Abbey Road Trivia Questions

1. Which two songs on The Beatles "Abbey Road" album were released as a double A-sided single in the UK?

From Quiz
Anatomy of an Album: "Abbey Road"

Answer: Something/Come Together

"Something" was written and sung by George Harrison. It was the first song written by him to be released as a Beatles A-side. "Come Together" was written by John Lennon but credited to Lennon/McCartney. "Something/Come Together" was a number four hit on the UK singles chart in 1969. "Something" reached number three and "Come Together" was number one for one week on the Billboard Hot 100 the same year. "Something" was inspired not as many had thought by his wife at the time, Pattie Boyd, but by the singer Ray Charles. "Come Together" was inspired by Timothy (Turn on, tune in, drop out) Leary's 1969 campaign for governor of California called "Come together, join the party" against Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately for Leary his campaign came to nothing and he was sent to prison for possession of marijuana.

2. What soft drink was mentioned in the lyrics to "Come Together"?

From Quiz Remembering the Beatles - "Abbey Road"

Answer: Coca-Cola

This song was written by John Lennon at the request of Timothy Leary, the LSD advocate who had decided to run for office with the campaign slogan of "Come Together". Lennon wrote the song in May of 1969 during his famous Montreal "bed-in" with Yoko Ono. Leary was arrested and jailed before he could use the song, so it was recorded by The Beatles. "He shoot Coca Cola, he say I know you, you know me, One thing I can tell you is you got to be free. Come together, right now, over me."

3. When was the entire album "Abbey Road" recorded?

From Quiz The Beatles' "Abbey Road" Album

Answer: 1969

Save for a few re-recordings, editing sessions and the new song "I Me Mine," which came out on "Let it Be," "Abbey Road" was the Beatles' last album to be recorded before Paul announced the group's separation on April 10th, 1970, nine days after "I Me Mine" was recorded.

4. On the cover, who is pictured with a cigarette in his right hand?

From Quiz Abbey Road

5. In track three on the "Abbey Road" album "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", what are the names of the two girls screaming from the gallery?

From Quiz Anatomy of an Album: "Abbey Road"

Answer: Rose and Valerie

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was written by Paul McCartney but credited to Lennon/McCartney. Paul Sings: "Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free) The judge does not agree And he tells them so, o, o, o" John Lennon described "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" as more of Paul's granny music. After a car crash which caused him to be absent from the Abbey Road recording studio for eight days, John Lennon was back in the recording studio. Along with the other Beatles he was not very happy about how long Paul McCartney was taking on this track.

6. How did the singer in "Something" answer the question, "will my love grow"?

From Quiz Remembering the Beatles - "Abbey Road"

Answer: I don't know

Written by George Harrison after hearing James Taylor's "Something in the Way She Moves", this was the only Beatles song that Frank Sinatra would sing. He called it the "greatest love song ever written", but changed the lyrics "You stick around and it may show" to "You stick around, Jack, she might show." "You're asking me will my love grow", with "I don't know, I don't know."

7. Who was rumored to be the woman in the blue dress that walked into the shot on the back cover?

From Quiz The Beatles' "Abbey Road" Album

Answer: Jane Asher

Jane Asher, Paul McCartney's girlfriend and fiancé throughout much of the sixties, was rumored to have walked in front of the camera, which made the cameraman yell at her. She was said to have done this because she was angry at Paul because of his recent marriage to Linda Eastman.

8. According to 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', where did Maxwell want to take Joan out?

From Quiz Abbey Road

Answer: the pictures

9. Ringo Sings and Writes! Ringo Starr sings about a garden on the "Abbey Road" album. Which sea creature does the garden belong to?

From Quiz Anatomy of an Album: "Abbey Road"

Answer: Octopus

"Octopus's Garden" was written and sung by Ringo Starr. It was only the second song written by Ringo Starr and it was the last song written by him and singing lead vocal to be released by The Beatles. Ringo was inspired to write the song when on a boat in the Mediterranean Sea owned by actor/comedian Peter Sellers. The captain explained to Ringo how octopuses gather up shiny objects and stones to build their gardens with. There have been cover versions by Reparata and the Delrons and by The Punkles with the song being sung by their drummer Markey Starkey. Melissa Joan Hart did a cover version in her 1999 movie "Sabrina Down Under".

10. Who was Maxwell Edison's first victim in "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"?

From Quiz Remembering the Beatles - "Abbey Road"

Answer: Joan

Only Paul McCartney could get away with writing and recording a novelty song about a serial killer. After killing his girlfriend, Maxwell went on to murder his teacher and a judge. "Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine, calls her on the phone, "Can I take you out to the pictures Joan? But as she's getting ready to go, a knock comes on the door. Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head. Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead."

From Quiz Anatomy of an Album: "Abbey Road"

Answer: John, Ringo, Paul and George

The order The Beatles are crossing Abbey Road in is John Lennon in a white suit, Ringo Starr in a black suit, Paul McCartney in a blue suit with no shoes and George Harrison in jeans and a blue shirt. The photograph for the "Abbey Road" album cover was one of six that were taken on Friday 8th August 1969. Photographer Iain Macmillan took the shots standing on a ladder in the middle of Abbey Road while a policeman held up the traffic.

Darling, if you leave me, I'll never make it alone, Believe me when I beg you, ooo, don't ever leave me alone."

16. Which song on the The Beatles "Abbey Road" album are these lyrics from? "Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here"

From Quiz Anatomy of an Album: "Abbey Road"

Answer: Here Comes The Sun

"Here Comes The Sun" was written and sung by George Harrison. George Harrison may have written "Here Comes The Sun" as a response to the hard time he was having in 1969. He was arrested for possession of marijuana, had his tonsils removed and temporarily left The Beatles. John Lennon did not play on the song as he was still recovering from a car crash in Golspie, Scotland. He received 17 stitches in a facial wound when his Austin Maxi went off the road. The American astronomer Carl Sagan failed to get "Here Comes The Sun" included on the Voyager Golden Record that was attached to the Voyager probes launched in 1977. EMI would not release the rights so it was not included even though The Beatles were all in favour of the idea.

17. Where would the singer in "Octopus's Garden" like to be?

From Quiz Remembering the Beatles - "Abbey Road"

Answer: Under the sea

This song was written by Ringo Starr, and was inspired by octopus stories told him by a boat captain during a 1968 family boating trip. "I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus's garden in the shade. He'd let us in, knows where we've been, in his octopus's garden in the shade."

Answer: You Never Give Me Your Money

"You Never Give Me Your Money" was written by Paul McCartney but credited to Lennon/McCartney. Paul Sings: "You never give me your money you only give me your funny paper And in the middle of negotiations You break down" These lyrics are about Paul McCartney's mistrust of American Allen Klein who took over control of The Beatles' business affairs in 1969 after the death of their manager Brian Epstein. The "Abbey Road" album entered the UK album chart at number one and spent 17 non-consecutive weeks at the top. It spent 11 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the US album chart. "Abbey Road" was the best selling album of 1969 in the UK and the fourth best selling album of the '60s in the UK.

29. What is the missing word in the title of this song from the "Abbey Road" Album, "________ Pam"?

From Quiz Anatomy of an Album: "Abbey Road"

Answer: Polythene

"Polythene Pam" was written by John Lennon but credited to Lennon/McCartney. John sings: "Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt She's the kind of a girl that makes the News of the World Yes you could say she was attractively built" The "News of the World" was a UK national Sunday newspaper (scandal sheet) first published in 1843. It was closed down in 2011 by owner Rupert Murdoch because of the phone hacking scandal that engulfed it. John Lennon described this song as a bit of crap he wrote in India. It was inspired by a girl he met at someones flat/apartment who dressed in polythene. The title is named for a Beatles' fan from the Cavern club in Liverpool Pat Hodgett. Her nickname was Polythene Pat, because she used to eat polythene. She would eat it plain or cold after burning it. It is always nice to know the history of songs but this one must be one of the strangest. John Lennon sings the song with a very pronounced Liverpool (scouse) accent.

30. How did "Polythene Pam" look?

From Quiz Remembering the Beatles - "Abbey Road"

Answer: Like a man

Two women were John Lennon's inspirations for "Polythene Pam". One was a fan from The Beatles' old club days who ate polythene and was know as Polythene Pat. The other was a girl named Stephanie who dressed in a polythene bag. "Well you should see Polythene Pam, she's so good looking but she looks like a man. Well, you should see her in drag dressed in a polythene bag, Yes you should see Polythene Pam, Yeah, yeah, yeah."
