The Beatles-Pyramus & Thisbe-Shakespeare skit

Disclaimer: I do not own The Beatles or their music. No copyright infringement is intended.

This is a skit that is included in "The Beatles Explosion" DVD that I have. The Beatles perform Shakespeare's Pyramus and Thisbe. John, (no surprise there!) plays the girl, Thisbe, Pyramus' (Paul's) lover. George is Moonshine, who represents the moon..and Ringo, loveable Ringo, is "Lion".

Watch out for the scene where George is doing his "Moonbeam" monologue. You'll suddenly hear a very distinctive, "Fuck you!" ring out as George is being heckled. The voice is unmistakeably.......John's! LOL!

Incidentally, as is usally the case, upon uploading videos to YT, the audio and video tend to be out of synch..a problem I have no control over. Hope you enjoy this clip, just the same. :)

@AngloSoviet lol..it's all part of the act, hon'. They're supposed to be purposely heckling the boys. Love how John says, "F@@k you", though, when George gets heckled! xD Thanks for watching, sweetie. :)
