Sgt Pepper's is #1! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Adolf Hitler

If you count all the people and objects on the album, you get 87. This has been a popular album cover because it features many celebraties (named three above) and people like Bob Dylan, Marilynn Monroe, Abbot and Costello were on the cover, too. Also, this cover led to some clues to the infamous "Paul Is Dead Hoax".

Answer: George Martin

The album was released in 1967, right after the hit success of "Revolver" in 1966. The Beatles would follow up "Sgt. Pepper's" with another great album, "Magical Mystery Tour", also released in 1967.

Answer: When I'm Sixty-Four

"Sgt. Pepper's" is also a movie starring rock stars such as Peter Frampton, Alice Cooper, and the band Aerosmith. The movie got bad reveiws, and was claimed one of the worst films ever made. Luckily the Beatles made other movies that did fairly well ("A Hard Day's Night", "Help", "Yellow Submarine" and "Let It Be", respectively).

Answer: Paul McCartney

The title of the opening track is "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the same title as the album. Ringo sang on "A Little Help From My Friends", the song that follows "Sgt. Pepper's". "Sgt. Pepper's" also reprises right before the final song on the album "A Day In The Life".

Answer: Julian

Some people believe this song is about drugs (since the letters LSD are prominent in the title). John claimed it isn't and is about a musical version of "Alice In Wonderland". He also said "the girl with kaleidoscope eyes" turned out to be Yoko.

Answer: 5:00

5:00 on a Wednesday to be exact. On the back of the original album, George was pointing to this line "5:00 on a Wednesday". This gave more hints to the "Paul Is Dead Hoax" (pointed to this line to show what time and day Paul died).

Answer: Twenty

"It was twenty years ago today
That Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play"

The album was released in 1967, so Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play in 1947.

Answer: Tara Browne

Tara Browne was the Guinness heir who died when he smashed his car into a parked van (inspiring the lyric "He blew his mind out in a car"). There was another event that inspired the fourth verse in the song. Blackburn Roads Surveyor recorded that 4,000 holes in the road and the volume of material needed to fill the holes was enough to fill the Albert Hall. Lennon both got these stories from newspapers. Also, a forty-one piece orchestra played on this.

The final note of the song lasts forty-two seconds, and is rumored that you are able to hear the studio air conditioners toward the end.

At Lennon's request, he asked producer George Martin to put in a high pitched tone, which most humans can't hear but dogs do and the noise drives them crazy.

Answer: Strawberry Fields Forever

The other big hit also recorded was "Penny Lane". These songs were major hits. Other songs that were recorded for "Sgt. Pepper's" were "Carnival Of Light", "Only A Northern Song", and "Drum Track". "Drum Track" was 22:10 long! It never was released.

Answer: Peter Blake

The question may be a little late, but it is one of the most recognized album covers of all time. In fact, four other album covers were inspired from "Sgt. Pepper's". Some artists that used the design for their album covers include Frank Zappa and Dead Kennedys. Thanks for playing my quiz.
