Paul McCartney (The Beatles), Lennon/McCartney, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, The Beetles, Beatles (& various), Beatles/John Lennon, The Beatles/Isley Brothers, Beatles/ Isley Bros, Beatles/George Harrison, The Beatles / Elton John, Beathes, The Beates, BaetlesWe were fed up with being the Beatles. We really hated that fucking four little mop-top approach. We were not boys, we were men ... and thought of ourselves as artists rather than just performers. - Paul McCartney on Sgt. Pepper We didn't really shove the LP full of pot and drugs but, I mean, there was an effect. We were more consciously trying to keep it out. You wouldn't say, "I had some acid, baby, so groovy," but there was a feeling that something had happened between Revolver and Sgt. Pepper - John Lennon We're not trying to outwit the public. The whole idea is to try a little bit to lead people into different tastes - George Harrison on Sgt. Pepper In Sgt. Pepper's intricate aural tapestry is the sound of four men rebelling against musical convention and, in doing so, opening wide the door for the sonic experimentation that launched hard rock, punk, metal, new wave, grunge and every other form of popular music that followed. – Christopher Scapelliti 2007 Submitted by: Beatle Baby
| We've called each other every name in the book but we never came to blows. We have lived through a phenomena that most people never experience and that makes all four of us BROTHERS forever and for life. No arguments, no disagreements, nothing can ever change that, nothing can tear us apart. We are tied through this together. Submitted by: Beatle Baby

Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
"George Harrison" | "George is the first musician to use a non-Western insrument in rock-n-roll. He learned to play the sitar, tabla, tamboura and other instruments from India. Now instruments from India, the Middle East, Africa, the Orient and other regions are occasionaly used by rock bands and musicians as varied as Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Sting, Phil Collins, Midnight Oil and others. Rush guitarist also uses Eastern European instruments like the mandola and bouzouki. And did somebody say Peter Gabriel?" | - Rock'n'Roll Evolution #9 |
"George Harrison" | "In the late 60s George released a World/Electronic music soundtrack album for the film "Wonderwall". Later on he released "Electronic Sounds" which consists of just that. It holds the historical distinction of being possibly the first album featuring nothing but synthesizer playing. It's just George and his Moog. He pioneered the use of synthesizers in rock'n'roll. And you thought he was just a guitarist!" | - Roland Korg |
"John Lennon" | "John went on to have a successful solo career until he was shot dead by Mark David Chapman in 1980. In an ABC news interview he was asked if the Beatles would ever get back together. He replied that he "didn't know" if that would ever happen." | - Celeste |
"Ringo Starr" | "Ringo has an interesting solo career, though he had no #1 albums, he had an All-Starr Band with other popular musicians." | - Paul Warren |
"George Harrison" | "George, the quiet Beatle, released the album "All Things Must Pass" which was Harrison's best album ever. " | - Paul Warren |
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
"Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite" | The word "being" is never heard, however, all the other words in the title are said in a row two or three times. - GlamRockNinjaLord |
"Bad Boy" | The first song (and only cover) the greatest band on earth did without mentioning the title, the two words are in the lyrics but not together. - Alan the Ottoman |
"Revolution 9" | The words "Number nine" repeated by a sound technician throughout the song, interspersed with nonsensical one-liners and sound effects, but the word "Revolution" is not mentioned. This song was John Lennon's idea of what a revolution would sound like if it was recorded. Paul McCartney and producer George Martin tried to keep this song off the White Album, but they lost out. - Jimsdun |
"The Inner Light" | Neither "inner" nor "light" are heard at all in the song - Alan of Seville |

"Fool On The Hill"
The Funny Lyrics: The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down, And the eyes in his head See the world spinning 'round. Why They're Funny: It's "the fool on the hill" that mentally visualizes the earth's rotation as he sees the sun go down. The song is anti-Copernican I guess!
Submitted by: David Shobe
| "Come Together"
The Funny Lyrics: He got feet down below his knee
Why They're Funny: Everybody has a foot below each knee; this line is just painfully obvious. Besides, as it's sung, it implies the guy has multiple feet and just one knee. Freaky.

"Don't Let Me Down"
The Insincere Lyrics: I'm in love for the first time,
Don't you know it's gonna last? Why They're Insincere: Assuming that "I" was from John's point of view, expressing his feelings about being with Yoko: although his love for her actually did last until his eventual death a decade later, what did being with Cynthia mean to him then!?
Submitted by: Chowder
| "She's Leaving Home"
The Insincere Lyrics: Fun Is the one thing that money can't buy.

Look what you've done When you find yourself in the thick of it Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you Silly girl Take a good look around you Take a good look you're bound to see That you and me were meant to be for each other Silly girl Why They're Insulting: Well, they'd be pretty insulting if it was a love song the way it appears to be.. but hey, Martha was Paul's dog. Maybe it's not so bad. Dogs can be pretty thick sometimes.

"Strawberry Fields Forever"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: Cranberry sauce (muttered by John Lennon at the end of the extended outro)
Why They're Inappropriate: At the end of the extended version of this song (right around the 3:53 mark), you can faintly hear John muttering these two words. I think it's inappropriate of him to mention cranberries instead of strawberries (as per the title of the song).
Submitted by: Warren Piece

This is what I said tonight. For red is the color that makes me blue, In spite of you it's true. Yes it is, It's true. Yes it is, it's true. Why: The song is about a man who is in love with this woman...but still can't get over the one that he lost when red is mentioned. Well...if she only had a red dress, then you can see the door closing on you faster than you can say 'Yes it is'!
