Originally Posted By Dabob2 Wow, talk about a blast from the (in the single digits) past. I only looked at the first one, but what a trip (literally - considering those were two of the lads' most psychedelic songs ever, and they've got the kids singing along with "I know what it's like to be dead" etc.) But one lyric was misprinted as "Who put all those things in your hair." (???) And my admiration for Paul Frees knows few bounds, but he couldn't do a Liverpool accent to save his life. Still, what a trip. For some reason, the episode I remember best is Ringo running from a bull to the strains of "Honey, Don't."

Originally Posted By ecdc ^^^^^Now it's just a moderate silence on both of them. Bit confusing on Her Majesty, really.
Originally Posted By DAR If that is true: "When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!" I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hell was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth."
Originally Posted By alexbook >>For some reason, the episode I remember best is Ringo running from a bull to the strains of "Honey, Don't."<< That one sticks with me, too. I watched some of these at a Beatlefest. A whole roomful of "adults" sitting around watching cartoons on a big screen. Very weird experience.
Originally Posted By DAR Regarding the iTunes announcement I have some mixed emotions about this. As a Beatles fan I already have their entire catalog on my personal iTunes account so in that regard all I can say is it's not really a big deal. But it does excite me for the younger listeners who haven't yet discovered them, this is perfect for them.
Originally Posted By ecdc I really wish I knew how Apple pulled off this stuff. The Beatles on iTunes is the LEAD story on numerous news websites. Cause everyone knows Beatles fans were sitting around lamenting how difficult it was to find their music until it showed up on iTunes. I LOVE Apple. Got my iMac, Macbook, and iPad all rocking. But this is just silly. I do agree with DAR that this is a great way for young people to discover the Beatles if they haven't already, but they'll just see the price tag and bittorrent them anyway.
Originally Posted By DAR Any self respecting music fan should have already discovered them. What I've discovered recently is that Abbey Road is my favorite album of theirs.
Originally Posted By alexbook Sorry, but I've already bought their entire collection thrice (orginal LPs, remastered LPs, and CDs), and I'm not going to buy them again.

Originally Posted By mawnck Google (and every other source in the known universe) will also tell you that Paul wrote the line "But if this ever changin' world in which we live in." But that's not what it says. Don't believe everything you read on the internets. It's "Who put all those things in your head?" It even rhymes with "I said." (And "but if this ever changin' world in which WE'RE LIVIN' ...")
