Beatles Trivia

[editor]

Hmm. Actually Brent, when I went to ask.com and posed the question, "Who was the fifth Beatle?" this was the answer I got.

Quite enlightening, don't you think? That, and it mentioned George Martin several times. I'd always heard it was him. But I won't put the ashes back in the fireplace just yet.

Actually, I found links that said it was Epstein, Martin, Sutcliffe, Best, Preston and Clapton.

I chose Epstein as the only possible correct answer because:
1.)He was the first to be referred to as the 5th Beatle
2.)I thought it was him, and didn't want to change my position on it. 

They will always be the fab four, not five.

Makes sense to me!

The link I mentioned previously will show a different Fifth Beatle if you go back and click on it again and again. I've seen Michael Jackson, Barney Fife, Curious George, somebody from Devo, and a few others.

I've got waaaaaay too much time on my hands. Better go finish fixing dinner.

Name two Lennon-McCartney tunes that feature zero John Lennon.

Brent

Back to this - is one of them "Yesterday"?

Speaking of which - what song did John call Paul's "first" 'Yesterday'?

Yesterday is one, for sure.  When it was first written, it had the title, "Scrambled eggs."
The second one is Elanor Rigby.

I don't know the answer to your question.....congrats.  I'm stumped.

[night owl]

John was referring to "And I Love Her" from the Hard Day's Night soundtrack as being Paul's "first" Yesterday.

Got more??

Wrong summer.  Why don't you just admit that you don't know the answer?  Hope that was blunt enough.

LOL...Hey what kind of car do you think it was? Mazerati, Lambourgini or a Ferrari? I imagine if those Amish boys got a lift in one of these they'd never go back to buggy. ( I like the Mercedes SL coupe convertible myself lots of horsepower! )  Summer.
