The Beatles band is now 64 years since they got together, so why did they spell their name with an A instead of and E?
Some just learned the reason their name is spelled with an A is because it's a music pun, like the word beat. Get it?
Why didn't we all know this? Did you know this? I had posters of The Beatles in my bedroom and I never realized this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wUDRIC5RSX4&pp=ygUUd2hlbiBpJ20gNjQgYmVhdG…
I've listened to them all my life and I just never clocked it - I know how to spell beetles, and I completely understand spelling it with an A is a play on words, but I still never processed it.
However, most Brits living accross the pond in the UK knew this all along.
Explaining why the band went with the name in The Beatles' biography in 1961, Lennon said: "Why Beatles? Ugh, Beatles, how did the name arrive? So we will tell you. It came in a vision – a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From this day on you are Beatles with an 'A'. Thank you, mister man, they said, thanking him.'"
