Very much like a Beethoven concerto, the song winds up to introduce the solo instrument, which in this case happens to be Ringo's slightly flat voice. Again, the Beatles are putting us on with engaging irony: After a million people have anxiously awaited the new album, spent the price of a steak dinner on it, and have left work early in hot anticipation of hearing it, Ringo sings "What would you do if I sang out of tune/ Would you get up and walk out on me?" However, Ringo's main appeal is for a "little help from...
...people went to record shops and bought the Beatles' 13th album, Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Few of these people were Beatlemaniacs; many of them were Beatleologists.

Beatleologists, in varying degrees of erudition, are the new breed of Beatles fan, and they may make the Beatles more contemplated than Buddha...

"But I expect my wife and I will play with it as well...
...Ringo Cycle. Leone called the flick A Fistful of Dollars. Basketfuls of denaro would have been more like it. The film outgrossed Mary Poppins and My Fair Lady in Italy, will net an estimated $10 million on its $250,000 investment in worldwide distribution. The success raised Actor Eastwood's fees; he got $15,000 for Fistful, now commands $500,000 a picture. It also encouraged Leone. Pouring on the tomato sauce, he followed last year with A Few Dollars More, which has become the second biggest money maker in Italian film history (No. 1: Dino De Laurentiis...
