The story of driving down to Liverpool with Katie-Bar-The-Door, on the other hand, would probably play more like an episode of—well, what? Are there any happily married couples in film, television or literature? Other than Nick and Nora Charles, and Gomez and Morticia Addams, I can't think of any. Although, granted, minus the murder mysteries and the seven foot butler, we very much resemble both of those couples.
Anyway, here is an example of why no matter how much I respect Elvis, I prefer the Beatles:
Say, Who, here's a different video edit of "Hey Bulldog" that includes all the pre-song chat and it answers a question I've always had -- who's yelling "quiet! quiet!" at the end of the song. The answer, it's Lennon, and it was actually before the song -- he was telling his band mates (some band called the Beatles) to put a lid on it so he could launch into the song. George Martin must have done an edit and dropped it in at the end.
Which clearly makes this bootleg an "outfake" as opposed to a true outtake -- they've taken the pre-song chatter and added it to the actual song, then they've added some post-song stuff to the end ...
Named for Katie-Bar-The-Door, the Katies are "alternate Oscars"—who should have been nominated, who should have won—but really they're just an excuse to write a history of the movies from the Silent Era to the present day.

Remember: There are no wrong answers, only movies you haven't seen yet.

Look at me—Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Are my eyes really brown? Uh, no, they're green. Would we have the nerve to dive into the icy water and save a person from drowning? That's a key question. I, of course, can't swim, so I never have to face it. Say, haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions?

From first hearing till now, always especially loved the "Big Man (Ringo: Yeah?) walking in the park -- wigwam, frightened of the dark"!
