The Fab Four. And Their Parrot



The Beatles arrived in Seattle fifty years ago this past week, August 25, 1966, for their second and last appearance in the Emerald City. Which of course got us to thinking about John, Paul, George, and Ringo. And parrots. Because, why not?

And sure enough:


We found John and Paul posing with a parrot. Though Paul didn't seem particularly happy about it.


Ringo, however, was clearly comfortable with the Blue and Gold macaw on his shoulder.



John seemed to have a particular affinity for this Blue and Gold macaw parrot.





We're still searching for a photo of George with a parrot. Don't think this one counts.





Here's George in the vicinity of a parrot. If anybody knows of a photo of George with a parrot, please send us a link and we will happily post it.

Even better, if anyone knows the backstory to the Blue and Gold macaw parrot on set with The Beatles please share!

Our Hyacinth Macaw Parrot Princess Tara doesn't want to be a star. She just wants to drive my car.


Drive My Car

With Apologies to The Beatles

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said baby, "Can't you see
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between"

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you

I told a girl that my prospects were good
And she said baby, "It's understood
Working for peanuts is all very fine
But I can show you a better time"

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you

I told that girl I can start right away
And she said, "Listen baby I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start"

Baby you can drive my car
Yes I'm gonna be a star
Baby you can drive my car
And maybe I love you
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
Beep beep'm beep beep yeah
