There really is a sex, drugs and rock & roll part of the brain...

Oh, and one of my favorite parody covers:



Just a little more:

"And it might have been even better.

Impatient at the time it was taking to record -- work had begun on it in December 1966 -- EMI asked for a potboiler single.

No other act on earth would have stripped Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever from their coming album to satisfy a record company's greed.

But the Beatles did.

These days, it is widely accepted that Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields is the greatest pop single of all time...."
