I love the Beatles and i was wondering if you could get other songs like; hey jude, mean Mr. Musterd or maxwell’s silver hammer for the Wii. I have internet connection on the TV for the WII. does anyone know how?
Yep! Okay this will be easier to explain because you have an internet connection for your Wii. What you need is two things: Wii(called Nintendo now) Points, and space on your Wii. For the latter I would really recommend getting an SD card for extra space(2GB would be great) and if you have one already, even better. You can also use MiniSD and MicroSD cards provided they have a SD adapter. For the Wii Points, you can buy them stores like Gamestop, Target, Walmart, Bestbuy, and so on. They cost $20 and they have 2000 Wii/Nintendo Points. You use the code on the card in the Wii Shop Channel where it says to redeem Wii Points. You can also buy Wii Points on the Wii Shop Channel with a credit card(Mastercard or Visa) for 1000, 2000, 3000, or 5000 Points. 100 Points is equal to 1 dollar. Once you have Wii Points, you go to the main menu of The Beatles Rock Band. Go to the Music Store and there you can buy more songs! They have the remainders of Abbey Road, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Rubber Soul. Most songs cost 200 Points with some songs worth more or less(Her Majesty is 100, and certain Abbey Road combos are 350). You can download the songs you can afford, and then you can play them. Hope I was of help!(Unfortunetly they don’t have Help! for download, but maybe in the future!)
i’m doing an art project and i wanted to include a quote from a song or something……any suggestions? thanks!
"the movement you need is on your shoulder"
Hey Jude
Paul says that this line was only meant to fill in, he thought it was daft and conjured up images of pirates with a parrot on their shoulder, but when he played the rough verision to john and informed him "oh I’ll come back later and take this out" John according to Paul said "you won’t you know that’s the best line, I know what you mean, I get it"
everytime he gets to that line Paul remembers John and so do I.
From lennon’s Beautiful Boy
"life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans"
I am really getting into The Beatles lately, and I am doing my research on what the best investment of my time and money would be for albums to buy would be.
First of all, I already have four Beatles albums on CD that I got from my dad: A Hard Day’s Night, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Revolver, and Abbey Road.
I am interested in getting much more music, and it seems that the best way to do that would be to buy anthology-type albums, that have the ‘best’ songs all together.
I was looking at sets, and I was wondering if anyone has opinions on if they are good or not.
Here are ones that I have been considering:
The Beatles Anthology: http://beatles.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=BEAWEB&sku=BEA38034
Anthology CD part 1: http://beatles.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=BEAWEB&sku=BEA38010
Anthology CD part 2: http://beatles.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=BEAWEB&sku=BEA38017
Anthology CD part 3: http://beatles.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=BEAWEB&sku=BEA38018
LOVE: http://beatles.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=BEAWEB&sku=BEA40119
1: http://beatles.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/product?sourceCode=BEAWEB&sku=BEA38007
Does anyone own any of these, because I want to know if they are really any good.
Do you recommend getting actual albums and completing my collection that way, such as Let It Be, and The White Album, or getting anthologies?
Also, I heard talk that some albums or anthologies will be redone and the sound quality will be made better some time in 2009. Does anyone know anything about that? Would it be better to wait and spend my money on even better quality, or get CD’s now?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
i own 1, anthology part 2, and LOVE.
1 is a good cd, it has most of the classics and you cant go wrong getting that
anthology part 2 is good as well, it has some "original" recordings where they talk in it and stuff and i think it would be nice to own all of the anthologies eventually. its also good because if you can get it for cheap its a two disk and comes with a total of 45 songs
LOVE is good if you already know the beatles music because it’s basically a revamped version where some of the songs are mixed together. like a modern phycadellic kind of thing that they used for cirque de soeli (sp??) so id recommned that for sure but probably after you buy and know some of the songs from the other two
hi babes
what the heck is so great about the beatles
they feel like a cat scratching at your throat
and they sound like the lice eating at my armpits
experimental rock sucks
why cant we all just be like MJ
mkay, babe?
by the way
the beatles once tipped a piano into the audience in 1963 at the cavern club
they should’ve been arrested
they almost killed a bunch of people
this is what’s so great about the beatles:
1.their influence on pop culture is still being felt even today;for more on that read this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles%27_influence_on_popular_culture
2.they changed the way that bands use the recording studio to make music,for more details check out this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles%27_recording_technology
3.one of the 1st groups to treat an album as a work of art in its own right instead of just a collection of singles
4.they unofficially halted the practice of artists making foreign language versions of their hit singles,thus unofficially making english the official language of rock and roll and all its sub-genres.klaus meine of the scorpions said that when they started,that the only way they would really make it big was to record in english.i attribute this to the beatles influence
5.they made it fashionable for men to grow their hair long
6.they pioneered the big world tours as we know them today,i think the beatles were actually the first band to go on a world tour
7.they were the first band to actually express their true feelings on major world issues of the day instead of keeping quiet(as brian epstein wanted them too)
8.they were the ones who brought the music and instrumentation of india to the west(first western rock band to use indian instruments on record)
9.they were the 1st rock group to actually make money from their record sales and have record sales in the millions.let’s put things in perspective,before the beatles record companies used singles and albums to promote the live show of whatever artist it was because the live shows where were the real money was.it wasn’t expected for an artist to actually make any money from their singles or albums.in fact before the beatles you could sell 200,000 copies of your latest record and have a hit(nowadays,you sell that much its considered a flop).at 1 point during i want to hold your hand’s run on the charts,it sold over 1.5 million copies in 5 days,that’s 300,000 copies a day,in 1964 this was unheard of.no artist back then was expected to sell that many copies of anything.in fact the next single can’t buy me love had so many advance orders(over 1.5 million)it actually debuted at number 1 on the singles charts.nowadays,with soundscan and all that acts debuting at number 1 is old news,but in 1964 it was news because no one had ever done it before in america.
10.1st rock group to take a stand against segregation:when a rumor went out that the audiences at a beatles concert at the gator bowl were going to be segregated,the beatles and their manager sent a letter to the venue owners stating if they were going to do that,then they could have their money back and that the beatles weren’t going to do the show.now there were never plans to do that,but it says a lot about the beatles to take that type of a stand.
11.one of the 1st rock groups to start their own record label.
12.one of the first bands(if not the first)to have the drummer as a featured singer thus paving the way for bands lke genesis and the eagles who have the drummer as their lead singer(or 1 of their lead singers)
13.one of the first groups to have massive popularity worldwide,not just in the us or uk,read this link to get an idea:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Beatles%27_record_sales
14.they also influenced songwriters by departing from the standard 3 chord pop song with the standard verse-chorus-verse-middle eight and why because the beatles had no formal musical training and this gave them the freedom to ignore the conventional rules of pop music and of song-writing in general.in fact the beatles never allowed themselves to be bound by the conventional rules of pop and rock,they were always constantly pushing the boundaries of modern music.look at the single of hey jude in 1968,at the time no pop single was more than 3 minutes long and why?that was one of the traditions of the time,but the beatles went against the tradition and it paid off
15.they also inspired musicians to acquire certain instruments and music companies to create new instruments and here’s what i mean by that:they made the instruments they played household names.in fact before george harrison,no one knew what a grestch guitar was,but when he started playing one,suddenly every amateur guitarist had to have one.it was john and george who made people go out and buy rickenbacker guitars.in fact when george got his 360/12 in 1964 and played it on a hard day’s night,every band in the world wanted their records to sound just like a hard day’s night and thus they all went out and bought rickenbacker 360/12’s.in fact george was the reason why roger mcguinn of the byrds acquired his rickenbacker 360/12.when paul was seen with his hofner violin bass,suddenly every aspiring bass player wanted one.when ringo was seen with his ludwig drums and zilidjan cymbals,suddenly every aspiring drummer had to have them.every time the beatles changed guitars,suddenly everybody had to use the same instruments or equipment that the beatles used.heck they inspired music companies to make new instruments,for instance in 1967 danelectro,to capitalize on the popularity of the sitar in rock music,actually made an electric sitar.john and george were given the 1st 2 ever made.in fact because the beatles used vox amps for their live shows and even on their records,every other band had to have vox amplifiers.
16.lennon and mccartney were among the first songwriters to have a stake in the publishing of their music(by forming their own publishing company,northern songs,in 1963)as opposed to having the record company control it all and dole out a tiny sum of money to them.
17.they totally changed the artist producer relationship in the studio,instead of the producer bringing material to the artist and telling them how to record it,the basic attitude being"i’m the producer,you’re the band and you’ll record what i tell you to and how i tell you to."the beatles and george martin actually worked together in the studio.in fact by the rubber soul sessions of 1965,the beatles were either asking martin for suggestions or they would tell him what they wanted to do or how they wanted a particular song to sound.this was totally unheard of at the time.do you know why producers and artists now enjoy the collaborative relationship they now do in the studio?the best example of this being the quincy jones/mj relationship?credit it to the beatles working relationship with george martin.
18.they redefined what it meant to be an international celebrity and here’s what i mean,before the beatles came along america was considered to be the center of the entertainment world.anybody who was known in music,movies,and the arts in general for the most part were from the us.the vast majority of international celebrities prior to the beatles were from the us.the beatles were among the 1st acts to achieve international stardom that weren’t from america.to give you an idea of how america was percieved in the music world before the beatles,in the uk,for instance,their record charts were dominated primarily by us artists,in fact with the exception of tommy steele and cliff richard,there really weren’t any british rock stars.when an american act came to the UK,they almost always got top billing,even though they may have only had one or two hits each,but because they were american they got top billing.take for instance the beatles march 1963 tour with tommy roe and chris montez,now tommy and chris only had 2 big hits each,but because they were american,they were initally given top billing,but a couple of days into the tour,the order was changed and the beatles got top billing.in fact i venture to say that the beatles were the first english rock stars and their coming on to the american rock scene like they did not only encouraged other rock acts from the UK,but also rock acts from other countries as well.
19.1st band to make music videos,of course in those days they were called "promo films",other artists(queen,MJ,and duran duran to name a few)seized this concept and made their own contributions to it.
20.they inspired other bands and artists to start writing their own material.here’s what i mean by that,in 1963 the beatles wrote i wanna be your man for the stones(in fact they finished practically in front of them),when mick and keith saw how easy it was to write songs,they were inspired to do it themselves.in april of 1964,the high numbers(the group that would become the who),auditioned for EMI and got rejected.one of the reasons given in the rejection letter was lack of original material.in fact the rejection letter stated that(and i’m pharaphrasing it here)said that with the arrival and popularity of the beatles,the trend became less about doing covers and more about doing original material,which eventually became the impetuous for pete townshend to start writing his own songs.
i end with a quote from malcolm mcdowell from near the end of the compleat beatles:"it has to be stoically accepted that the beatles were a phonomenon of the 60’s,the 70’s and beyond were only to feel their influence."
also billboard just released it’s top 40 albums of the decade and guess what album is number 1?
the beatles 2000 compilation album #1’s with over 11.4 million copies sold,not bad for a band that’s been broken up for almost 4 decades!

-Have you ever done a school project on The Beatles?
-Only all the time, lol. I’m working on one right now, where we have to write an essay on what album, book, or movie we would want with us if we were stuck on a deserted island, and I chose the White Album. Last week I did a biography on George Harrison, and for an "About Me" project I put George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr as my inspirations.
-Do you Instantly notice the words "The Beatles" when you are reading something?
-Yep. I could be scanning an article and if I feel like I saw the word "Beatles" I will go back and read the entire thing to find it.
-Have you seen all of their movies? Which ones haven’t you seen? Which is your fav?
-I’ve seen all of them except Let it Be. I haven’t found the time to watch it yet. So far A Hard Day’s Night and Yellow Submarine are my favorites.
BQ: If you could go back in time and stop John Lennon’s Murder, would you? Or do you believe that he is where he is supposed to be?
-Absolutely. I don’t think it was John’s time at all. He didn’t deserve to go the way he did.
The Beatles – Penny Lane (Copyright 1967 EMI Records)
“Penny Lane” is a song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney, recorded during the Sgt. Pepper sessions, and released in February 1967 (see 1967 in music) as one side of a double A-sided single, along with John Lennon’s “Strawberry Fields Forever”. The single was the result of the record company wanting a new release after several months of no new Beatles releases. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the song at #449 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Production began in Studio 2 at Abbey Road on 29 December 1966 with piano as the main instrument. On 17 January 1967, professional classical trumpeter David Mason recorded the piccolo trumpet solo. The solo, inspired by a performance of Bach’s 2nd Brandenburg Concerto, is in a mock-Baroque style for which the piccolo trumpet (a small instrument built about one octave higher than the standard instrument) is particularly suited, having a clean and clear sound which penetrates well through thicker midrange textures. Penny Lane production effects include percussion effects, piano through a Vox guitar amplifier with added reverb.
The original US promo single mix of “Penny Lane” had an additional flourish of piccolo trumpet notes at the end of the song. This mix was quickly superseded by one without the last trumpet passage, but not before a handful of copies had been pressed and sent to radio stations. These recordings are among the rarest and most valuable Beatles collectibles. A stereo mix of the song with the additional trumpet added back in was included on the US Rarities compilation in 1980.
In other news, I have added the lyrics to this song so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song! Enjoy

sorrie bout so meny beatles questions but i need help for my research paper (:
i already said in my paper how they wrote their own lyrics n talked bout da stuff goin on in da world but i need moree stuff!
Here’s my paper on the Beatles. Hope in comes in use. I also forgot to include that they were the first to use feedback, and Ringo was the first drummer to use the match grip.
What do you love most about Rock and Roll? The head-banging, the rebellious spirit, and the guitar solos? Yet, it all had to start somewhere and that is with the one rock group that changed the world: The Beatles. The Beatles (consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) are the most inspirational and greatest rock group in the history of music. They produced over twenty albums that still inspire bands today.
The Beatles were the first group to have a rebellious attitude. For example, they always answered press in a sarcastic and carefree manner. During an interview, someone asked the group after their first recording session if there was anything they didn’t like. George Harrison replied, "Well, your tie for a start…" Another trend they started for future rockers, was growing long hair. It was considered defiant to have unkempt hair, and long beards. They were also the first group to openly state that they had taken drugs. Paul McCartney was asked in an interview if he had taken LSD. He admitted that he’d taken it four times. Every member of the Beatles took drugs and openly admitted it. This was the first time that drugs and rock and roll went hand in hand. The last example of rebellious acts of the Beatles was their show on top of their recording studio in London. They blared their music across London from their rooftop without a permit and the police interrupted the show after a few songs.
Not only were their appearances and attitudes revolutionary to rock, but their music and lyrics too. Guitar and drum solos were very unpopular during the Beatles time. No music group before the Beatles included guitar/drum solos in almost every one of their songs. They were also the first to scream in their songs, and made harmonizing in the majority of their songs extremely popular. These techniques paved the way for future bands in forming their songs.
Many believe that other bands after The Beatles were the true role models for future rock groups, such as Led Zeppelin or The Who. However, I argue that point with the fact that these bands were directly influenced by The Beatles themselves. Both of these band’s images were young adults playing in a group that took drugs, had rebellious attitudes, and had complicated guitar and drum solos in almost every song. However inspirational both of these bands may have been, they were just following The Beatles example.
The Beatles didn’t just have one style of music, but created songs with many different genres. From rock-pop, to funk, and even to the earliest metal! This would influence later bands to have a wide variety of sounds. Their lyrics and overall message changed with time also. As an early band, most of their songs were about love and relationships. As the years passed on, their lyrics included messages for their audience’s time. As America went to war, The Beatles wrote lyrics that spoke of peace and love, using lines such as, "All you need is love." Future rock groups would use the same techniques. For example, The Who wrote songs about their generation, such as "My Generation."
The Beatles didn’t only influence a few rock groups after themselves, but started a cause that would affect hundreds of bands, making present day bands their posterity. They gave bands techniques such as screaming, harmonizing, effective song writing, and extensive guitar and drum solos. They were the role models of the first group to "stick it to the man", by being sarcastic, taking drugs, and growing their hair out. What you and I love about rock today, was started by one rock group more than forty years ago. The Beatles will be the instigators of rock for the bands of yesterday, today, and tomorrow!
