Also, the last book I read had a lot of Beatles references. One guy kept calling the main character Ringo, and later he said he really looked more like John Lennon , but Ringo was a catchier nickname for him. It was awesome!


Which book is this?

Is that a joke version of Something as sung by a clueless Frank Sinatra? I remember a version that started off with “Something in the way…she cooks…”

Nop. That was the first draft of the song. I think that it's in a bootleg version that he sings that, and also a pomegranate. 

And yeah I want to know about that book!! so tell us! a-hard-days-night-ringo-15

 

Paul asks it too! 17!! a-hard-days-night-paul-11

The book was called Linger, it was a sequal to another book I read last year so I wanted to read it. It was alright, but it was made for my age group so it has a bunch of cliches.

 

BOT: When you have a different Beatles song stuck in your head during each class at school. It is really weird, I cannot seem to keep the same song that was in my head the last period as well as the one that randomly pops into my head during that one, even though I couldn't stop humming it the whole time.

Someone was making fun of him. Technically, he was when he called Something a great Lennon-McCartney tune…

 

I love that story, Mith. I hadn't heard that before!

I don't think so. I think he really did not know that George wrote “Something .”

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

When was that clip made? I'm pretty sure that he found out about his blunder shortly after he called “Something ” a Lennon-McCartney composition.

I can't nail down a date, but probably Late 70's/early 80's.

People tell you about their relatives or friends who are Beatles fans.

… Your “friends” try to Annoy you by saying the Beatles sucked and that Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds was about LSD. I realize that LSD bad effects on the writing, but the song isn’t about LSD

😀 I wanna go watch it now, just to see it. I once watched almost a whole episode of a kids show just to catch a Beatles reference. It was worth it though, the reference made me smile like an idiot. Whenever I see or hear a Beatles reference, I always smile like an idiot, I am just so happy! It is like finding the golden ticket in a candy bar to me. 🙂

I am the same way! I was laying out a page of our paper yesterday and one of the articles had the headline “Hey, Jude.” I gasped aloud and told my boss in my high-pitched giddy voice. I had to stop myself from posting about it on Facebook, it was that exciting to me.

When your friends are trying to figure out how a Backstreet Boys song goes and all they keep singing is “tell me why..” and you start singing a song by a completely different band..

You were only waiting for this moment to arise
