00:03 - Yes, John and Paul kiss. Paul:“To say about the girls that you….do”
00:25 - They kiss again. John, in a sexy voice: “Alright Paul, come along now..”
00:58 - John whispers : “McCartney”
01:13 - John: “Now, give us a kiss! ha ha!” “Mmm” “Ok..” “That might be an idea…”
and don’t try to tell me these aren’t kisses ‘cause I won’t believe you anyway.
Who is the weirdest Beatle?
They all were 💖
I am a big fan of @orphanbeat's analysis. They really all were different types of weird, and I adore them for it.
Ringo is the sort of kooky uncle/grandpa that makes strange mspaint art that stirs up feelings of profound awe and fear and falls asleep in the middle of the family bbq and eats broccoli for breakfast.
George is a strange little gremlin. A gnome living in your garden. The scarecrow on the farm. The philosopher that lives in a cave to recieve visions from God but emerges every other hour for a snack.
Paul is a bizarre man. Throat kissed by an angel. Too much energy stuffed in a human form, and his seams are about to snap at any given moment. He hops onto a stage and you see those threads strain. He's not quite attached to the earth. This is his brain, but it's always in motion.
John is a weird raccoon man. A crazy cat lady. Something a grandmother would knit on a weekday morning. A trembling teacup of emotion. Take the calming painting in your therapist's office and put it inthe microwave... John is the result. He is a gangly puppet that will offer you his strings himself.
