Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "George Harrison" | "George is the first musician to use a non-Western insrument in rock-n-roll. He learned to play the sitar, tabla, tamboura and other instruments from India. Now instruments from India, the Middle East, Africa, the Orient and other regions are occasionaly used by rock bands and musicians as varied as Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Sting, Phil Collins, Midnight Oil and others. Rush guitarist also uses Eastern European instruments like the mandola and bouzouki. And did somebody say Peter Gabriel?" | - Rock'n'Roll Evolution #9 |
| "George Harrison" | "In the late 60s George released a World/Electronic music soundtrack album for the film "Wonderwall". Later on he released "Electronic Sounds" which consists of just that. It holds the historical distinction of being possibly the first album featuring nothing but synthesizer playing. It's just George and his Moog. He pioneered the use of synthesizers in rock'n'roll. And you thought he was just a guitarist!" | - Roland Korg |
| "John Lennon" | "John went on to have a successful solo career until he was shot dead by Mark David Chapman in 1980. In an ABC news interview he was asked if the Beatles would ever get back together. He replied that he "didn't know" if that would ever happen." | - Celeste |
| "Ringo Starr" | "Ringo has an interesting solo career, though he had no #1 albums, he had an All-Starr Band with other popular musicians." | - Paul Warren |
| "George Harrison" | "George, the quiet Beatle, released the album "All Things Must Pass" which was Harrison's best album ever. " | - Paul Warren |
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Bad Boy" | The first song (and only cover) the greatest band on earth did without mentioning the title, the two words are in the lyrics but not together. - Alan the Ottoman |
| "Revolution 9" | The words "Number nine" repeated by a sound technician throughout the song, interspersed with nonsensical one-liners and sound effects, but the word "Revolution" is not mentioned. This song was John Lennon's idea of what a revolution would sound like if it was recorded. Paul McCartney and producer George Martin tried to keep this song off the White Album, but they lost out. - Jimsdun |
| "The Inner Light" | Neither "inner" nor "light" are heard at all in the song - Alan of Seville |

"Hey Jude"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: The movement you need is on your shoulder
Why They're Nonsensical: McCartney says he writes nonsense lyrics for his songs until he can fill them out. This line proved tough to replace but Lennon told him it was brilliant and he should keep it.
Submitted by: Matt Stevenson
| "Get Back"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was woman,
But she was another man. Why They're Nonsensical: These lines, in conclusion, imply that Loretta Martin was a man, as unlikely a name as "Loretta" is for a man. And conceivably this peculiarly named man could have thought that he was a woman, but that is just the point -- he. Using "she" in reference to this person makes no sense when in conclusion the person is said to be a man.

"She's Leaving Home"
The Insincere Lyrics: Fun Is the one thing that money can't buy.
Why They're Insincere: Didn't they also say "Money can't buy me love" in another song a couple years earlier? It would have worked if they instead sang, "Fun is JUST one thing that money can't buy."
Submitted by: Thaddeus Gammelthorpe
| "Ticket To Ride"

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"
The Insulting Lyrics: Bang Bang Maxwell's Silver Hammer came down upon her head,
Bang Bang Maxwell's Silver Hammer made sure that she was dead Why They're Insulting: Because it's a very mean song; the fact that Maxwell sneaks up from behind people and bashes them in the head killing them!

| "Your Mother Should Know"
The Insulting Lyrics: Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born Though she was born a long, long time ago Your mother should know (Your mother should...)

"What You're Doing"

Why They're Inappropriate: This song seems mainly about unrequited love. The above 'invitational' line in the bridge doesn't seem to fit.
Submitted by: Frank

"I Saw Her Standing There"
The Dirty Lyrics: Well, she was just seventeen, you know what I mean.
And the way she looked was way beyond compare. So, how could I dance with another, Oh, when I saw her standing there? Well, she looked at me and I, I could see That before too long I'd fall in love with her. She wouldn't dance with another, Oh, when I saw her standing there. Well, my heart went zoom When I crossed that room And I held her hand in mine! Oh, we dance through the night And we held each other tight And before too long I fell in love with her. Now I'll never dance with another, Oh, since I saw her standing there. Why They're Dirty: In England, at the time this song was written, the age of cosent was 17 years old. So, the girl he saw at the show was prime and legal. He got excited as he "crossed that room." The use of the word "dance" is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

The Dirty Lyrics: Last night I said to my girl
You know you never even try girl Come on! (Come on!) Come on!! (Come on!!) Come on!!! (Come on!!!) Come on!!!! (Come on!!!!) Please please me....Oh yeah!!!! The way that I please you! Why They're Dirty: He complains to his girl that she's lowsy at giving oral pleasure so he coaches her along as she finally learns how to please her man. The escalating echoes of "Come on!" is the tell-tale sign of the true meaning of this song.

"The Ballad of John and Yoko"
The Lyrics: Standing in the dock of Southampton, trying to get to Holland or France... Finally made the plane into Paris, honeymooning down by the Seine...you can get married in Gibraltar near Spain...Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton...Made a lightning trip to Vienna...Caught the early plane back to London...
Why: The Ballad of John and Yoko has the most references to places of any Beatle tune, explicitly mentioning 5 citys, 3 countries and Gibraltar, plus the river Seine. Paul is doing well with Back in the USSR and Get Back, but John picks the longer straw with this one.
Submitted by: Olav Gunnar Ballo

Oh, du bist so schön, Schön wie ein Diamant, Ich will mit dir gehen, Komm gib mir deine Hand. Komm gib mir deine Hand. Komm gib mir deine Hand. In deinen Armen bin ich glücklich und froh; Das war noch nie bei einer andern Einmal so. Einmal so. Einmal so. Oh, komm doch, . . . In deinen Armen bin ich glücklich und froh; . . . Oh, du bist so schön, .
Why: This is the German version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand". In order to maintain the song meter and syllable setup correctly some lyrics were altered in the translation process. The German title literally means, "Come give to me your hand".
