When someone asks you one simple question about one topic by the Beatles, you end up giving them a long history about it.
You mean I am the Walrus? Yeah, that's the wackiest song most likely... Unless Revolution 9 counts. Did you know that I am the Walrus was said to be influenced by drugs, which it partially is, but John Lennon decided to just put weird words together and sing them to make the public believe there was some intense meaning, but there wasn't. This is also done in Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Did you know people believe that LSD (Lucy Sky Diamonds) means LSD, as in the drug, but John told us it simply has to do with a picture his son, Julian, drew when he met this girl named Lucy. Back to I am the Walrus, it was the 6th track on the Magical Mystery Tour Album in 1967. The eggman is said to represent Humpty Dumpty, but who said Humpty Dumpty was an egg? Oh... did you want me to remind you of Revolution 9 and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds... (I know, the person I am pretending to talk to has probably already walked away... Unless you are some kind of die-hard fan, you probably skipped this)
If someone says the first lyrics to a song without meaning for it to have to do with the Beatles, you finish it.
Most common examples:
Person: "Help!" --> You: "I need somebody!"
Person: "Hey!" --> You: "Jude"
Person: "Look out!" --> You: "Helter Skelter"
Person: "Hello!" --> You: "Hello, I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!"
Person: "A long, long time ago." --> You: "Don't leave me waiting here!" OR "Your mother should know!"
Your dream project would be on the Beatles
I found 5 loopholes to make 5 statistic projects in my Computer Applications class on the Beatles, and we were assigned to do a project on any famous person with a 2-5 minute speech, I chose Paul McCartney and I was up there for 28 minutes. My teacher gave me extra credit.
You constantly wish you lived in the 60s and 70s because of them
I want to trade generations with my Grandmother sometimes.
When you hear the names John, Paul, George or Ringo, you immediately think of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr
I have three uncles named John, Paul, and George... All make me think BEATLES
Your screensaver and computer background is Beatle-related
And email address, and usernames
You have been told more than once to stop talking about the Beatles
Don't forget those blurbs...
You go to bed listening to "golden slumbers," the worlds greatest lullaby
Once there was a way...
AND you have sung Golden Slumbers to a baby (if you've had the opportunity)
To get back homeward...
You are particularly critical of any covers of Beatles songs
Even if they do a good job... NO IT ISN'T REALLY PAUL/JOHN/GEORGE/RINGO
When the Beatles harmonize, you can tell which voice is which.
Because the world is round...
The greatest thing ever would be if you were surrounded by family and friends, blowing out your candles to the Beatle's "Birthday" instead of the traditional "happy birthday"
Yep...
You constantly search for Beatles pictures, even though you have way too many in your computer
Always...
When you hear the number 9, you repeat the phrase “number 9… number 9… number 9…” In an English accent.
It's so tempting in math class...
The only full French sentence you know is what you've heard Paul sing in "Michelle"
Unless you take French Class...
'Beatle' has been added to your computers dictionary
And Ringo
There is no official George Harrison memorial. Anywhere. That fact makes you angry
Tremendously...
Your friends don't even ask and automatically assume you want Beatles garb for your b-day... and they're right :)
What would make a better gift?
If Paul or Ringo are going to be at a televised event, (say, the Oscars or the Emmys) people remind you, even though you already know
Yes, I'm going to Paul' concert on June 21st! (I know, that already past...). Yes, the concert was fabulous, thank you for asking!
Someone has told you that you will "grow out" of your "Beatles stage." Psh, riiiiiight
Not a chance
People will say a word like "Something" and you break out in song
One time someone said "Bet the Beatles didn't write a song about the word strawberry"
hahahahahaha
I sang the song "Strawberry Fields Forever"
True story :)
You slip Beatles references/quotes/etc. into everyday conversations
Yep. Even if the person doesn't get it

EIGHT DAYS A WEEK I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU
You have written Fan Fiction, and a character who is A LOT like you somehow gets very close to your favorite Beatle...
Or Yoko Ono gets shot instead of John. Which ever one you like more.
It bothers you that this is over
You wish there was more, and you know it
