    I Want to Hold Your Hand
    How Do You Do It
    Besame Mucho
    Do You Want to Know a Secret


2. In Britain, the Beatles' first single was "Love Me Do," but in the U.S. this song was not released until after the Beatles had already made the charts with nine other songs. Released on the Tollie label in May 1964, what was its flip side?

4. One of the most popular songs from "A Hard Day's Night" was released as a single by Capitol with the flip side "If I Fell." At the same time, United Artists, the company that produced the movie and had some rights to the soundtrack in the U.S., released that same song as a single, but for the flip side used an orchestral version done for the movie of an earlier song, calling it "Ringo's Theme (This Boy)." What was the song that had both these flip sides?
    I've Got a Feeling
    I'm Happy Just to Dance With You
    And I Love Her
    She Loves You


5. In November 1964 the Beatles were still pumping out chart-toppers, and the flip side of "She's a Woman," which itself reached number four on the U.S. charts, was this song which zoomed to number one on both sides of the Atlantic.
    Please Mr. Postman
    Drive My Car
    You Can't Do That
    I Feel Fine

    You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
    Baby's in Black
    I Don't Want to Spoil the Party


7. One of the biggest song hits of all time for anybody was the song "Yesterday," which oddly enough was not even released as a single in the UK until years after the Beatles broke up.

    Because
    Octopus's Garden
    Come Together


10. Aside from the title song "Let It Be," the big single that came out of the sessions for the documentary of the making of that Beatles album was the last song they played on their legendary rooftop concert. Its flip side was "Don't Let Me Down." What was the song the Fab Four were playing when the police arrived and stopped the show?
