Pretty cool to watch. Crazy to think this was 20 years before I was born. Now that I am older 20 years seems like nothing.

And their act was among those on his show that were at the height of controversy. That Ed Sullivan encouraging the wild boys of the era. He was like the Howard Stern of his day.

I know I'm calling the wrath of YB's lightning upon me, but...

For real. I can't freaking stand them.

some interesting trivia here about the meaning behind the lyrics in some of the Beatles' music

https://mashable.com/2014/02/09/beatles-song-references/

for instance...

Paperback Writer

The band liked to be playful with its background vocals and frequently used silly references or phrases to harmonize behind the lead lyrics. In this case, careful listeners will hear the French children's rhyme "Frère Jacques" behind McCartney's lead vocals.

and

I Am the Walrus

After a professor wrote to Lennon to inform him of his class analyzing Beatles lyrics, the snarky songwriter took it as a challenge to produce the most indecipherable song imaginable. References to nursery rhymes are layered along with digs at pop culture -- most notably in the line "elementary penguins singing Hare Krishna," which offended his bandmate and budding Hindu George Harrison.

the link includes videos of all the songs referenced, including a few less familiar songs

kind of fun!
