- Fantastic!

- Sounds like a hippopotamus.
- (children) Question time!
- (Finebros) What band was that? - (promptly) Beatles.
- The Beatles.
-The Beatles.
- The Beatles!
- The cockroaches. The Beatles!
- (Finebros) They are called the Beatles.
- Beatles? That's like...
I'm a beetle.
- (Finebros) How do you know about them?
- 'Cause everybody knows the Beatles. They're legends.
- I've known about them since I was in my mom's tummy.
- I just know my dad told me he was a big fan.
- My second-grade teacher,
she would play it in class all the time, and I would love 'em.
- My fifth-grade teacher would play the song every single day.
- (Finebros) Which song? - The "Hello" song
you'd hear off of, like, the T-Mobile commercial.
- (Finebros) Did you like the music? - Yeah.
- Yes.
- I love the Beatles.
- It's like classic, you know?
- It's all right.
- It's not the best-around music. I have heard many better ones.
- (Finebros) Each song is much different from the others.
What are your thoughts on that? - I think it's cool.
- They're kind of random. "I am the eggman, I am the walrus."
What does that have to do with anything?
- That's probably what made them have such a big following,
'cause they can be so different.
- They proved that they can do any genre.
- I guess as music moves on, it does kind of change a little bit.
Like, I've noticed the old Bieber
is different from the new Bieber.
- (Finebros) I'm gonna show you pictures of the Beatles,
and we're gonna talk about them. - Yes!!
- (Finebros) All right. So this is John Lennon.
- He's a pretty cool cat.
- Not very beautiful?
- (whispering) The Biebs!
- He's so amazing. Is he still alive?
- (Finebros, sadly) No. - Aww!
- (Finebros) And here's Paul McCartney. - Even worse.
- Whoa!
He's got big eyes.
- (whispers) The Biebs! (chuckles) Again.
- Kind of like... One Direction?
- He's good looking. The chicks must have liked him.
- He looks like a fashion designer with a little bit of sass.
- (Finebros) And George Harrison. - Winky face.
- Okay, I don't know why he's winking.
- George Harrison is really hot.
- He seems like my kinda guy.
- (Finebros) And finally, Ringo. - I like Ringo!
- Oh my god. I want to give him a hug.
- Ringo Starr-- that's like the most peculiar name.
- They look exactly all the same, and they're black and white.
I don't like black and white!
- (Finebros) So who's your favorite Beatle?
- Well, the only normal- looking one is John.
- Paul.
- Ringo.
-Ringo.
- The Paul one.
- George.
- Ringo. Yeah.
- If I had to date one, I'd go for John.
- John Lennon.
- I like Paul McCartney, my favorite.
- I have to go with Paul. He did serenade me.
- Ringo!!!
- (Finebros) Here's a picture of them
in the beginning of their career
and then towards the end of their career.
- Wow.
- Biebs and hippie.
- I don't like them with long hair.
- (Finebros) Why not? - They're just ugly.
Exit out, Benny!
- (Finebros) Do they remind you of any artists of today?
- Kinda Coldplay.
- Fun.
- Emblem3.
- One Direction.
-One Direction.
- One Direction?
- One Direction.
- Everyone's saying they replaced--
One Direction replaces the Beatles.
But they're irreplaceable.
I don't know how people can compare them.
- (Finebros) Some people back in the day
would go crazy for the Beatles.
And I have some footage of Beatlemania.
(Finebros snickers)
(raucous screaming)
- (fan) OH MY GOD!!!
- (chuckles)
- (fan) We came here at 6:00 in the morning, 5:30, to see them.
And all they do is push you farther and farther away.
- That would be me.
- "Ack. I can't see them."
- (fan) Got every Beatle record and all.
- "Every Beatle record!"
- What are they doing?
- Early generation of the crazy girl fans.
- They have to have cops out there. That's so crazy.
- They're taking the fans away?
- Yep, that's how it looks in that time.
- That was like the birth of the fangirl,
the birth of the boy band, like, just there.
- (Finebros) How were those people acting?
- (screaming very shrilly)
- (screaming piercingly)
- They act like there's no food left
and there's the last Twinkie up there or something.
- No wonder they call it Beatlemania! People are going crazy!
- (Finebros) Does it surprise you
that kids were going crazy for bands
even more than 50 years ago?
- Yeah. I didn't know old-school people did that.
- I don't know. Back then it seems more like
people were not so stupid.
- Not really, 'cause females go a little cray.
- It's normal that people get crazy.
Even I get crazy.
(chattering like a monkey)
- I thought they'd be a little more mature about it.
Have a new perspective on the olden days now.
Did you do this, Grandma and Grandpa?
- All our grandparents and stuff sometimes will nag us about,
"Oh, you're just crazy kids." They were exactly the same, see?
(clank!) - (Finebros) Truth!
The Beatles were the biggest band in the world back then.
But they broke up at the height of their popularity.
How do you think people reacted? - Sad.
- Devastated.
- Major meltdowns?
- Depressed for days.
- If there was Twitter back then or something, yeah.
- I mean, there was crying when they were still together.
So there must have been even more crying when they broke up.
- (Finebros) Finally, are the Beatles better or worse
than music today? - So much better!
- They're better.
- Beatles are still better, 'cause the music now is so bad.
- I'm gonna have to say worse.
- Music today is better.
- We all know pretty clearly
that Justin Bieber is the best person of all time.
- Ugh... I'm gonna get so much hate for this.
They might be better than today's music.
I just don't like them better.
- Baby Einstein I think is a little better for me.
But I don't want you to stop,
because it's your head, you get to think.
