Trick question – he had two turtles but they were WORKER turtles, not pets. They were on a treadmill attached to the the rotating Leslie speaker cabinet, turning it slowly for that luscious modulated sound loved by millions of record buyers. George named them Simon and Simone, until the night he discovered they were a same-sex turtle couple, whereupon they were rebranded Simon and the Other Gay One.
What other Beatle(s) had musical assistance animals?

Offline Pete Best. He came with what he thought was an absolutely genius idea after seeing a lady with a seeing-eye dog walking down the street, and went to get himself a musical-assistance goldfish. He thought that having extra help when drumming would improve his sound, and surely the Beatles would want him back then! 
It didn’t work.

Many. All the studios at EMI were full that day, so the Beatles, accompanied by George Martin and Norman Smith, had to instead record at the confectionery factory down the road. The Beatles were too busy eating chocolate bars to sing lyrics for the song.
What exactly was going on in all of the studios that made The Beatles go there?

Maybe if Necko quoted that post for a tri-tiered effect and then quoted that post…

How many bars are featured in ’12-Bar Original’?
All of them.
********************
3rd eye advantage is that the 3rd eye could keep an eye on the other two eyes while they kept an eye on one another.

Offline There’s 13 saloons, in order there names are:
1. Saloon
2. We hate Jar Jar Binks therapy saloon
3. Nail saloon
4. The Beatles saloon
5. Tavern club
6. I’d sell my soul to know who sang the ahhhs in A Day In The Life
7. We’re not a saloon
8. You already went here
9. The Paul McCartney played acoustic guitar on I’m Looking Through You bar and grill
10. For the last time, get the hell off my property before i call the police on your stupid sorry saloon
11. The professor who is always right will now have a cup of tea
12. Fender saloon
13. That’s it, i’m calling the cops
After they went to the 13th one, The Beatles got arrested for trespassing and were sentenced to either release Carnival Of Light , tell everybody who sang the ahhhs in A Day In The Life , or spend the rest of their life in prison.
Why did they choose the 3rd option?
