If not for the fact that they were arguably the greatest rock band ever, they might well be just another 60s band named after a creature. But no, The Beatles are The Beatles, and any referent outside of them is neither here nor there. Curiously, an image of a beetle was never to my knowledge employed in any graphic work associated with them.

Walrus & I Want You (She's So Heavy) represent the absolute apex of Beatle Music.

I always think of a line from the classic Simpsons episode that parodies the Beatles (Homer joins a barbershop quartet) where they are trying to think of a name and one of them suggests paraphrased "Let's have a name that's a funny joke that get's progressively less funny everytime it's said" "How about the B-Sharp's?" "Yeah, the B-Sharps - heh"

Remember when John incurred the wrath of hardcore entomologists by claiming that "We're bigger than the beetles now"?

Well, I have to chime in and say how MUCH I disagree with DMDM. I don't even have either of these tracks in my iTunes. That's how much I treasure them.

I take dmdm for a Johnite, dermahrk for a Paulist.

I'm a converted Johnite. Lennon was unbeatable through Sgt. Pepper, in sad decline thereafter. But yes, I'm a huge Macca-booster these days.

I'm neither and yet both....it's a bit hard to explain.
