Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.

I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had a look
Having read the book, I'd love to turn you on...

Woke up, got out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I heard the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on.

Os gritos de uma mulher sendo assassinada foram ignorados no Hilton Hotel de São Francisco em agosto de 1964. Pensaram que era apenas mais uma adolescente histérica recepcionando os Beatles.

O pai de Ringo Starr é limpador de janelas até hoje.

Por algum tempo os quatro integrantes foram vegetarianos. Também tiveram fases de só tomar chá e outras de uísque com coca-cola.

A data oficial para o início da beatlemania foi 4 de novembro de 1963, quando os Beatles apareceram no Royal Variety Performance.

Os Beatles tinham apenas dois roadies (pessoal que cuida da aparelhagem): Neil Aspinall e Mal Evans.

Os Beatles fizeram fundo musical para uma stripper chamada Shirley em um clube de Liverpool, em 1960.

John Lennon dormia em um caixão de defunto quando passou a dividir um apartamento com Stu Sutcliffe, no Gambia Terrace, em Liverpool, 1960.

Depois de uma briga com Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr saiu do grupo durante a gravação do Álbum Branco, em 68. Voltou duas semanas depois.

Os Beatles são a única banda a conseguir 6 álbuns de diamante: Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, The Beatles 1962-1966, The Beatles 1967-1970, The White Album, The Beatles 1. Logo atrás vem o Led Zeppelin com cinco.
