You see a trailer for “Rango” and you keep saying, “Ringo. Ringo. Ringo.” 

If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

Air cello is part of every Beatle hardcore fan.

 

Check 1.39. So Zig, how do you play air cello? Ala Ringo, Paul, George or John?? stuart-sutcliffe

I do the same thing. I still wanna see the movie regardless of mispronunciation of the title.

Well we all shine on like the moon, the stars, and the sun.

You know you're a hardcore Beatle fan when you see Christian Bale looking smokin' hot in the Golden Globe red carpet with a beard and mustache, and you text a friend “Not since Paul and George I was drooling so much over a man with beard!”

 

My friend's reply? “I know you say that because of Christian Bale… but who's George and Paul?”

You replace characters in your jokes with the Beatles.

You know the left-hand part of the piano solo in “In My Life .” 

NOTE: “Know” means “can sing it and could identify it if it was played without the right-hand part,” not “can play it.” I can't play piano.

Not like Paul – I'm right handed. I'll say that I play it like Stu would have – poorly.

If I had my way (and the money) I'd make the 6+ hour airline flight out of my way every day to do the same thing.

Does it ever give you “the creeps” when you pass the site where Julia was run down?

Yeah Zig it does. Unfortunately you can't pass and think of John living in that house without remembering what happened outside. Very mixed feelings when you pass but i still do it!

You judge an hour and a half as three cycles of 'A Hard Days Night'

You hear someone start to reminise saying, “when i was younger”, you sing aloud or to yourself  “so much younger than today”

I love it!

At a recent off-site business meeting, someone asked me, “did it take you long to drive here?”. To which I replied, “nah – it only took me Band On The Run to get here”.

You quote “A Hard Day's Night” so much that your dad (who doesn't like the Beatles) accidentily says “I'd be quite prepared for that eventuality,” in an everyday conversation, gives you a 'holy crap' look, and then accuses you of 'infecting' him.

Got stuck in America after I turned left at Greenland :/

Well done. So, your dad is becoming a FabFan by osmosis. Your persistence is paying off. One soul at a time, we are winning over the world.

Don’tBeCheeky: When you quote it and he asks you what you’re talking about, do you reply with, “I don’t know, I just thought it sounded distinguished-like” ? Lol

Blue Nicey: Lol! Yep, and then he tells me to stop watching the Beatles movies and listening to their music and go out paradin' before it's too late.

 

Zig: Thanks to people like us, the whole world will be struck with Beatlemania all over again before they realize what's hit them.

Dunno if I gave this answer already, but…

…you turn on the television, notice that “A Hard Day's Night” is starting soon (or already in progress, even) and happily sit down to watch, even though you own the DVD and can easily play that anytime.

(Actually happened to me about a month ago or so)

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

probably if you are a hardcore beatles fan a similar conversation has happened to you

Person 1: You look like you like (random artist or genre)

Person 2: I prefer The Beatles

Person 1:I don`t believe you, mention a couple of Beatles songs then

Person 2: (starts to say a lot of beatles songs)

 

And the conversation ends with

Person 1:Ok i believe you, this is taking too long please stoppaul-mccartney

John, Paul, George and Ringo= The Beatles

And i buried Tulio!
