Title: Trivia
Post by: Patton on March 08, 2004, 02:44:04 PM
Trivia! 8) We all know it. So why hasn't it been done before. Anywho let's try. Here are the rules to my trivia

Rules
1. A question will be asked about the Beatles. To answer just post it under the question.
2. Each person can only give one answer to each question (it's only fair)
3. The first person to post the correct answer will get a point. I will tally up the points. the winner will get a prize! ;D
4. then I'll ask another Question.
5. the questions will have random hardnessess?

1st Question
Who is the Walrus?
Title: Re: Trivia

Its John isnt it? I thought that "Glass Onion" was only John being funny. Jeez, I cant remember. I'm losing my mind.
Title: Re: Trivia
Post by: John@work on March 08, 2004, 04:14:07 PM
Both John and Paul ;-)
Title: Re: Trivia
Post by: zipp on March 08, 2004, 04:22:04 PM
The Walrus is Lennon.Why?

Because he sings 'I AM the walrus'.

(It isn't McCartney because he also sings 'The walrus WAS Paul'.)

So it WAS Paul now it IS John.

Post by: Joost on March 08, 2004, 06:06:29 PM
Paul was wearing the walrus costume in the video for I Am The Walrus.

So it's Paul.

Wow! I'm surprised that somebody got that right. It was made to look as if Paul was turned around but he wasn't. when the news got out about the truth it was rumerd that Paul was dead.

Question 3

Actually, it IS Paul, standing on a box. Outtakes from the photo session show this.

The Mal Evans rumor surfaced many years ago, and has been well and truly put to rest.

And about the Walrus: it was John (of course). John was just joking around in Glass Onion. In "God" he sings "I was the Walrus".

Well Patton: you got that wrong about Paul. Tsk :)

Question 3: Ringo sings nothing at the end of All You Need Is Love! Are you thinking of She Loves You? John seems to be singing that (though many think it's Paul: that's a big controversy among some people). But Ringo sings nowt!

Yeah, I've seen pictures where Paul is turned slightly towards the camera and you can see his face - but I was always under the impression that the back cover photo was taken on a seperate occasion. Thanks for clearing that up Maria :)

[/quote]

Yeah I've read all that about who sings She Loves You at the end!! What a nightmare! I think it was decided that Paul sang the first line and John joined in on the second - I think that's right!

The only other Beatle song featured at the end of All You Need Is Love is Yesterday - John sings just that word on two occasions I believe.

I agree with you Maria - I don't think Ringo sang anything.
