    Id be willing to bet that you could chant “na na na nananana nananana” in almost any public place in the world and at least 1 person will reply “heeey juude”. Thats the impact The Beatles had.

      I think you’re right. After reading this I thought I should check the 24/7 webcam at the Abbey Road crosswalk. Within 10 seconds, two women stopped in the middle and took a selfie. The Beatles took a photo there 51 1/2 years ago. So yes, their impact is still being felt!

The sun was going down and it would be freezing in northern Canada soon. I just started screaming Na Na Na Na Nah and wait a few seconds. Finally I heard a faint Hey Jude. After and hour or so through this call and response we finally found each other and made it back to civilization.

    Back in the day, songs were meant to be only about three minutes long. The Beatles defied expectation by making a seven minute song and getting it played on the radio. And it became one of the biggest hits ever. Only the Beatles could get away with writing a three minute song and then sticking four minutes of "na-na-na-naa" on the end. An absolute classic.

    Hey Jude stayed at number one longer than any other Beatles' song. A Paul McCartney masterpiece written about John Lennon's son Julian Lennon. It was/is a lot of people's favorite Beatles' song. It was their biggest hit. Personally, I love so many of the Beatles' songs it's hard to pick just one. And I have had the pleasure of seeing Paul McCartney perform this song live 5 times. It always gets the crowd going and everyone up singing and swaying to the music.
    I hope you react to YOU NEVER GIVE ME YOUR MONEY and GOLDEN SLUMBERS sometime soon. Two other great McCartney songs the Beatles did off of Abbey Road.

      I only got to see Paul McCartney live once. It was "Wings Over America" in June 1976 at Seattle's old "Kingdome". It was the first major concert that building ever hosted having only opened less than three months prior. It was the best show I saw in that building, Led Zeppelin in July '77 was a close second but McCartney and Wings still outranks them.
      Wings was not, however, the first event I went to at the Kingdome. My mother dragged me (kicking and screaming all the way) to the Billy Graham meetings (all freakin' FIVE of them).

    I'm not proficient enough to explain the impact that "The Beatles" have had on millions of us but let me try. For as long as I have been alive "The Beatles" and their music have been a beautiful constant in my life. From watching their cartoons as a child to loving their music as I grew up. To following their individual careers, "The Beatles" in one form or another have been there. I am not alone in feeling a special bond with "The lads" from Liverpool. They're like a warm blanket that always make us feel good when I hear any of their music. I was fortunate enough to watch Sir Paul McCartney in concert and I was in tears as I finally had the chance to watch a Beatle live, perform his greatest songs. Long live the remaining Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. May John Lennon and George Harrison RIP. Thank you.

And then listen to the version on the soundtrack of "The Beatles - Love" Cirque du Soleil show that George Martin completely reimagined from a demo tape of the song with a new symphonic orchestration, arranged by Sir George.

    I was a young teenager in 1963 and heard Please Please Me for the first time, it stopped me in my tracks and so The Beatles journey began, I can't believe that me and thousands of others are still on that journey 60 years later, just staggering musical greatness.
