Did you know that legendary British record producer Joe Meek once turned down The Beatles and described them as "just another bunch of noise, copying other people's music"?

Did you know that there are two different songs that feature Paul McCartney rhythmically chewing on raw celery for the percussion track? One is 'Vegetables' by The Beach Boys (1967), the other is 'Receptacle For The Respectable' by Super Furry Animals (2001).

Did you know that on his original hand-written lyric sheet for 'Here Comes The Sun', George wrote the first line of the chorus as "Here comes the sun (scoobiedoobie)"?
