I just found this thread when trying to find out the lyrics to "How do you sleep"... I read through it, and it's great! I hope somebody still remembers this, since the last post is a year old.. I'm a pretty new Beatles fan, I used to listen almost strictly to rap, but then I rediscovered the Beatles whom I had loved as a child (I'm 21 now).
At any rate, a little more on the Beatles on the Simpsons...
In the episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian, she encounters Paul and Linda McCartney on the roof of the Quik-E-Mart, and they support her decision to be a vegetarian. This leads to Apu (the Indian owner of the Quik-E-Mart) doing his own rendition of Sgt Pepper. Quite funny.
In the episode where Homer reminisces about being in a barbershop quartet, there are several Beatles references... For instance the group breaks up after Barney and his eccentric Japanese girlfriend (Yoko anyone?) become distant from the other members, and record a track called "Number 8" (which just goes, 'Number 8, BELCH, Number 8, Belch, Numver 8....'). Later in the episode the group gets back together to do a concert on the roof of Moe's Tavern (a la Apple rooftop concert). During the concert a limo pulls up, the window rolls down, and George Harrison sticks his head out and says "It's been done."
Hrmm that's all that comes to mind right now about the Beatles on the Simpsons...
Interestingly, I'm watching Dumb and Dumber right now, and the two goofballs were in a diner, examining the jukebox and they say, "Hey they have the Monkeys!, You know they were a huge influence on the Beatles" hehee
Well I hope somebody reads this, and maybe this forum could get going again, cause I love taking in all this Beatles knowledge.
Thanks
