Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Complete the line from "Rocky Raccoon": "Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as __________"

Answer: Nancy

Paul wrote this tale of an Old West love triangle. The Gideons provided the bible.

2. Talk about an odd combination -- John sings this song about his late mother AND future wife Yoko.

Answer: Julia

Julia, his mother, died from a hit-and-run in 1958, ten years before the release of the "White Album". John included reference to Yoko, whose name translates from the Japanese as 'child of the sea', with the lyric "Oceanchild, calls me."

3. Paul sang about this lovely meter maid on the "Sgt. Pepper's" album.

Answer: Rita

Talk about a cheap date -- "Got the check and Rita paid it".

Answer: Maharishi

John reportedly took exception to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi hitting on a female member of the band's entourage while visiting India.

5. In a cover of an Arthur Alexander tune, the Beatles advise her to "go with him":

Answer: Anna

This song (though not necessarily the Beatles' version) was featured in an episode of "Married With Children", "Oldies But Young'uns," where Al is haunted by a song he heard on the radio and could only remember "Hmm hmm HIM."

6. Paul wonders about her: "Who finds the money when you pay the rent, did you think that money was heaven-sent?"

Answer: Lady Madonna

"Lady Madonna" was released as a single in 1968, reaching number one in the UK and number four in the US.

7. From "Abbey Road", Mean Mister Mustard's sister is "so good-looking, but she looks like a man." Who is she?

Answer: Polythene Pam

"Well, you should see her in drag in her polythene bag."

8. From "The Magical Mystery Tour", WHO "should know"?

Answer: Your mother

"Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know."

An almost prescient description of the Beatles legacy today...

9. From "Get Back", she "thought she was a woman, but she was another man":

Answer: Loretta

Released as a single in 1969,"Get Back" hit number one on pretty much every chart worldwide. The song was performed three times in the Beatles' legendary rooftop concert. "Let It Be" producer Phil Specter would use John's closing quip from that concert, "I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we've passed the audition", to differentiate the album version from the single.

10. From the "White Album", the titular character isn't a woman, it's Paul's dog.

Answer: Martha My Dear

Paul had an Old English sheepdog named Martha, though Paul has said the actual song itself was probably about ex-fiancee Jane Asher.
