Time for some more interesting facts to make your head explode! Now you can sound even smarter around your friends with these simple but super fun facts about The Beatles!
14:31 he missed the most coincidental but interesting fact about the “She’s Leaving Home” girl; Melanie Coe (Fact # 77). Paul had met the girl and didn’t know it while on the TV show Ready Set Go. Paul choose her as the best miming singer and he awarded her a prize on the show… there is footage of it.
Corrections: Love Me Do was their first single. Please Please Me was their first #1 and put them over. (Don’t believe the later NME reranking. It wasn’t a major poll back then.) The Strawberry Fields “accidental fit” joke is cute, but obviously planned, as Martin and the group had perfected the technique of smearing sound by manipulating speed and pitch, most notably on Rain. Yoko visited Paul first, showing up at his door asking for music notation for a collection she said she was presenting John Cage for his 50th birthday. Paul referred her to John, who gave her the notated words for “The Word”. She obviously knew who they were.
The Beatles were never the Nerk Twins,it was a name used by John and Paul when they played at a pub run by a relation of Paul’s. The Scaffold’s number one was in 1968 not in the 70s. From Me To You was their third single,not their first.
frank sinatra was a hypocrite since he sang beatle songs. here is something not on this video, in 1964 the beatles met mohamed ali the boxer, and ali told them, you guys aren't as dumb as you look, to which lennon replied, no but you are. the room got quiet, ali stared at john, john just stared back, then ali started to laugh, then the whole room started to laugh.
8:32 Actually the Detroit "movement to stamp out the Beatles" was a joke, unlike the later issue they had with the Bible Belt over John's Christ remark. 8:45 They recorded I want to Hold your Hand and She Loves you in German. There was nothing wrong with it, and actually they later recorded Michelle in partial French. 9:26 Wrong, Ringo didn't have lung problems, he was having his tonsils out.
I liked all of these songs. I think John dislikes Paul songs out of jealousy. He was very insecure. Of course he dislikes "When I'm 64" because it's a tribute to Paul's father. John was estranged from his father. About "Yesterday" he's jealous that of how well it sold and that it has over 2,000 covers. It doesn't resolve anything? Does it have to? "Hello, Goodbye" may have opposites, but "I am he as you are he, as you are me" kind of goes in circles. Most of these songs did quite well.
You're looking into it too much because you're biased towards Paul. John dislikes When I'm Sixty-Four because "it's granny shit". That lines up neatly along Paul's other softer, more baroque tunes, which he also strongly dislikes. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with jealousy. John liked Yesterday despite his critique. And maybe not to you, but yes, narratives typically resolve. It's a fair critique and he criticised his own songs for not resolving, too. I Am the Walrus is purposefully nonsensical as a response to over-analysis of his own songs. Hello, Goodbye is simply nonsense. All Beatles songs did well. Many of John's songs were massive hits, too. Artists don't care about how much something sold. It's not a measure of quality.
@@TheJayson8899 John would be all over the place with his views on songs. I don't take his criticism of songs seriously. This, after all, is a man who recorded "Revolution 9" and thought it was art.
@@TheJayson8899 I'm not biased towards anyone. His critique of Paul's songs from my perspective make sense to me. He had a jealousy of Paul which was evident.
If John Lennon was asked to play Jesus in the movie Jesus Christ Superstar, he was not replaced by Ian Gillian. Ian only performed on the studio record which predates the movie and any live performances of the play. Lennon would have been replaced by Ted Neely, who was not only in the movie but was also in the official live productions for about 40 years. Ian Gillian was a classic recording though. I don't think John Lennon could have performed those songs. Way out of his register...
33 isn't true, there's a couple more artists they backed in the early days. I think there's a recording of them backing Little Richard. Still, i didn't know a lot of this stuff!! Great job, i can dig it, man. Also.. are we really believing yoko saying she didn't know John was a Beatle?.. I know she SAYS that.. but didn't she write paul first a bunch of times trying to get him to be an art patron for her. Did she not know where Paul's money came from? She definitely knew about John and The Beatles. I think she's just sick of playing this role as the woman who came in and ruined all these great men. Which, isn't really true either. Like George said, "All Things Must Pass." If it wasn't for yoko, john probably would've joined a cult. Or, maybe, they would've stayed together. But we don't know, that's the point. I don't like her music, but let's leave the poor lady alone for crying out loud. John loved her, and if we love John, that's gotta be enough for us.
Bro, if you're going to produce a film that's going to be seen by even one human being make sure to get your facts correct especially in this day and age when everything can be Google searched
I agree. I also believe in the fact that ever since my birth the illuminati has secured a buttplug in my asshole that is meant for Putin to spy on Americans. I haven't figured out how to remove it yet but I swear it's there.
Hitler is among the celebrities on the Sgt. Pepper album cover but you don't see him, Ringo in his Sgt. Pepper outfit blocks his likeness. If you see various photos from the album cover sessions, you'll see Hitler way down close to the floor.
Paul growing a mustache to hide a scar from a motorcycle accident, does not sound very convincing, minding the fact that the accident had taken a place in December 1965, and Paul started to grow a mustache not earlier than around October/November 1966...🤷
Love the the photos, but lots of inaccurate "facts." Need to do some homework prior to posting. For example: The two versions of Strawberry Fields were only a semitone apart.
