Line 5:
** Because there probably wasn't enough room on the tape to go longer. "Hey Jude" is like listening to the very heart of music as a whole. 4 minutes isn't long ''enough.''
*** ''Amen.''
* Why does it say, on at least two different pages of this wiki, that "''Please Please Me'' is about oral sex"? This is far from being the only example here of the common error of presenting hypothesis as if it were proven fact, but it's the one that annoys me the most. According to one poster on the [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20160311120848/http://inktankforums.com/ InkTank forums], this decidedly non-canonical idea comes from '''one''' music critic who's notoriously filthy-minded (not just for this idea alone, either), hence is not the best of sources.
** Well, I find it hard to deny that they intended sexual overtones to be read into the song--at the very least as double entendre--but nothing as specific as oral sex. Remember: the thing about [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]] is that ''it makes people feel smart about themselves'', and since most people are dumb and perhaps recognize it on some level, that's a common need.
* This is more of a "it makes me curious" than something that annoys me, but I wonder what Yoko Ono, being Japanese, thought of Ringo's stage name, especially given that the Beatles are connected to Apple Corps. Ringo means apple in Japanese, and while I've read that Ringo's name came from wearing rings, it's just an interesting coincidence, especially considering there was someone at least of Japanese descent involved with the band.
