manner of weird sounds upon their instruments but alas the elders of great britain were exceedingly wrathful and did drive the four youths over the sea to the land of the germans and here the youths did let the hair on their heads grow long about their ears and they did look exceedingly odd and they changeth their name to beatles that they might be known as the beatles it came to pass that the people of hamburg did like the sounds of the beatles and a great noise as of the wailing of women did arise across the land now tilth paul unto his fellows verily i say unto you let us go unto the
