When you actually know when to expect ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ to end. 

‘Oh, it’s at 7:22 now… should be over in about twenty seconds then…’ 

*twenty-four seconds later* 

Here Comes The Sun , doo-doo-do-doo…’ 

It goes a bit like that, after you’ve been at it for awhile. a-hard-days-night-john-1

‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’ runs for 7 minutes 47 seconds (Boeing 747 is how i remember), so going by your timings @Beatlebug we’d be catching the very very very end of it (7:22 + 0.24 = 7:46) not the beginning of ‘Here Comes The Sun ‘.

 

How is that for nit-picking!!a-hard-days-night-john-1a-hard-days-night-paul-11

And for extra pickiness George singing “Here Comes The Sun, doo-doo-do-doo…” is 15 seconds into the song so nowhere close to such a point on ‘Abbey Road ‘ – if timings start at the beginning of ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy).a-hard-days-night-paul-11a-hard-days-night-paul-11

Very nice nit-picking, @meanmistermustard, but according to my CD it runs for 7:44. So a-hard-days-night-paul-11 back.

I know by the bass riff. I have been seen pretending to conduct the end at parties and rightly shunned.

Everytime you open your refrigerator door and see the Cattlemen’s barbecue sauce you hear McCartney’s voice singing “Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey” in your mind.

Hah! That reminds me, I was looking at a map the other day and my periphery caught something that my almost-subconscious told me was vaguely Beatley. Thoughts of the Beatley Moments thread were already dancing through my mind when I looked and realised it was only

…co-workers walk up to you and say, “I heard (insert Beatles song title here) on the radio and thought of you”.
One such encounter went thusly:

C-W: I heard ‘Let It Be ‘ on my way to work this morning and it made me think of you.
Z: The single or the album version?
C-W: You need help.
Z: The single or the album?
C-W: *stunned silence*

You can’t go on a day-trip to the mountains and mention the foothills without adding ‘…of the Headlands’. (Or without mentioning Day Tripper , for that matter…)

When a tv tag line is “How do you find the truth when everybody has something to hide” and you’re whole Beatles being automatically adds “except me and my monkey”.
