Here’s Zig’s unanswered question from the previous page.

Zig said

“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 – all good children go to Devon”

How do they get there?

Ironic Records turned them down, saying “Your drummer is OK, but those other guys suck”.

What type of animal was Rocky Raccoon ?

The song doesn’t make it clear. Nowhere does it specifically say that he’s a raccoon. That could just be his last name for all we know. 

 

What did the Beatles do when there was an iguana loose in Studio Two and who did the iguana belong to?

They did nothing, until the iguana climbed on Ringo’s drum set. Turns out it was Brian Epstein’s iguanabrian-epstein

 

Connecting with that, why did Brian Epstein have a pet iguana?

Paul sang it through a flange effect which made it sound like a horn solo. 
 

Unanswered question from previous page:

Was All Things Must Pass George’s first solo album?

Nine and 3/4. It was the highschool prom.

What were the two solo George albums SG didn’t name above?

Frogs Are Holy and Beatles Suck. The first was an Indian-based affair composed mainly of ragas and chants to protect frogs from bad guys, and the second is full of bitter references to iguanas and sarcastic parodies of Beatles songs (I’m Fixing A Hole where my heart used to be), including disturbing imagery concerning walruses and meter maids.

What was the great reconciliation solo album where all 4 Beatles contributed?

Peace, Love, & Iguana, known for the legendary Iguana Love Ya.

A few years later Bob Marley took inspiration from this classic and wrote Is This Love.

Why didn’t Ringo write any songs about Iguanas?

He honestly thought he was hallucinating them, and couldn’t add anything new to existing iguana songs. He did write a lot of cat songs, Kitty Don’t, Don’t Puss Me By, Octokitty’s Garden and sang the signature With A Little Help From My Felines, an endlessly-fascinating subject for him.

When did Ringo leave the Beatles?

He didn’t – they left him – which was the inspiration for Don’t Pass Me By

Speaking of which – where were they all when they ditched him?

London Petting Zoo, Paul needed to catch up with the sheep.

Speaking of sheep, what was George’s song Sheepies about on the White Album ?

Cannibal* sheep, “clutching forks and knives to eat their lamb chops.”

It was a metaphor for how he felt in the band at the time.

(* Can Nibble? Is anyone else disturbed by the English language? a-hard-days-night-ringo-6)

Which Beatle wrote Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
