Question 1 of 10

1. "A Hard Day's Night" was probably my favorite album. It provided us with so many new and colorful songs from their early years, but I have to say, my favorite song was probably one of their least popular songs from 1964. It had one of my favorite lines in a Beatles song, "Everybody's green. 'Cuz I'm the one who won your love. But if they'd seen you talking that way, they'd laugh in my face." What song am I talking about? Hint

When I Get Home

Tell Me Why

You Can't Do That

I'll Cry Instead

Question 2 of 10

2. As many of you know, The Beatles recorded some of the music industry's finest, most colorful pieces ever written. But then come the bootleg copies, which give us a totally new feel of the song. "Eleanor Rigby" had a bootleg that I was particularily fond of, but it was not like the released version in one major way- what was it? Hint

The pitch was higher

The pitch was lower

George Harrison sang it

Ringo Starr sang it

Question 3 of 10

3. Another one of my favorite compliations was "Past Masters Vol. 2," which was just a collection of their later material. From the ballad like feel of "Across the Universe" to the hard rock sounds of "Revolution," "PM V2" really show us the potential that these four had. What song is this line from- "Come on, Ringo, let's hear it for Denis?" Hint

Old Brown Shoe

You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)

Rain

Don't Let Me Down

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. "She was just seventeen (if you know what I mean)" was from which "Please Please Me" track? Hint

Please Please Me

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

Twist and Shout

I Saw Her Standing There

Question 5 of 10

5. Even though the CD "One" gave new audiences a glimpse of their number one hits, a lot of their best songs were not featured on the CD. One of my favorite albums was "Abbey Road." The last few tracks blended together into one mega-song. Which one of the tracks from the mega-song is this line from- "Once there was a way to get back home."

Answer: (Two Words)

Question 6 of 10

Answer: (Two Words)
