Imagine getting strapped down and slid into an MRI chamber where they affix headphones blasting "Helter Skelter" into your skull.

My favourite odd Beatles fact is that, when EMI was more than just a record label, and was mega rich with The Beatles' money in the 1960s, they funded the development of MRI scanning (it was originally known as an EMI scan). Bear that in mind every time you hear of someone having a scan - it's The Beatles you need to thank.

I remember reading that somewhere a while back. Love it

It would be funny if the person you told hates The Beatles.

In New Zealand Hey Jude was a #1 for 5 weeks and was replaced by Revolution (the b-side to Hey Jude).

Threatles looks like threat - "there's only 3 of them ha ha ha ha ha!!!" Something a bond villan would do. A method of torture.

The Threetles (Paul, George and Ringo, no John) first played together in 1963 in a small number of concerts (3) when John got ill. They had to reallocate Johns vocal parts which must have been a strange for the fans, especially if you were a John nut.

I think that the only time concerts were postponed due to illness were for an ill Paul.

So much for needing to be all 4 for it to be the beatles.

Shouldn't it be the Threatles. Just sayin'.

Would you believe ... 1 or 2 degrees of separation between Cher and the Beatles?

(Sonny and) Cher's #1 song "I Got You Babe" immediately followed "Help!" on the UK charts in the summer of '65.

Oops. Couldn't remember which brother it was. So I guess mine is 7 steps. Thanks for the correction.
