Twist and shout! You certainly didn’t need to call for help with this one, that’s for sure. You’ve shown some great Beatles knowledge, and believe us, many people will struggle with a few of these teasers. Only a true Beatles brainiac could answer the majority of them correctly, so well done! Now you’re on a high, you can sit back and just imagine the adulation, the screaming fans and the roaring crowds while you revel in this moment of success.
Don’t forget to share this quiz with your friends, too!

We’re sorry to say that you’ve bungled your performance here. From “A Hard Day’s Night”, right through to Ringo’s solo hit, you’ve just not quite been able to recall the facts correctly. Maybe you’re a young fan, or maybe you were around when the boys were in their prime. Either way, we really think you should know a little bit more than you did about possibly the greatest band ever. Maybe you would have done better ‘with a little help from your friends’?
Talking of friends, why not share this quiz with them and test their Beatles knowledge!
