Lovely pot, wonderful pot

Pot, pot, pot, pot

To many who heard this they thought the Beatles were paying homage to a lovely piece of crockery and their domestic home lives, a believe that only intensified with the release of ‘Pepper’ in 1967. Some still believe the Beatles were particularly fond of a white pepper pot and the whole drug thing was just coincidence and over eager minds.

With permission from the Beatles Monty Python took this exact tune and changed it to what is now famously known as ‘Spam Song‘.

 

What were the two reasons John gave when he returned his MBE in 1969?

The Day The Earth Stood Still – they even made a movie with a robot called Klaatu which (?who), coincidentally, also appeared on the cover of a Ringo Starr album

Having seen Fantasia it auditioned for a role in the sequel as bass #3 and got the part. Success got into its head and sadly it ended up being the back-up bass guitar in the 2009 part animated movie ‘Alvin and The Chipmunks Take Liverpool’. 

 

Where did the Beatles play their last concert gig on the 29th August 1966?

John’s eighteenth lower premolar, which featured heavily in certain songs, such as ‘How Many Teeth (Will You Pull)’. 

 

(I have teeth on the brain right now.) 

 

What happened to John’s and George’s identical Gibson Jumbo guitars soon after their purchase?

They fell in love and eloped, thus forcing the Beatles to accept the Rickenbackers who hated each other.

Where do we all live and why the hell does it have to be yellow?

Eurgh.

Yes, until Ringo stopped, which proved to be a crucial breakthrough in their sound.

Where did Paul fix a hole and is he really right?
