Who was the first person to be called the fifth Beatle?
Jesus.
Incidentally, I’ve been wondering if maybe it’s a good idea tweaking this thread title a bit, to “Beatles Trivia – Even Easier! (wrong answers encouraged…)”, or something better but similar – just to make it less misleading, and possibly more enticing to newcomers. Just a thought for you mods…

Pete Best, he claimed the title of First Beatle four times, asking John, Paul, George and Ringo respectively, and then a fifth time from George Martin. He gave up the undertaking before trying a sixth time though.
The recording of which Beatles album coincided with Lennons “lost weekend”?

Offline It wasn’t really the song that was terribly controversial, as much as it was the accompanying promotional video, in which three of four Beatles appeared completely, scandalously, barefoot throughout. (The holdout was George, who intended to participate but got cold feet at the last minute. Ultimately, he compromised by wearing socks with holes, through which he allowed both big toes to protrude salaciously.)
What did the text printed on the back cover of the “Sgt. Pepper ” album consist of?

It was all built around the image of George Martin reading a newspaper on the floor of Abbey Road . All of the song titles are taken from headlines from the paper, and the songs interpret George’s reactions to the stories.

In the song Every Little Thing , who is the HER in this line “Can’t stop thinking about HER now.”

During the bed-in, John got too cuddly towards Yoko and she was pricked by the medallion. She got so mad, she retreated into a bag, pouted for two days straight and only came back out when Lennon assured her that he got rid of the MBE medallion.

It took him an age to find a full knights costume, especially a helmet that covered his nose.

“I like sandals; the air circulates my feet and keeps the skin soft. I’ll wear shoes when it’s raining but if it’s dry its sandals”.
Shoemakers and confused Beatles fans in America read this is ‘Rubber Soles’ where it sat under the heading ‘Lennon Rejects Shoes’. The shoemakers were deeply concerned over the possibility of a declining number of shoe sales. To address the shoemakers bought all kinds of shoes and burned them to increase sales, meanwhile fans who agreed with John burned them to show solidarity. This led to the 300 metre high bonfire that burned for 2 years and could be seen from two states over.
