Yes, it is important to be able to discuss the Beatles in any language you can. The Beatles have fans all over the world.
¡Sí, estoy de acuerdo!
Funnily enough of the Spanish speaking employees on the cruise I went on forced me to sing Ob-la-di because I wore a Beatles shirt.
(Though it wasn't as bad as when they found out it was my birthday
)

I'm glad I have Google translate. That's about what I can do.

Being a hard-core fan is knowing every song to pass hours of meaningless time at a menial job playing albums through your head (yes, earbuds are banned at the job).

...you're just about to turn off the radio so you can resume listening to a podcast you've got in progress; but then "I Am The Walrus " starts to play, and you can't bring yourself to shut it off until it's through.

Same happened to me. With my Dad, drove half an hour home, pulled up, keys about to be turned, and the Christmas Time (Is Here Again) plays. Drive around the block.
Up at 2am, start playing Dear Prudence to fall asleep, but YOUTUBE KEEPS QUEING UP GREAT BEATLES SONGS! 3am.
My spouse calls me for dinner, asks to turn down the stereo. Gimme Shelter comes on and I have to turn it up. Nobody can stop me. I'm late for work.

...you can't seem to escape the Beatles, even when you're not seeking them out - like when you're randomly shuffling Smokey Robinson's catalog on Spotify, and after a couple of hours you're eventually confronted with the Beatles drop-T logo!
Smokey and the Miracles covering "Yesterday
" live on the Ed Sullivan show on 31 March, 1968 - I didn't know the "Beatles '64" doc had its own soundtrack release! (Whether it exists as physical product or just a virtual Spotify collection...) Anyways, it's quite gratifying when Smokey sings the opening line and Ed's studio audience immediately starts to applaud in recognition - three years after its release and Paul's song is already a standard! (The Miracles had also covered the song on their '68 studio album "Special Occasion".)

...and it certainly would've been synchronicitous if the very next Miracles song that Spotify played following "Yesterday " was (the) one that the Beatles had covered, but no...it took two songs instead:
...but then, crazily enough, Spotify followed THAT one with the Miracles cover of a different Motown song that Robinson didn't write, but that the Beatles did also cover:
...so, wow!

...OK, this is getting crazy, now; 'cause I'm still just letting the shuffle play on; and guess what shows up 2 or 3 songs later but another cover:
I didn't know the Miracles ever did this one!
