Pop Go the Beatles

... that the Beatles secretly called the host of their radio show "Pee Litres"?

ALT1: ... that the Beatles had their own radio show where they played songs that they never recorded for their albums? Source: https://slate.com/culture/2013/05/pop-go-the-beatles-on-the-bbc-blogging-the-beatles-examines-the-radio-show-video.html

Overall:

Expanded 5x within a week of nomination. Nominator has less than 5 nominations so no QPQ required. Only a small quibble with ALT1, the article says that the Beatles played songs they never recorded for EMI (as opposed to "for their albums" in the hook), though as far as I know all of the Beatles' albums were recorded with EMI so should be fine. Either way I prefer the primary hook to ALT1. Looks good to go! 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
