I once requested Taxman and the radio DJ was like "WHY DO YOU WANNA HEAR TAXMAN????" and I replied with, "Because I freakin' love that song!". Turns out I accidently called the Classical station instead of the Classic Rock station xD

That was when you should have said, "In that case, I wanna hear 'Roll Over Beethoven'!"

When I hear a Beatles song on the radio it really fixes my day...
And when on 9/8 (John's birthday) a station that I was randomly listening to played two of his songs i really got exited...

For some reason there is great delight in hearing the announcer say The Beatles afterwards. It doesnt feel complete without that addition.

And the number 2 rule is "one must always sing along when a Beatles song comes on the radio."

When I hear a Beatles song on the radio, I think of my number 1 rule: Do not change the station when a Beatles song is on.

I once requested love Me Do on a radio show where the dj said they would play any song as long as it was broadcastable and they had it! He didnt, not even a substitute of From Me To You, let it be or anything – and it was a 60's, 70's and more radio station.

Ali, i bet the dj tells that story often to all who listen and they dont stop laughing.

That is hilarious!!!! Poor radio station guy, must've been awkward.

I've never bothered to request anything. That does it, I'm calling the radio and requesting something really obscure to get back at them for only playing the obvious stuff.

But eventually called the Classic Rock station and requested it,
they gave me Let It Be instead xD

Depends on a) the radio station I'm listening to (if it's strange, then better), and b) the preceding song. If I'm listening to CBC Radio 2, then I'm not surprised. But if I'm listening to The Black Keys on Drive, followed by Let It Be, say, it surprises me. Depends on the context. (Note to non Canadians - CBC is our BBC, although more people hate the CBC then the Beeb.)

They never play them! A friend of mine claims "Yesterday" is playing all the time, but I have never heard it (on the radio). However, stations do play two Finnish cover songs..."Kaikki joukolla jäätä särkemään", Everyone lets gather round to break some ice aka "Yellow submarine" and "Rööperiin", To Rööperi aka Penny Lane.

I'm not sure of my reactions.... Perhaps I'm a little disappointed they are not playing the original versions. The only time I remember hearing Beatles from Finnish stations is when they advertised McCartney's concert-and they just played small ...
