About this episode

Episode 12 - Other People’s Songs About The Beatles In 1963

The Beatles very quickly became a cultural phenomenon, and if you’re part of the culture you will be referenced in print, on the screen, and in song. By the end of the year, the very first songs about The Beatles were hitting the charts. Over the years these tracks evolve from novelties to commentaries, to tributes and beyond. Your hosts Steven and Jason take you on fun but far-from-conclusive journey though some of these songs. Warning: Contains Jeff Lynne. Live on tape from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real.
