So here's a start up to list all the Beatles references we've heard (or seen) in movies, songs, TV shows, etc.!

I've never seen "The Rutles" or "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", but I heard they are both funny films. I've seen "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" which is an old musical movie, but I don't like it and I don't like "Across The Universe" either. I guess I just don't like other people singing their songs. LOL.

There are many other brief Beatle references I can think of, but I'm just mentioning some movies that are very Beatle inspired/related/based on for now.

I'm watching a movie right now called "Almost Famous" and it has Beatle references in it. It's one of my most favorite films ever. :)

Oh yeah, I've seen that movie before :P There's a girl nicknamed "Penny Lane" in it, right?

 

Well, for "The Social Network" movie they feature "Baby You're A Rich Man" near the end along with the credits, because, well, I guess Mark Zuckerberg became one I only fast-forwarded the movie in 3 mins just to watch that part :)

Yesss, the girl in that movie nicknamed "Penny Lane" reminds me so much of myself. She's a music freak and suicidal.

 

I'm watching Paul's film called "Give My Regards To Broad Street" right now. Ringo is in it too. It's so bad it's funny. LOL.

I LOVE "BROADSTREET!" I'm always quoting the bit after the cymbal knocks over..."Gonna be one of those days!" LOL :]

In this song by Ricky Nelson, "Garden Party" mentions Yoko brought her "walrus" a.k.a. John attending his Garden Party, along with Mr. Hughes who hid in Dylan's shoes (a.k.a. George Harrison) ;) because I read that George's alias during his travels was Mr. Hughes and he was in Dylan's shoes because he was supposedly planning to do a cover album of Bob Dylan's songs. I thought this was interesting.

 

 

This was performed weeks before Rick Nelson's untimely death in a plane crash in 1985.

My new favorite sitcom, Melissa & Joey, Mel learns a few phrases in Japanese.

Joe teaches her "Konnichiwa" and "Sayonara" and she says,

"Hello, Goodbye, Wow, I can learn a whole Beatles song!"

Summer Rain, sung by Johnny Rivers; Written by Jim Hendricks

All summer long we were dancing in the sand
Everybody just kept on playing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"

I hear that song Summer Rain on the radio all the time! I love the little Sgt. Pepper part! haha!

[Annalina Lennon McCartney]

Me too! :P

Here's another reference, for the movie The Tower Heist, a guy said, "I know some of you believe I'm the reason Paul McCartney didn't buy an apartment here in 2008. Maybe I did get a little confused about the meaning of the word "wanker"." LMAO!
