Beatlejuice

A week or so back, was involved in a Beatles Tribute by a band at Bangalore. One of the features of the event was a quiz where in Remasters of Revolver, Abbey Road and Rubber Soul were given away to the winners.
Predictably, the people who were supposed to conduct the quiz had everything but the questions to ask.
The task of setting ten questions in five minutes was soon deflected to me.

Thought I'll share the churn out here

Here goes:

1. Which Beatles song was actually written as a single for the Rolling Stones?

2. What do the following people have in common- Hitler, Gandhi and Leo Gorcey?

3. Which song was actually written as a campaign song for Timothy Leary?

4. At some point in time of the other all the people in this list have enjoyed which informal title?
The list: Brian Epstein, Neil Aspinall, Derek Taylor, George Martin

5. Which Paul Mcartney song was addressed to Lennon's son?

6.Which Beatles song addressed to Lennon's mother has lines inspired by Khalil Gibran?
