Typical Sheffield Pub Quiz Questions........

Recommended Posts

Tis a good guess, Slimsid, but incorrect. Hey Jude (which begun life as Hey Jules, for John's son [to Cynthia]) was a number one hit in 1968. At the time it was the longest song to ever make number one, clocking in at 7 minutes 11 seconds. The reason for such a long duration was supposedly Paul's idea, to go one better than Richard Harris' version of Macarthur Park which had a duration of just over seven minutes.

 

Like Hey Jude, the Beatles' last number one hit single was released on their own Apple label. Its b-side (superior to the a-side in my opinion) was written by George Harrison.

 

Anyone else?

Bob Holness didn't sound big on the radio. When I saw him on TV he was about a foot tall. And his name doesn't end with a Y.

As I will be signing off soon, for anyone interested, the answer to 'What was the Beatles' last UK Number One hit single' (Guinness Book of Hit Singles) is:-

 

The Ballad of John and Yoko. It was c/w Old Brown Shoe, a mighty record. Incidentally, only Paul (bass, drums, piano and backing vocal) and John (acoustic and electric guitars, percussion and lead vocal) performed on the song.
