (repeatedly hit all surviving discs with a stale piece of bread until they shattered, then setting fire to the pieces, and then putting the ashes in an steel box welded shut, and then putting this box at the bottom of the sea)

Offline Sheer stubbornness, boredom, greed and lack of inspiration. He even figured the entire meaning and tone of the track changed by overdubbing the word “don’t” right before every “let it be” on the Beatles record so did straight on the master tape by sneaking into Apple one night. No one by this time was listening to what was actually being sung so realised what had happened.

Offline Frank Sinatra caught wind of the impending appearance and intervened, asking the Beatles to reconsider the song: Despite being recently divorced from Mia Farrow, he was still close to the family, and feared ex-sister-in-law Pru slipping back into near-catatonia if she viewed John and co. singing about her personal Rishikesh experience, live, on her favourite pop-jukebox TV show. Ultimately, it was decided to cut the song entirely, and retool the entire RSG episode around threee historic Sinatra-Beatles musical matchups. For an opener, the boys provided purely instrumental backup for a solo Frank vocal on Ray Charles’ “Hallelujah, I Love Her So”, and they closed by hauling a second drumkit onstage for Frank to join in during a raucous rendition of “Birthday “, complete and extended with 16 bars of Ritchie and Francis trading fours. The evening’s highlight, however, saw Paul and Frank sharing the mic for a comic duet on “Somethin’ Stupid”, with a bewigged Paul in ‘Nancy Sinatra’-drag earnestly singing her vocal part, as John, George and Ringo smirked and guffawed behind their instruments. Sinatra was exuberant at the show’s success, kissing eight Beatle cheeks while presenting four bottles of prized 30-year old Scotch from his personal collection, and spoke affectionately of the band to the end of his life:
“Ahh, those lousy goddamned longhaired limey bums…hahahaha!…No, seriously, I loved those guys, really I did; great fellows, groovy cats. Fine songwriters too – and lemme tell you, they knew how to throw a goddamn party!”
– From “I Did It My Goddamned Way: An Autobiography” by Frank Sinatra
