Okay, through an amazing spiral through YouTube I ended up watching some Weird Al Yankovic clips. He spoofs the Beatles several times in his music: "Pacman" for "Taxman", "Chicken Pot Pie" for "Live and Let Die", "Hey Jude" set to polka music, etc.

However, I just saw the following shout out in his 2000 "Millennium" VH-1 show (hiding in his underground bunker because the world was ending), and the Beatles are not forgotten when he's packing his Y2K survival kit: http://www.dailymotion.com/related/x2gbrk/video/x2gc5j_vhal-part-3_fun

"What, you sold your thumbs to get me my favorite mustache trimmer"?

OK, Hari, listen closely. Youtube is just the Dark Side, cleverly packaged and marketed. Repeat after me ... I will put down the computer mouse for at least some time every hour. I will put down ...


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

Look, Alexis, I hear what you're saying. It's kind of you to worry. But I can quit any time I want to. Really. There's just one more series I need to watch. It's a ten-parter. And there's a four-parter after that. Two more series. And that's it! And then I can just walk away... after I play a few of my favorite clips.

Why do I feel like Luke confronting Darth Vader in that cave when he was training with Yoda? "Remember your failure in the cave...."

I've just for the first time seen the original (UK) version of The Office.  And Ricky Gervais's character has eerie similarities to Paul McCartney's characteristics, especially during the filming of Let it Be.

Here in the States, Target has been using their version of "Hello/Goodbye" for a while now...not the Boys, but somewhat cutesy and different.  I kinda like it.

Quoted from HeatherBoo
In Ferris Buller's Day Off he is in that parade singing Twist and Shout.


There's not just the Twist and Shout scene in Ferris Buller, there's the scene when he's just got out of the shower he goes on about socialism and other -isms and he quotes the lyrics of "God" by John Lennon.
