YouTube is great. Especially if you're like me and you can never get enough of vintage Beatles footage. Even if they're just sitting around the studio picking their noses, I'm engrossed. But there's never any Beatle thingies on TV anymore, so a quick search pulled up gems I'd never seen before. I guess I never realized that they had done videos for their songs.

The Beatles were asked to do many things they weren't thrilled about, movies in particular. But they were generally good sports. Sitting in chairs and mouthing their latest hit, "Ticket to Ride", with unplugged electric guitars in their hands, must have felt ridiculous. They nearly busted out laughing a few times in this one:

Here's another for "We Can Work it Out", again John trying his best to keep cool.

And this one for "Hey Bulldog" is interesting because it was a one-off they hadn't even rehearsed. And yet it's this good.
