(no subject)
Beatles userpics are coming tomorrow! I'm making them tonight following making many, many screencaps. They'll be a mix of Yellow Submarine and the animated series, though there will be more for the animated series than Yellow Submarine simply because there are more displays of particular emotions required in that.
By the way, because these must be shared here too...
The first image is from an episode called 'What You're Doing'. When the boys split up to find the right path back to camp, Ringo unfortunately finds himself being forced to marry Ringola, the Queen of the Gypsies. When the other three learn of it, they know they have to save Ringo somehow. Paul sees a dress on a clothesline and takes it, having George wear it. Yep. George will be wearing the dress, much to John's amusement. Just as the wedding is about to conclude, the boys (including George shouting in a falsetto) crash the ceremony. George declares that Ringo is engaged to him ("Come along, Poopsie!"). Thankful for the chance to get away, Ringo allows George to take his hand and they sneak away. Unfortunately, not only does Ringola and another female gypsy decide they're lovestruck by Paul and John, but the male gypsy who kept preventing Ringo's earlier attempts at escape sees George and is also lovestruck. The episode ends with the boys trying to flee.
The other two are from a pre-credits bumper towards the end of the show. In order to escape the fangirls chasing them, they disguise themselves as a family (Mama Paul, Papa John, child George and baby Ringo).
The series is very silly, but great for a laugh if you love cheesy humor. Paul Frees, who voiced Boris in Rocky and Bullwinkle voiced John and George. Lance Percival, who voiced Old Fred in Yellow Submarine, voiced Ringo and Paul. None of the boys had Liverpudlian accents; Ringo's was a Birmingham accent, John and Paul were simplified accents and George was a strange mix of Irish and Asian.
I also saw some episodes of the Japanese dub, including 'What You're Doing'. Tanaka Hideyuki (Clavis in Angelique and Kinomoto Fujitaka in Cardcaptor Sakura) voiced George. His falsetto seriously had me in fits of squee. Gonna look around for more to check out too.
Finally, remember the video I shared of George as Pirate Bob? I didn't think anything could top that. I was wrong. Ringo Starr singing about how he wishes he was a Powerpuff Girl did. I'm being serious! To celebrate the release of the renewed Powerpuff Girls, in which Ringo actually voiced a character named Fibonacci Sequins, they had him sing a song about being a Powerpuff Girl. Here's the video; be prepared to die laughing.
I never thought I'd ever see one of The Beatles in Powerpuff Girls. Learning of that seriously made my day. Not just that, but the song itself has me smiling endlessly. I couldn't stop playing it last night!
Better get that Official BBC Children in Need Medley too. Ringo was in that as Thomas the Tank Engine (he was the narrator for the older episodes) and Jimmy Hibbert was in it as a few characters as well (you'll recall that name from Albert the Fifth Musketeer in which he voiced Albert, Athos, Louis XIII and others, as well as Animal Shelf in which he voiced Gumpa, Woeful, Stripey and many others). One of the songs from the medley was 'Hey, Jude' and was done by the whole cast (it was the "na na na na hey, Jude" part),so yep. I was fangirling over Jimmy Hibbert singing along to a Beatles song as well.
Sir Paul McCartney was a performer for the actual concert, and yes, he did 'Hey, Jude'.
Two more images; the Beatles imagining themselves as Musketeers.
John: Athos!
George: Porthos!
Paul: Aramis!
Ringo: And Ringo!
This happened in the episode 'Any Time at All'. While in Paris, they see a painting of the Three Musketeers (plus one) and start to imagine themselves as them, saving women in trouble. After the fantasy, they think how it would be nice to do as they'd heard and rescue a pretty damsel in distress. A lady overhears them and acts like she is an innocent lady being chased by bad men. Turned out she was a jewel thief named Fifi le Crook according to Inspector Dumas (Yes, they had the inspector named after the author of The Three Musketeers).
Ringo: Those were the days, huh, lads? When men were men and ladies were ladies.
John: Fortunately, it's still that same arrangement today.
