  • whats with the end

  • The film clip came from "The Wild One" with Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin, released in 1953.

  • @jagatinho I do not get it. What was the point of including that clip at the end? Because they mentioned "all the beetles missed u, Johnny" or what?

  • @bonitodia1 i didn't put it there. it's From Beatles Anthology DVD. you should ask the producers :)

  • Wait Can Some One Explain what " The Flaming Pie " is ?

  • Flaming Pie! ... I get ot now!

  • Off course The Beetles name came from that movie mate.

  • @iLoveYoutuveVideos OK, thank u 4 your feedback :D

  • @bonitodia1

    Because john took the name 'beetles' from that movie, then he changed it to beatles. Apparently there are many versions about how he came up with that name

  • this is history

  • @celesteknoles I have no clue...

  • Notice the guy points to the girls and says the Beetles miss you all the beetles miss you as to say" the bitches missed you Johnny." Because American Biker slang a Beetle is a female ho that hangs with Bikers. I think the actors knew about Biker culture when they told him biker gang was called the Beetles.

  • @celesteknoles There's a story that Stu Sutcliff really liked the movie "The Wild One" and suggested the name Beetles to John, sort of as an answer to Buddy Holly and the Crickets. John changed the spelling to Beatles since they were a "beat" group. It was originally The Silver Beatles, but Silver was later dropped.

  • If you read "John" By Cynthia Lennon, she said what John said, except for the flaming pie crap. She said that they were looking for a name and John came up with "Beatles" because turned backwards it was "Les Beat" (pronounced 'lay') and it sounded French and cool.
