Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The line, "The Walrus is Paul," is from which "White Album" song?

Answer: Glass Onion

Although most people believe this song has deep meaning, lead singer John Lennon just put meaningless words together so people would look into to it closely. He got a kick out of people analyzing his songs.

2. The line, "In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home," comes from which "White Album" song?

Answer: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

Bassist Paul McCartney wrote this song. He spent so long recording and overdubbing that John, George, and Ringo became extremely annoyed.

John Lennon played the piano in this tune. Paul sang lead on this particular song.

Answer: Billy Shears

Lead singer John Lennon wanted Jesus, Ghandi, and Hitler to be on the album's cover, but decided not to because he had gotten the band in trouble with his infamous "Jesus" remark. The title is insulting American bands who chose "ridiculously long band names."

5. Which song is this line from? "Oh yeah, I'll tell you somethin' I think you'll understand."

Answer: I Want to Hold Your Hand

This was one of the first Beatles songs to become big in America which was hard to do for British bands and singles.

7. Which Harrison-composed song is this line from? "I don't know why you were diverted."

Answer: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

8. Which song is this line from? "You say yes, I say no."

Answer: Hello Goodbye

Radio DJs became angry because this song has a fake ending nearly one minute before the real ending.

9. Which early Beatles hit is this line from? "I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too".

Answer: Can't Buy Me Love

This song was used as the title from the 1980s film "Can't Buy Me Love," a story about a geek who pays a girl to pretend to be his girlfriend. The movie also featured this song many times.

10. This last question is not based on a song by the Beatles, but by a former Beatle, John Lennon. "All the people living for today" is from which John Lennon post-Beatles song?

Answer: Imagine

This song lost to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a 2002 poll by Guiness as Britain's favorite song of all time.
