101 Facts About The Beatles 

number one, paul mccartney uses "y'know" more than anyone on earth.

Ben and Jerry needs to create a icecream called Strawberry Fields Forever as a homage for the Beatles.

Ringo was the voice of my childhood, mostly because he played the narrator in Thomas the tank engine.

Fact 102: Both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are lefties. Paul plays a left-handed Höfner 500/1 while Ringo plays a right-handed drum kit.

‘Sitting on a cornflake’ is my favourite lyric from any song in the whole world

Interesting facts not mentioned: - John Lennon's mother had 3 childern, John, his sister Julia and another sister, Ingrid. She gave up Ingrid for adoption. She was raised in Norway and when she found her birth certificate, she found out she's related to John Lennon. - Paul McCartney is the richest musician in the game, he's a billionaire. - The rights for the Beatles songs aren't owned by the Beatles but by Michael Jackson's inheritees. He bought the rights before McCartney and Ono managed to. - When John Lennon died, he was on speaking terms with both Ringo and Paul but he and George were actually in an argument and didn't speak for years before Lennon's death. - McCartney dreamt the melody for Yesterday. He also dreamt about his mother, Mary, coming to him and telling him "Let It Be" when the situation in the band started to get heavy. - John Lennon was bisexual. He was outed by Yoko Ono in 2016. - The most popular beatles song on I-tunes is "Here Comes The Sun" by George. - The Beatles released two more songs in the 90's as a special project in connection to the Anthology series about the band. Those songs were originally unfinished demos by John from before he died and were on a tape with a note "For Paul". - Some speculate that Stuart Sutcliffe died of aneurysma as a result to being brutally beaten by furious, drunk John Lennon when he announced that he's leaving the band because he wanted to get married. - John and Paul communicated through their songs in late Beatles albums and early 70's. Song such as "Oh! Darling" is actually for John Lennon. But the most notable of those is "How Do You Sleep" which is a very nasty disstrack on McCartney by Lennon. - "Hey Jude" is a song Macca wrote for Julian Lennon to make him feel better about his parents' divorce. - Ringo narrated "Thomas The Tank Engine".

19:41 missed opportunity for "When I'm Sixty-Four" refference

2:18 "None of these people are Paul McCartney" I laughed a bit too hard at that

I think the "5th Beatle" would be George Martin He did all of the orchestra stuff

In my personal opinion Billy Preston or George Martin was the true fifth Beatle

I Want You (She's So Heavy) is slightly longer than Hey Jude

Great video about the greatest band in the world. You should do Led Zeppelin or The Doors next.

101 facts about Pink Floyd! Do it Sam, do it, you crazy diamond.

interesting facts you missed: 1. Brian Wilson from the beach boys was inspired by rubber soul to write pet sounds. when the Beatles responded with sgt. pepper, brian actually broke down in tears. 2. John and Paul actually hated the song "while my guitar gently weeps" so much that they refused to play the guitar on it, so George had to bring in Eric Clapton to do it for him. 3. "something" is the only George Harrison song to ever have been released as a single 4. "hey Jude" was written by Paul for John's son Julian after John divorced his previous wife to marry Yoko Ono (ew) 5. the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were often said to have a rivalry, but that wasn't true, they were actually really good friends.

some fun facts that could've also made this list... Penny Lane was also considered for Pepper... George Harrison's original contribution to Pepper was "Only a Northern Song" Brian Epstein's last known appearance at EMI Studios was the session for "Your Mother Should Know" The Beatles heard about Brian's death from a passer by in Bangor, Wales... where they were meeting the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with Mick Jagger. The BBC cocked up with the first broadcast of "Magical Mystery Tour" broadcasting the special in black and white and promptly disturbing and frightening the viewers. The rarest Beatle performance to date is their performance of "Ticket to Ride" on Top of the Pops, with a snippet of the footage only available in a William Hartnell episode of Doctor Who "The Chase", the full performance wiped from the BBC archives. As a further fun fact relating to the BBC Sci-Fi franchise John Lennon appeared at Cannes film festival with one of Terry Nation's iconic Daleks behind him, made for the Amicus film "Dr. Who and the Daleks" film starring Peter Cushing and Roy Castle. Only Paul and Ringo have had the distinction of playing iconic children's fictional characters from books, Paul McCartney playing Rupert the Bear, and Ringo iconically playing the role of the narrator in Thomas the Tank Engine. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite's lyrics are all on the poster John Lennon owned apart from the Horse (originally named Zanthus). The Poster is currently on display in the Liverpool Museum as of 2019. Yellow Submarine originally had an opening narration by Ringo which wasn't omitted in the final piece. Although it was released with the "Real Love" single. Harrison's "It's All Too Much" almost made Magical Mystery Tour. Even more interesting is that it is the second longest Beatles song as the full version of it clocks in at 8 minutes 9 seconds... "Hey Bulldog" was the only song made from scratch for the film "Yellow Submarine". Ghandi was originally in the Sgt Pepper Audience but a reshoot was done with him removed. The Sgt Pepper Drum had 2 skins... one with the final image shown on the album, while the other skin bore a heart in the centre. In "Your Mother Should Know" Paul wears a black carnation since they ran out of red, this alluded to the "Paul is Dead" theory. In 1965/1966 prior to the friend's death Paul was involved in a moped accident with Guinness heir Tara Browne in which he chipped his tooth and later grew the famous moustache which ushered the way to the Sgt Pepper era. during 1970 when asked by a fan if "Hey Jude" was about his son Julian a drunken John Lennon stated sarcastically it was about Brian Epstein and it was originally called "Gay Jew" to which the patrons responded "nah, nah nah nahnahnahnaaaaaah, nahnahnahnaaaaaah, gay jew" John Lennon often sang "I want to hold your gland" during tours in the song "I want to hold your hand". Much of the dialogue in "Yellow Submarine" is written uncredited by Liverpool poet Roger McGough. Penny Lane originally was going to have English Horns and Cor Anglais in the piece, something Paul changed when he heard David Mason on television. During the Rooftop concert Ringo wears his wife Maureen (Mo) Starkey's red rain mac while John wears one of Yoko's fur coats.

"The best band in the world, and it's a pun." That made me chuckle

101 facts about Queen (the band), cause we are the champions

When I was a kid I used to have a huge crush on Ringo (as Mr. Conductor). I wanted to play the drums when I was really young as well, before I knew Ringo was a drummer. I thought it was cool when I found out he was the drummer for the Beatles (found this out not too long after I started watching Shining Time Startion).

I find it amazing that both John Lennon and Elton John were each other's biggest fans,and they remain so till Lennon's death. Rip John...

interestingly, 12 year old me watching A Hard Day’s Night *did* have an awful amount trouble understanding what the Beatles were saying. But there’s no way I’d want their accents to be changed for us Americans. They’re fine the way they are!

My favorite is McCartney but I love Ringo cause of the fact that he's underrated

Simply put they're the greatest musical artists of all time

OMG PLEASE DO ELTONN JOHNN 😱🥰

Lmao " papa roach " I can't lol

My uni is actually Paul and George's old school in Liverpool. Paul opened is as the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in the 1990s. He attends every graduation and can very occasionally be seen going around the corridors. Also, when I heard that Macca messed up during Hey Jude, I listened to it and now I can't stop laughing! Great work!

That is my grandma at 11:37 at the Washington Coliseum February 11, 1964. I showed her and we both want to know where this video clip came from. If anyone could tell me that would be great.

Watched “A hard days night” about two weeks ago. Definitely did not understand what they were saying

The regular blue meanies were Mickey Mouse caps while the Apple bunkers look like Abe Lincoln.

10:54 like half of those food are probably from savory truffle

They wrote a letter to Buddy Holly saying that The Crickets inspired The Beatles.

The sound of the REVOLVER LP is sooooo amazing!

Great video!! I knew all the facts already but it was fun to watch either way!!!

Yellow sumerian was the first song I requested when I was about 3 or 4 years old.

Help! Is my favourite Beatles song!

On the 8th of Dec. 1980 I was at the club Abbey Road in San Antonio Tx. when we were notified of the murder of John. It was quite the somber evening as a good amount of time was spent in silence and many tears. Ultimately, Beatles music was blaring and all attending took to becoming quite inebriated in his honor. The first round after the grieving had begun was on the house.

19:41 you really missed the opportunity to say When I’m 64 instead of Nintendo 64

I can't believe you didn't mention the famous Penny Lane's "Fish and finger pie". That's actually two items on the menu, fish and chips being the "fish" ordered. You could never get good fish and chips is the US but as I remember the finger pie, mhwaaah!

3:11 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9...

I was waiting for this for too long! Thank you Sam! It is as good as ever 😁

The Beatles are my favorite group. I love their music. My favorite songs are Yellow Submarine, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Yesterday Love you Yeah, and a couple of others

The Beatles are the best band on this planet.

Greatest Band ever Created.

The Beatles were and are the greatest bang and solo musicians and singers.

Also, in 1995 the 3 remaining beatles recorded 2 new songs written by John Lennon before his death that included his vocals. Free as a Bird and Real Love ❤️

John Lennon claimed the name came from a dream he had as a child where a man on a flaming pie came to him and said "You are Beatles with an A"

I firmly believe Brian Epstein was the fifth beatle. Because he brought them to George Martin in the first place, toured with them, fixed their problems(or at least tried to), and really cared for them.

101 Facts About Led Zeppelin

I played Blackbird to my nephew and he loved it so much that I had to put it in a youtube playlist I created especially for him. I would only reccommend playing this list if you enjoy listening to nursery rhymes.

missed opportunity to do the revolution 9's 'number 9'

They got the name from Stuart Sutcliffe as a tribute to Buddy Holly & the Crickets

Two new Genres of music have been created 1: Beatles 2: Queen

if you haven't heard revolution nine, do it

Somewhere in an alternate universe John is most know for playing gollum.

The best band of all time. My favorite by them is "In My Life." Can you please do Metallica???

22:57 actually, that's wrong too. The longest song by the Beatles is Take 3 of Helter Skelter, which is 27 minutes and 11 seconds long, And the longest song officially released by the Beatles is Helter Skelter take 2, which is almost 13 minutes long.

14:44 Guy in the bottom (ish) left is having a great time :)

Disclaimer: Julian’s classmate Lucy was not a panda.

Sam, please do a 101 facts on Queen before Bohemian Rhapsody comes out!

19:41 A missed opportunity (if you know you know)

K this is a darker and slightly lesser known fact but when Lennon said that they "were more popular than Jesus" it was the BIGGEST mistake he could have made as it triggered Mark Chapman. He was a MASSIVE diehard fan of the Beatles but when Lennon said that, it set him off to hate the Beatles and eventually... well... most people know the rest

101 Facts about METALLICA

Haha ok bro Comedy observed , laughter activated , endorphin administered.

Sam: I will not attempt a scouse accent. Also Sam, 5 seconds later: attempts scouse accent.

..."I want you (she's so heavy)" is longer than "Hey Jude", which makes the song 3rd longest song, not 2nd.

DO QUEEN, LED ZEPPELIN, DAVID BOWIE, AND THE MOVIE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

could have done “number 9, number 9, number 9”

i'm surprised you never mentioned the threetles' reunion in the mid 90s

Another fact: George Martin didn’t want the white album to be a double lap but the Beatles did and at this point he was getting frustrated with them

Number 1: They were just good friends

I’ve never bawled over John’s death... That fucking hurt.

Number nine. number nine, number nine

Did you mention the name of John Lennons Killer!? pls don't let this man have any platform

The French that Sir James Jackass sings in Michelle (#35) is both benign and perfectly genuine French. If John wanted him to come across with the sort of thing he blurted out at parties, he might have been disappointed.

Can you do a 101 facts on the following topics, Sam?: The illegal organ trade Chocolate Swiss Guards

but but but but.... Revolution 9 isn't really a song... "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is the longest true Beatles song!

*me an avid Beatlemaniac clicking on these Beatles fact videos knowing I already know all the facts mentioned*

Yes Tomorrow Never Knows was based on John Lennon’s LSD use. But it’s also based on the Tibetan Book Of The Dead. Which was based on the Tibetan belief of life after death and meditation. The Tibetans believed that you could separate your soul from your body if you listened to the chanting of the book. The Tibetan Book Of The Dead was written by Padma Sanbaba.

I like Paul McCartney, and hey Jude is my favorite song

George Martin is the 5th Beatle
