Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The picture may immediately bring to mind the name of this John Lennon written song, but remember the "man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots"? What is the "soap impression" that he fashioned after?

Answer: his wife

The line in question read "A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust".
"Happiness is a Warm Gun" appeared on the album that has come to be known as "The White Album", even though it's officially called "The Beatles". The song title is reported to have come from the name of a magazine shown to Lennon by George Martin. Always a fan of double meanings, Lennon was intrigued by the fact that, in street parlance, a warm gun could mean anything you just shot, including heroin.
Although written by Lennon the song is credited as a Lennon/McCartney composition.
2. This lively Paul McCartney number is about a naughty boy and his hammer. His first name is probably right on the tip of your tongue, but what is his last name?

Answer: Edison

The line where this is revealed is, "Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine".
McCartney is quoted as saying that the song was an analogy for "when things go wrong out of the blue", almost like fate reaching out and hitting you.
It was released on the "Abbey Road" album in 1969.
The song is credited as a Lennon/McCartney composition.
3. Although this vessel is not the same colour as the one in the song, I'm sure you can picture the colour it should be. However, what is the colour of the sea that the Beatles are seeking in the song?

Answer: green

The lines in question are, "So we sailed on to the sun, 'Til we found the sea of green".
Released as a single in 1966 (as the B side to "Eleanor Rigby"), "Yellow Submarine" made it to number one on the pop charts. It was also recorded on the album "Revolver" the same year. McCartney wrote the song, with Lennon's help, for Ringo to sing lead.
It became an animated movie in 1968, leading to a movie soundtrack album in 1969.
4. The name of this George Harrison written song might be a little harder to determine from the photo, but not if you think about it. In the song, what does George feel is finally melting?

Answer: that ice

The line in question is "Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting."
"Here Comes the Sun" was released, in 1969, on the album "Abbey Road". The recording of Abbey Road was during a difficult time for the Beatles. They were failing miserably at trying to manage themselves. Frustrated by the bickering and paperwork, Harrison played hooky one day and ended up writing this song, in at Eric Clapton's house.
5. This picture brings to mind a very early hit for The Beatles. In the song, what is it that the girl has that inspires such deep emotion in the singers?

Answer: "that something"

"Yeah you, got that something, I think you'll understand" is the repeated line in question.
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" was released in November of 1963. It was their first North American hit (reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1964). They played it on their first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1964. It was truly a collaboration between Lennon and McCartney.
6. In the Beatles' song that this photo calls to mind, who or what was "singing Hari Krishna"?

Answer: elementary penguin

The line in question is, "Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna, Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe."

Released in 1967 as the B side to "Hello, Goodbye", "I Am the Walrus" was also on the album "Magical Mystery Tour" and in the movie of the same name (a movie that was not well received by critics or viewers, at the time).
While credited as a Lennon/McCartney composition, "I Am the Walrus" was written by John, who sometimes claimed that he wrote it simply to confuse people who were trying to analyse the meaning in his lyrics.
7. In the Beatles' song that this photo should remind you of, who has the motorcar?

Answer: banker

The lines tells us that, "On the corner is a banker with a motorcar, The little children laugh at him behind his back."
"Penny Lane" was written by Paul, who took the name from a street near where he grew up. The shopping area around it is also known as Penny Lane.
It was released, in 1967, as a double A sided single with "Strawberry Fields Forever". Both songs were added to the "Magical Mystery Tour" album, also in 1967.
8. In the Beatles' song that this cute little fellow reminds you of, what was the name of Rocky's girl?

Answer: Magil

The line informs us that "Her name was Magil, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy."
The song was written by Paul who later admitted to making fun of folk singers when he wrote it. It was released on "The Beatles" (or "The White Album") in 1968.
9. In the Beatles' song of the same title, what does his baby have him wrapped up in?

Answer: chains

The song starts out by telling us, "Chains, my baby's got me locked up in chains."
"Chains" was actually written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and was first recorded by The Cookies (the back-up group for Little Eva).
The Beatles recorded it on their first album "Please Please Me", in 1963.
10. If you listen to the Beatles' lyrics, where would following this picture lead the singer?

Answer: "to your door"

The opening line tells us about "The long and winding road That leads to your door...". Although still credited as a Lennon/McCartney effort, "The Long and Winding Road" was written by Paul, at his home in Scotland. It was recorded in January 1969, immediately after the "Let It Be" album and film, a project that ended up leaving a bad taste in the Beatles' mouths.

The Beatles new manager, Allen Klein, gave the tapes to Phil Spector, known for his 'Wall of Sound' productions, who added the orchestral background for the music.

The changes infuriated Paul, to the point where he listed this as one of his reasons for wanting to see the dissolution of the group. It also made the song the last number one hit the Beatles had, in 1970.
