Lennon-McCartney In (some Of) The Beatles Dramas

What things do you like best about Ringo?

Anon!!!!

I cannot emphasise enough how much I love Ringo. I just adore him. First of all, I love how much the other three loved him. I love Paul going "Ringo was like a GI!" and even John being tongue-tied and dippy about him having a car and a beard and a proper career when they were just stupid little boys. I love his low, gorgeous voice and his lovely teeth and his incredible blue eyes and the way his expression can go from "Catholic stained glass window saint" to "your cousin's cheeky ex-boyfriend who will fuck you into oblivion behind the offy" in two seconds flat. I love how supremely self-confident and secure he always was about loving other people, his propensity for giving and receiving cuddles, his devotion to his friends. I love his redemption arc! He had a shit start in life, he identified that he was an alcoholic and he dealt with it. Happy 35 years Ringo! I love the way he refused to throw Paul under the bus and insisted he'd always love George no matter what legalese was chucked at him from that quarter, and the way he looked after John when nobody else did. I love him insisting flatly and with northern sincerity that he's seen John twice since he died. I just love him so much, the metronome, the heartbeat of it all, I AM THE FUCKING CLICK TRACK

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAUL MCCARTNEY BORN: JUNE 18, 1942 “I don’t take me seriously. If we get some giggles, I don’t mind.”

“I told John to close his eyes because I could feel this tension between him and Paul. I did them (together) afterwards; I got them looking different ways because there was such a tension.”

Here's a comic based off of one of my favorite scenes from @purechocolade's fanfic, On Our Way Back Home! It's an extremely long story but it's honestly one of my favorite works of fiction at the moment—it's such a shame there isn't more fanart for it ;-;

“I will tell you my first and my last memories of The Beatles.”

“The last was in 1967. Brian Epstein had hired me to shoot some record sleeves. It all happened in February during the recording of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I had to build a photo studio inside the Abbey Road studio building, in a room next to their recording studio. I stayed there for one week. They needed group pictures of the four, so I had to wait a long time since it seemed there was always one of them hanging around somewhere – talking to the angels!”

— French photographer Jean-Marie Perier.

I Don’t Know (Johnny, Johnny) 1960

I’ve listened to this a million times and I think I finally have the lyrics down as best as possible.

Paul: Well now, Johnny Johnny, oh Johnny Johnny, Oh Johnny Johnny, Johnny Johnny, Johnny Johnny, oh lord, Johnny boy.

How we gonna tell ‘em? Why don’t we go and keep on home?

Well, well, Johnny, my boy.

Why don’t we go and tell 'em what we’re after? Johnny, ooooh Johnny Johnny boy, tell them the message of ours.

Oh, Johnny, well, you got me, will you be my boy? Hey, take it, John. Ha!

John: Oh little boy, packing my shoes, as if I’m not gonna lose you.

That’s right, hon. I’m gonna see my sister soon.

She don’t see me, I don’t know really what I’m gonna do. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. Well!

Paul: Well, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

When I call you Johnny boy

Well Johnny John, oooh Johnny, when I’m calling you

Well, I don’t know what I’m gonna tell 'em. That’s why I’m asking my best boy.

Will you tell me, will you tell me?

John: Well I’ll tell the fellas that I’d travel with you (or “i do love you”???)

Oh when you pull I shouldn’t be back, be back this time. I don’t know if that’s good.

Paul: I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I tell my father ya want me, Johnny.

John: I love you, Paul! Aaaaahh

Paul: You think you’d better leave, you think you follow me. Aaah Ah, we better leave right now. I’m gonna leave.

John: Take the next bus out of town, it won’t let nobody down.

Both: Well, we’re gonna leave together, get out of town, leave together.

Paul: Won’t let you down. Get out, get out. Oh, oh, oh, oh, John x10, oh

John: I don’t know x6, know, know, know, know

Well, I’ll just survive. Turn your head from somebody else’s kiss. I’m gonna leave, I’m leaving with you. Yeah, someday x4

Paul: Well, I’ll tell ya (John: Yeeaaaaah)

Well, I’ll tell ya, you’re all I want, you’re all I want, you’re all I want

Let’s go get out of town. Aaah, oooooh, oh, we gotta move far, far away from this old town.

Move on over, leave. We’re going over, across the stream.

No one will know who we are, are. We gotta go away. We’re gonna go far away. Well, we’re gonna go far away. x2

John: Well, go, go, go, go. Oooooh

Both: Hey, hey, hey x10

John: I’m gonna leave. We’re gonna leave that town

Both: We’re gonna leeeeave

Paul: *laughs adorably*
